<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi! Over 30 people responded to my survey asking if flu symptoms were common in accidental gluten ingestion! Well, overwelmingly yes! At least 75% responded with classic flu symptoms with varying degrees of intensity expressed (although no "minor" reactions). This was true even if GF for a long period of time. Several people indicated that cold medicines (such as Nyquil) helped alleviate symptoms! 14% responded with more classic celiac diagnostic symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.) and the remainder were basically isolated cases of varying symptoms (e.g., fatigue, migranes) or none. Thanks to all! I guess the silver lining is that those of us who get such reactions need to be thankful we have the opportunity to analyze our eating habits and make changes! All I know is I won't be eating turkey anytime soon!! Best Regards, Janet * Visit the Celiac Web Page at www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/index.html *
