has any idea who I am...and all seem so caring here, I'd like to let you all know, I've been diagnosed Celiac through the blood test, the gastro, who was in anyway to do a bile duct snip, didn't bother to do the exam I asked for...so I just tried the diet, only to find that when I was exposed, those old joint pains and swellings, and constipation returned ten fold!

A year later, I had my daughter tested, from 6 up she took Ballet classes, and had such an extended tummy, thin hair, nails...I asked the HMO Doc. for a blood test. Negative...she decided to try the Gluten Free Diet and found her intestinal system to work much better, and the bloating of her stomach to go down significantly.

So we both have been on a Gluten Free diet for years now. I was just reading about co-enzyme B vitimans..I've taken my B100's for years, gluten-free just by chance (for so long I'd see that on the bottle and wonder) I think I may switch myself and get my daughter, who I've recently been working with her to take B complex..she has anxiety problems and such that I thought it may help..from what I've read here, all of you have confirmed my concerns...Thank You...Wish I'd known how to use a live stream before, I'd been here years ago...been going it alone for so long. Thanks To All for All your Wonderful Information!!! Dawnw007

I Thank each and everyone, So Much, for all the kind replys! This is the definition of what community truly can be!!! If all the world were so accepting and kind, it would be a better place, yet this sort of kindness starts in the the most surprising places, like here. I feel it is hard to find true community of any kind on line, here I see it every day! It is important to acknowledge the kindnesses we receive and give in life. They are a lot of what keeps us going day to day, knowing we have our sometimes few, yet every one makes a difference, True Communities in this fast changing society!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. 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...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      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.
