Does any one know if there is gluten in vaccines? There is egg! Be careful! Search these out:

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.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
