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? <_<

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
