Long haul covid from celiac disease


Georgeann

Recommended Posts

Georgeann Newbie

Hi I’m new but I have been gluten-free for a few years now . I have Lyme and mold illness and I’m celiac positive . I read that people with celiac are more prone to long haul covid due to the virus going through the holes in the small intestine to other parts of the body . I ended up with severe insomnia and phantom smells due to brain Inflammation from long haul . Just wondering if this happened to anyone else and did you get better . My celiac is more neurological symptoms. I don’t have gut pain . I do have terrible malabsorption of vitamins and minerals  . Thanks Georgeann

Hi @Georgeann, Welcome to the forum. 

Do you have test results, celiac, vitamins, minerals, that you can share with range? After two years of gluten free you should be mostly healed and absorbing most of what you eat. You might redo the Celiac panal to see if you are truly gluten free. Or follow a diet to eliminate trace gluten for a while. Trace gluten contamination may play a role in mucosal and clinical recovery in a subgroup of diet-adherent non-responsive celiac disease patients You might be deficient in some because of your diet. Along with gluten you give up the vitamins and minerals that grains are fortified with. In addition Vitamin D, B1, choline and iodine and potasium are commonly deficient. You might try something like Geritol Multivitamin and additional vitamin D, choline and B1. Zinc is an antiviral. Eat more food with potassium, the DV is 4.7 grams. 

Did you get a penicillan shot for the lyme? Lyme is like syphillis, a spirochete, and  Penicillan G is the best at killing spirocetes. Many of your syptoms are seen in both. Mold also can have neurotoxins. Start with what you can fix. Much vitamins. Is the mold environmental? Increasing vitamin intake across the board will help your body do its job. Could be Celiac, could be Lyme or just simply vitamin D and Thiamine deficiencies, or others. It depends on what you eat. Any way step one is to deal with your vitamin and mineral deficiencies, even the best medications won't fix you if you don't.

Welcome to the forum.

Celiac.com has summarized all the major research that has been done on covid-19 and celiac disease, and, so far at least, the research indicates that people with celiac disease are not at a higher risk of getting covid-19 or severe covid-19 compared to those without celiac disease. Of course, the amount of research done in this area is fairly limited so far, and more information may come out later, but it may be possible that you just had bad luck and are one of those who end up with long covid. 

Here is a recent study:

and here are all of our summaries on this:

100% Grassfed milk has about a 1 to 1 ratio of omega 6 : omega 3.Organic milk is about 3:1 and regular milk is 5:1.

 Modern American diets typically boast an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio around 10 to 1, sometimes as high as 30 to 1 while the optimal ratio for health is 4 to 1.   https://riverview.org/blog/uncategorized/get-an-oil-change-improving-your-omega-6-to-omega-3-ratio/

I eat sushi Nori, certified organic for iodine. I tear off pieces and wash it down with my morning coffee. One 2.5 gram sheet has 42 mcg iodine the safe upper toleration in the US is 1100 mcg. Lugol solution is another option but not as simple.

Wernicke’s Encephalopathy:  Role of Thiamine Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is an acute neuropsychiatric disorder which arises as the result of an inadequate supply of thiamine to the brain. It can occur in the context of inadequate dietary intake, and is also seen in a number of medical conditions associated with excessive loss of thiamine from the body, or impaired absorption of thiamine from the intestinal tract... WE is not diagnosed prior to autopsy in 80% of cases. Clinicians fail to diagnose the syndrome, perhaps in the belief that it occurs less commonly than it does

      One small study I read recently found that half of the celiacs in the study experienced small bowel villous inflammation from CMP (Cow's Milk Protein).

      It’s interesting that you say this. I’ve been constipated all my life, fatigued since I got my first period, severely anemic for 2 and a half years, low vitamin D. But it wasn’t until after I got food poisoning a couple weeks ago, that I have not had a normal bowel movement since. And my drs told me to eat a lot of gluten because they want to test me for celiac, primarily because of the anemia and chronically low ferritin. Ferritin is supposed to be 14 but ideally 50-146. 2 and a half years ago it was 3.7, then 7.3, then 10.3, but now it’s 5. And a year ago I got on birth control so I don’t even get a period anymore. Almost all of my current health issues (much more than just celiac) either started or became a lot worse after I got Covid 2 years ago. If anyone has any tips for me it’d be greatly appreciated. Waiting on my blood test results, should get them in a day or 2.

      Thank you! He is avoiding all of the BROW recommended gluten culprits. He does still eat dairy and he knows about FodMap foods that have proteins hard to digest! Thanks for all the great advice! I appreciate all the comments.

      Any suggestions from other celiacs for spices in Canada? I am super sensitive. Thank you
