Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.

New to celiacs but noticed until I began having the symptoms that drove me to the doctor & investigation that led to diagnosis, I did not get sick really at all. Now it’s non-stop. And I have at least one flair up about every two weeks. Admittedly probably due to learning the ropes on cross contamination and pot label reading skills, but to go from no symptoms to a near constant battle is perplexing. Will be following this convo to see what conclusions are drawn. 

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing as me. Literally ever since I went 100% gluten free and started eating the cleanest I have ever ate in my life, I get sick WAY more often than I ever did prior to my diagnosis and being gluten free. I almost dont rememebr ever getting sick before. Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger? Really interested to see if anyone has any insight on this. Thank you!

ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.
