This is a great concern of mine, especially since my daughter had an episode of hypotonic shock after her DTaP vaccine. I have read that a particular protein in it (perlactin?) is very similar to gluten and the body could react the same...we are not vaccinating anymore. My daughter got sick after her last vaccine (Hib in Dec) and started throwing up frequently after that, which led to the discovery of celiac. In my mind, I know they are connected for my child.

Me too. Also if our body is supposed to tell us whats wrong, doesn't getting sick after a shot tell us the same thing. Our body is rejecting the foreign invader. Same like food poisoning. & ...Tummy troubles after gluten. ETC.

Our body is rejecting the foreign invader.

That is the whole idea behind a vaccine. It introduces the body to the "invader" at a low level so the system can learn to defend against it before a threatening level arrives. If it does, the system knows how to respond and can fight it before it takes hold.

Allergy shots work on a similar principle. A small amount of the allergen is repeatedly introduced, in slowly increasing levels, and the immune system learns to accept it.

The question is really how much exposure is too much, and should multiple challenges be introduced at the same time? It should be sufficient to condition the immune response, but not so much that sickness results. Each human is different, and reactions vary somewhat from person to person.

there are a few things that I have against vaccines

1 being that we are bombarding a tiny child with numerous foreign things all at once and

2 being that when a virus normally gets into your body it has to go through so many parts of your immune system BEFORE it gets into your blood stream (which is where serious problems from the virus can occur) when you get a vaccine you are bypassing all of your bodies immune system safeguards and putting the threat directly where your body would be trying to keep it out of!!

talk to your naturopath about nosodes they are supposed to be way more effective than vaccines and from what my naturopath says you can take them AFTER you have been exposed and start having symptoms. they have even been known to REVERSE autism caused by vaccines

www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/autism.htm I still think man is messing with our bodies, trying to improve them, while children are the guinea pigs, the result of man's work is shown in this web site.

I am all for most vaccines, but I know there is something in vaccines that my son reacts to. He got his first and only flu shot when he was 8 months old and exactly 24 hours later he broke out in horrible hives. He does not have a problem with eggs and we never really figured out what happened. Obviously, he will never get another flu shot. The doctors think that it may have different preservatives in it because flu shots are not intended to have a long self life.

After a couple of his shots, including his last MMR, he broke out in a red splotchy rash all over his body that starts to fade after 20 minutes.

There is something going on, and I think this topic needs to be explored in depth.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
