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.

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or two everywhere he goes. I would go see an allergist as soon as possible as suggested.
    • Scott Adams
      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.
