HI, MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN gluten-free NOW 2 MONTHS AND ON MONDAY AFTERNOON W/O ANY ADVANCE WARNING SHE THREW UP (SORRY)! TWO HOURS LATER SHE DID IT AGAIN. SHE'S ALSO DIABETIC ON A PUMP AND HER SUGAR LEVELS PLUMMETED! SHE WAS PRESCRIBED ZOFRAN WHICH STOPPED HER FROM THROWING UP AGAIN AND WAS PUT ON LIQUIDS. SHE'S FINALLY OK NOW, BUT I WAS WONDERING IF HAVING celiac disease MAKES YOU MORE SENSITIVE TO STOMACH VIRUS' ETC. SHE'S VERY HEALTHY OTHERWISE. THANKS FOR ANY RESPONSE. I LOVE THIS BOARD.

I don't know.......it might depend on the person, but I'm not. Besides my celiac disease symptoms, I can't remember the last time I had the flu or some other stomach problem. Last year around Christmas, everyone in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades at my school was getting sick from some flu-like thing. My class of 20 depleted to 4........I was one of the four. So, it might affect some people, but I seem to be okay (knock on wood).

I don't think having celiac disease makes people more sensitive to viruses. Some kids where I live have had a stomach bug recently and none of them have celiac disease.

Hi,

Thanks for your information everyone, it's good to hear that celiac disease doesn't make you any more prone to getting flu bugs, etc. She's much better now.

My daughter began having intussusceptions in her small intestine (like an old fashioned telescope closing in on itself), and that was what made her vomit. The damage done to her intestine bc of having celiac and not knowing made her intestine weak and thin. She had to have 3 emergency operations to fix the intussusception. Does you daughter ever cringe over in pain, or get on all fours and rock back and forth and cry?

I don't think celiac disease makes you more susceptible, but it is really hard to tell contamination from a virus. We thought our daughter had a stomach bug in March, but after having off and on vomitting with diarrhea for over a week, we realized it was contaimination. One of the moms in our support group helped me narrow it down to the vanilla extract in the Stoneyfield yogurt, it is made with grain alcohol.

Good luck, I know it is very frustrating.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
