Thanks for sharing this. Of course your experience with covid-19 may not carry over to other celiacs who get it, which is why it's best to get vaccinated. Likewise, the CDC recommends that you get vaccinated even if you've already had it, due to the different variants out there, and because you may have gotten a very tiny amount of initial virus, thus you may not be producing enough antibodies against it.

Scott, you really need to do your research and look at ALL the studies, such as the Cleveland Clinic study.  You are giving medical advise where you have NO authority to do so.

I am passing on the CDC's advice, and I don't need "authority" to do so:

Get vaccinated if you haven't. This pandemic will continue until we reach a much higher percentage level of vaccinated people, and is running rampant in areas where the vaccination rate is low.

I would repeat: read more studies. Have you even checked the VAERS report on this 'vaccine', and done a minimal amount of reading? And are you ready to take responsibility should someone consider your words seriously?

I am on several email lists for new research on covid-19, including The New England Journal of Medicine's. I read new info about it daily.

I believe you mean the totally debunked VAERS report claims that are discussed here:

And what does the Cleveland Clinic recommend after they published their study? "Cleveland Clinic recommends those who are eligible receive the COVID-19 vaccine."

Ok, and??? This study does not in ANY way conclude that someone should not get a covid vaccine:

CONCLUSION

Substantial immune memory is generated after COVID-19, involving all four major types of immune memory. About 95% of subjects retained immune memory at ~6 months after infection. Circulating antibody titers were not predictive of T cell memory. Thus, simple serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not reflect the richness and durability of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2. This work expands our understanding of immune memory in humans. These results have implications for protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and recurrent COVID-19.

 

AlwaysLearning Collaborator

I read a good article today about how different types of vaccines and contracting covid all teach your immune system in different ways. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58270098

Even if you had COVID already, that does not mean that you won't get it (or a variant) again so you should still get vaccinated. 

I've already had two vaccine shots, but I eagerly await a new booster when it becomes available because I know that my immune system still has more to learn about covid and that it forgets some of what it learns over time. 

Yes, we will eventually get to a point where we have all been exposed to covid and are less at risk than we were at the start. But I would like to have that initial encounter be only after a vaccine has given me some tools with which to fight back. And it would also be nice to not have an initial exposure be during the circulation of a more-deadly strain like the Delta variant.

And again, a reminder that it isn't all about just you and if you can handle getting sick. Rather it is about the potential to spread the virus to others whose immune systems may not be as robust. 

It really is simple common sense. Get your jabs. Wear your masks. Stop falling prey to conspiracy theories and fear mongering!

The last cases of wild (naturally occurring) polio in the United States were in 1979 in four states, among Amish residents who had refused vaccination.

Covid-19 has well exceeded the death toll from polio and regardless its origin is not going away by itself.

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good. I’m hoping. thanks it feels good to listen to other people there views.
