I am to young for this, not even hit middle age yet, but couple years ago I was diagnosed with heart condition. Its likly it been there most of my life, but unknown till a radom EKG was run on me with realtion to a differnet matter. I have what is known as a Left Bundle Branch Block. This means the nerve on the left side of my heart, the one responisble for beating the heart, is completely dead. The design of the heart has a way to compenstate for this by sending the beat signel down the right side nerve and having it jump to the left side via the muscles. If not for this design I would be dead. How ever, this "backup" method is not as effecitent as the normal way, so my heart pumps slightly out of beat, and somewhat signifigantly less blood then it should. My Cardio-doc says I may need a pacemaker down the road a bit. There is no known cuase for it in me that they could find at the time.

So I was wondering, is there a known celiac disease connection?

It's not an inherited condition? Were you born with it or did it develop later in life?

No one else in my family has it. And as far as we know I was born with a healthy heart. BUT heres the thing it only shows up in a EKG, or other heart scan (MUGA, Echocardiogram, etc). My first EKG at a docs offics was when it was discovered, so no way to know when it set in. I was 27 or 28 at the time.

All of my reading re: celiac disease links celiac disease with other digestive issues and hormonal (like thyroid and now pcos). I kinda doubt that there's a link, but then again, the more research done with regards to celiac disease and its effects the more pervasive it seems. But I'm leaning more towards another abnormality causing it. My mother has mytral valve prolapse, no one else in her generation or preceding generations have heart problems, but now it was discovered recently in my brother at age 44. And it's known that this kind of heart problem is inherited.

I also have mitral valve prolapse. This was not discovered until three years after the Celiac symptons started. I don't know of anyone in my family having this heart condition. I wonder if Celiac can affect the heart?

Well, there isn't a lot of research on celiac disease and heart disease, but there is some, and most of it seems to show higher rates of heart disease among celiac disease patients.

My husband had a five way bypass at 34 so I am so glad he decided to go gluten-free with me. I dont know if celiac caused this as he doesnt want to get tested he says its a waste of money.. :angry: but he is going gluten-free.

Interesting topic? <_<

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
