This head cold/sinus disaster feels like the movie “Groundhog Day”. Each day I wake up hoping things will be different, and they are not. I finally cried “Uncle” and went to The Little Clinic. I was diagnosed with a raging sinus infection and sent on my way with some antibiotics. 3 days later, I think I am finally beginning to see a difference. I haven’t been this sick since I had H1N1 back in October 2009 and thought I just had a head cold. I have no energy and unfortunately my blog and house are suffering.
While I was surfing the net today I came across an article that really caught my eye – Asthma Linked to Celiac Disease. Wow. Jon was diagnosed with Asthma at 18 months old and Celiac Disease at 10 years old.
Those diagnosed with asthma were also more likely to eventually develop celiac disease, the authors report in the Journal of Allergy
and Clinical Immunology.
Anyone else have both? Were you diagnosed with Asthma or Celiac Disease first?
For now I will leave you with some links to some articles I wrote this week for Celiac-Disease.com. Sorry to be MIA all week. I hope to get back to normal blogging & posting next week.

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
interesting about the asthma/celiac info. I have celiac and am convinced my 8 year old son has it (even though his blood work came back fine) He has had asthma since he was a toddler, so this is convincing me even more that something is up!
Laura – Your son could still have Celiac even with negative blood work.
Hope you feel better soon! Don't forget to replenish the good bacteria in your gut with probiotics. Also, fyi: dairy intolerance has also been linked to asthma symptoms.
feel better soon!
