My mum always tells me to take Zinc. We've got these zinc drops, sorta like cough drops. Not sure what brand they are (maybe walmart's brand, whatever that is??). They don't taste very good but they do seem to help me not get sick and cut my colds in half.

I would make it a habit to take extra vitamin C. I also take garlic -- Kyolic has one specifically made for boosting the immune system.

Get lots of rest, on a regular basis.

Eat healthy, regular meals -- don't skip meals and eat junk. Avoid excessive refined carbohydrates.

like carlab mentioned - eat a healthy balanced diet. it's possible you could be missing out on vital things if you aren't.

also - make sure you exercise daily! even if some days it's just a short walk. i hope you feel better and congrats on the upcoming wedding.

Good suggestions all around- also:

If you can afford it and have time one of the "proven" benefits of acupuncture is boosting the human immune system. I KNOW it has done this for me in the past and I am using it now for the same reason. Good luck to you.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
