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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
