Flu Vaccine

I’m wondering if there is a certain brand or type of flu vaccine that is better for sensitive celiacs. I had a reaction last year and had a lot of sensations itchiness etc. I would like that to not happen again so wondered if anyone had a recommendation or if they have received certain ones this year that they didn’t react to

Perhaps you have a chicken egg allergy, which is used in some types of flu vaccine:

It looks like there are types that don't use it, and you may want to ask your doctor about the Recombinant Influenza (Flu) Vaccine:

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".
