Did anyone start off with GERD like symptoms and upper stomach pains before being diagnosed with Celiac?

Yes, I.  And I believe it's common.  And when I get glutened, I get digestive issues in both directions. :huh:

I have not been diagnosed with celiac, but I have a problem with gluten. When I had my endoscopy they found I had a hiatal hernia and GERD... So I think gluten intolerance and GERD are tied together a lot.

I have been Gluten Free for a year with only a few mishaps, now after a bad mistake, I have had C-Diff and what looks like GERD, not sure yet, they have not gone over the biopsies with me, I am just reading their report and everything I am reading, reads like GERD to me.  I will know after they go over the biopsy results with me, they took four samples out me. The mishap was 8 weeks ago, 8 weeks to heal, and I am still suffering a side effect.  Grade 2 Esophagiti; Erythema, Congestion, and petechie in the Stomach and Fundus, Gastritis; Erythema, congestion and atrophic appearance in the antrum; Erythema in the distal bulb and proximal second part of the duodenum, mild duodentitis.  Forgot my Gastric PH 1?  How is that possible?

 

That covers the gastric, the esophagus and the reflux and the disease.  GERD.  But, I could be wrong as I have never read  of these before or gone through this before and this past year has been all about learning all of these new things about my body.  Are we having fun yet?

 

I hope everyone can read through my dry humor when I put it in there.  I sometimes get frustrated and have to laugh it all.

I think I have GERD as my saliva is always thick white and foamy, I am taking PPI's but to no avail.  My first symptoms were strange sensations in my arms and legs, insomnia, and a constant dull ache in the upper stomach.  I then started to feel depressed and just wanted to cry for no reason, I also became very jumpy and did not want to go places alone.  the strange bowel movements happened nest, lots of undigested food matter, followed by constipation and then oil slicks/greasy stool.  My urine as also been off and my joints crack a lot more, the fatigue also started around the depression time.

It is like something as taken over my body.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
