I don't know that any vaccinations are risky for celiacs. I am looking into getting the shingles vaccine.

Is there a reason you suspect that it might be risky?

I understand that people with compromised auto immune systems should not take innoculations with a live virus> Does this also mean celiacs?

I am not aware of any reason why persons with celiac disease should be any more concerned than the general population. The term compromised, with respect to the immune system, does not refer to celiac disease. It refers to people who are immunodeficient. HIV is one example.

Also, people who take the biologic TNF-inhibitors such as Humira and Enbrel should not be given any live vaccine, which I understand shingles vaccine is. The TNF inhibitors suppress the immune system.

What Peter said. I've never heard any of the experts warning people with celiac not to get a vaccine.

      Have you tried a diet with a lower carb, higher fat content, something similar to the Keto diet? Are you familiar with the ketogenic diet? Fat satisfies and so curbs hunger and levels out blood sugar.

      I've was diagnosed celiac over 10 years ago when in mid 50s. For a long time I have been getting headaches at night and in the morning and I suffer a lot of insomnia. The headaches can be very severe and sometimes develop into a full migraine but other times they wear off within an hour of getting up and eating breakfast. I have self diagnosed this a hypoglycaemia...

      False reading as of right now

      But that's the point Scott is trying to make. It is up to you. You do not have to go forward with another biopsy simply because your doctor wants you to. They work for you, not the other way around.

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      Hi Kate, I am unsure if this is helpful or not. I have Webber calcium citrate everyday. I also react to less than 20 ppm of gluten. I have not reacted to Webber ever. (Fingers crossed it stays that way). Also, I get my blood tested every 6 months to ensure I have zero gluten exposure. It consistently comes back negative(0) to gluten. A few...

      Honestly that's a good question, but I would like an official answer since I'm not a professional and my doctor's in my opinion no offense to them I'd say gone about it in a unprofessional way unless other's have been told to go gluten free, get a biopsy, just to go back gluten due to a possible false reading and then gotta go back for another biopsy But...

      I've was diagnosed celiac over 10 years ago when in mid 50s.  For a long time I have been getting headaches at night and in the morning and I suffer a lot of insomnia.  The headaches can be very severe and sometimes develop into a full migraine but other times they wear off within an hour of getting up and eating breakfast.  I have self diagnosed this a hypoglycaemia.  The medical profession in UK, where I live, does not seem to know anything of this and simply tests me for diabetes, which I do not have.  I know this condition is diet related and caused by carbohydrates, I avoid eating in the evenings.  Whatever I do, this condition seems to be getting worse and is very difficult to control.  Any advice would be much appreciated.
