I found this website that seems to indicate people with celiac are not immunocompromised and are not at higher risk for covid-19. Our immune systems are over-reactive in response to gluten (reacting when it shouldn't), but we do not have suppressed immune systems. It makes some sense to me. Celiac...

My B12 was very low. I've been on injections for over a month and I am just starting to feel better.

Celiac and Sinus/ear problems?

The biopsy would need to come from your small intestine. That's where the damage is done from celiac. But you need to be on a gluten diet for the tests to be accurate.

Thanks Fenrir! At first I thought it was just a cold but it's been like this for 3 months... and since it started at the same time as my other symptoms I figured it was related to the celiac. I suspect the gluten must be causing a bunch of inflammation or something. -
I've taken it recently for about 3 weeks due to what my doctor thought was excess stomach acid. It didn't really work for me (though I suspect my problem was actually low stomach acid). I had one night of really bad diarrhea and stomach pains during the time I was on it - but not sure if that was...
