Long COVID and gluten sensitivity

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Celiac disease is a serious matter and not the more frequent gluten intolerance that is so prevalent today. You are entirely correct about my case probably being related to chemicals in the wheat. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 1984 and I suddenly became reactive to all kinds of chemicals that had never bothered me before. We had our home treated for fleas with chlorpyrifos right before I became sick. I think the ME/CFS made me more vulnerable to developing Long Covid after having Covid twice in the same year. The symptoms of LC have been much more serious: A-fib and high blood pressure; hearing loss and eye involvement along with balance and walking problems.

ME/CFS would be physically and emotionally hard, navigating how much one can exert oneself and diet. I hope you have a good support network. I have a few autoimmune diseases, and damage from MGUS or long covid (LC). Still some PEM fatigue from LC. I'm also sensitive to legumes, NSAIDs and other meds, some chemicals in processed foods, and wood dust/sap (woodworking). This getting older is not for wimps. I had PT for neuropathy balance problems; it helped some but only when my eyes are open. So much more interesting learning about afflictions than it is collecting them.
