Thank you so much for sharing. We have been doing gluten free as much as we can and he is significantly better. This weekend we were away for my daughters soccer tournament so are in restaurants and even though we avoided the easy stuff like bread etc I believe he had gluten somewhere significant and he crashed.

He also seems to get wheezing and dry cough in addition to fatigue when he has a lot of gluten. We have seen a naturopath and did some allergy sensitivity testing. He is also milk intolerant and intolerant to egg whites but gluten / wheat was more severe. M

I will keep working on this. Just happy to see that I am not imagining things..... and the link to Covid infection triggering all this could be true. Sometimes I feel we are imagining things.....😢

It takes a year or two to figure out what and where is safe to eat, or not. It takes time to get used to reading every ingredient. I tell the servers and chefs that I have celiac, and if it doesn't feel safe I don't eat (I always carry protein bars). If servers use the same utensils for a pot of wheat as gluten free pasta, that is enough for a reaction. Using the same pizza cutter as well. Some cities have celiac/gluten intolerance clubs that include kids/teens. It is nice to be able to eat out with others and not be afraid of getting sick. Gluten intolerance/celiac can be as hard emotionally as physically.
