flu shots are gluten free, but can make you feel as though you have gotten the flu. additionally, they have egg, which is of concern for those allergic to eggs.

I'll back that up. I got a flu shot Monday and suffered from a bit of nausea Monday night (thought NOT that bad) and over the next few days I had some fatigue and achy joints. Still better than having the flu, to me. Also, they offer them for free where I work and if it's safe, I take advantage! I can use the $25 I save to buy more gluten-free cookies :)

Some people here get the flu shot with no ill effects. But also, many here get the flu shot and have very bad reactions.

It's worth noting that the flu shot contains 25 micrograms of mercury--VERY bad news for anyone with a leaky gut, but bad for anyone, period.

Many people (including some doctors and researchers) believe that there is a strong link between vaccines and autoimmune disorders.

You might want to research:

www.nvic.org

www.putchildrenfirst.org

www.generationrescue.org

www.mercola.com

They all have accurate information. The last site also promotes and sells natural products, but you can just ignore all that and concentrate on the info (I HATE when they try to sell things!!!).

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
