My daughter has Celiac and has been gluten free for 1 year and 9 months. I saw a post on here about weak immune systems. I have a similar question but different. My daughter does get sick much less often now that she is gluten free but the problem is that when she does get sick she can not get better very easily, I think her Celiac is somehow related but do not know how. Her problem is whatever the sickness is if it makes her start throwing up she can not stop and ends up in the hospital getting fluids for dehydration. Everytime this has happened she has had to be admitted to get over it. Twice they have give her a liter of fluids and some nausea meds and sent her home and it never worked. we were always back the next day. Anyone else have any similar problems or know what we can do about this. Thank you

I do have problems knocking out viruses. I am hoping that continously getting the right nutrients and probiotics will help recovery and eventually help the immune system recover. I hope you will have success in overcoming it. Sorry you both have to go through this and I hope it will be better soon.

I wonder if this will keep happening until we get our B and D vitamins and other nutrients up to where they should be. I just had the flu and it has last more than two weeks. Never in my life has the flu lasted that long or been so bad! So I do think our immune systems take time to get back to normal.

There has been some research showing celiacs are more likely to be hospitalized with the flu: Open Original Shared Link

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Vitamin D acts as a hormone and influences other hormones if the Vitamin D level is at eighty nmol/l or above.   I had a lot of hormone problems when my Vitamin D was in single digits prior to diagnosis of celiac disease.  Vitamin D is needed to keep bones strong and helps regulate the immune system, lowering inflammation.   I used high dose Vitamin D 3 to correct my deficiency quickly.  It's very safe and recommended by doctors.  Take Vitamin D 3, not the D 2 form prescribed frequently.  D2 is not utilized as well as D 3.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D in the body.   Interesting Reading: Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ The short-term effect of high dose vitamin D3 supplementation in improving hypovitaminosis in patients with type 2 diabetes - A randomized clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ The role of vitamin D in menopausal women’s health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10291614/#:~:text=Vitamin D (VD) is known,menopause are also increasingly prominent.

      Yes my main goal is to  eat a guarantee  gluten free food but unfortunately I am in A very difficult situation I try to never eat gluten even if I am gonna stay hungry.i am living in the UAE with my aunt and her kids , husband and my grandma and uncle big in a small apartment,my mom is in Sudan due to her work so we can afford education here . I am now studying hard so I can get a scholarship somewhere else ,I can't work until I am 18 and basically I have no other income for me as I am still not 18 , so my mom send me an allowance every month and i buy gluten-free protein powders,nuts , dates and things i can hide and eat when I am hungry .I recently got an iron infusion and my blood tests where very bad low urea low creatine and many other deficiencies.my main priority is to stay gluten free for 3 months and then start taking vitamins,( I take oral iron every other day because the IV made my iron in the normal range but not enough I still feel dizziness and fatigue.I just want people to recommend for me things I can eat or vitamins that are easily absorbed when I need them quickly .

      Thanks for explaining your situation in more detail. You are in a difficult place it seems, not having the control you need over what you eat. What are the possibilities in the foreseeable future of you finding another living situation where you have more control over your diet? You are seventeen so soon you will be an adult. What is in your future? Education? Employment. I can see now that your main impediment to health and healing is not vitamins and supplements but being able to consistently eat gluten free.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Two thoughts: 1. What if the testing turns out negative? That won't rule out the development of active celiac disease later in life. You may have NCGS now which will transition in to celiac later on. 2. Your plan implies dishonesty in hiding it from your doctor and your insurance company.

      Thank you for your response. I'd love to read more about your suggestion, everything I find online speaks to the opposite. Unfortunately I need the HRT due to many other factors (post menopause symptoms and osteoporosis) so stopping the estrogen would be very unfortunate. Vitamin D is pretty good, not great, but now below the norm at 36
