Celiac & Gerd?

Hello,

I was dx with celiac 3 years ago, and have done well on the diet. However, I suddenly have developed reflux symptoms, seemingly out of the blue. I have read that GERD often goes with celiac, but has anyone ever developed it fairly suddenly?

Thanks, Dinah

About 4 years after my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac, she developed severe GERD symptoms. She was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis. EE was just given a standardized medical code in October 2008. We will have to wait and see if it will be proven to have a correlation to Celiac. It seems there are a lot of diagnoses and complaints of GERD along with Celiac and other issues. (i.e. Barrett's Esophagas) My opinion, an auto-immune response to gluten causes damage and it may be happening before the gluten is in the small intestine. I would consult a specialist and determine any treatment plan for the GERD symptoms.

I only had it before not after. If I have any symptoms start to creep up, I know I've eaten something I'm sensitive too, like too many complex carbs.

My son developed GERD suddenly. That is how he was diagnosed with celiac. Now it has come back because he started running. We are going to make some changes to his diet to see if we can get rid of it again.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
