I'm still having testing done on my heart and I go back to the cardiologist on Wed for an echocardiogram and holter montior. BUT, today I saw my pulmonary Dr. and my ashtma is completely 100% better! She took me off the steroid inhaler because I already have osteopenia and because it could be contributing to the arrythmyia of the heart. My chest Xray was completely normal (chest xray in 2012 showed acute adult onset ashtma with hyperinflated lungs and flattened diaphram). She, like my GP and GI dr's, agree that gluten was the trigger to my moderate persistent asthma.

 

So at least I'm seeing healing in some areas! Now to figure out my heart

Congrats! That's great news!

I have asthma, too. It would be terrific to see it improve as time goes on.

I hope you get the heart stuff sorted out soon. That's got to be scary stuff.

Congrats!  :D That's great!

 

My oldest son's mild asthma completely cleared up over the last year of being gluten-free too... Wheat is just evil. :ph34r:

Huge weight! I was admitted in July for a severe attack and have been on numerous rounds of prednisone and had shots of prednisone. It was very hard to control.....we now know why. I never want to see prednisone again! I hope I never do

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
