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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
