I am actually feeling so much better then i have ever felt in a long time. Yes i have my bad days when i miss up and get cc, but for the most part i feel awesome. Even today my mom was telling me it is so nice that i go out and do things as a family. I never noticed how i had been staying away from functions due to not knowing what was wrong with me. But now in the last 3 weeks, we have gone to 4 functions and i have not had to leave, or gotten sick or anything.

Its funny you have no idea how bad you are until you are feeing better. I just thought i was normail from having 4 kids in 5 years, and that is why i was tired. But not no more.

I am so glad i found out i was celiac and know how to get better. I know it wont be long til i am feeling like i did in college, i think that is when i felt my best lol.

I just wanted to let everyone know that is just starting on this journey that things will get better and it is so worth giving up gluten filled foods. I had to give up gluten, casein, beans and soy to feel as good as I do, but it is so worth it.

Paula,

Congratulations to you! It's great you are seeing such a huge change. I am about one year in and, although it still is up and down for me, I feel so much better, too. I have had to be gluten, soy, corn, legume and mostly dairy-free, though. I hope you continue feeling better!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
