Celiac And Gerd

[StClair]

I am now three weeks post-gluten and enjoying some real improvements in my health. The migraines have almost disappeared, and the bloating is 90% better as long as I avoid sugar and dairy. Anxiety is also noticeably improved. What has not changed as quickly is the acid reflux pain that initially got me started on the road to the celiac diagnosis.

I realize now that three weeks is very early in the healing process and we need to be patient as the healing process continues. I'm just wondering how many other have, or had, GERD, and what the timeline of improvement is/was for you. After the migraines, it has been my worst symptom (maybe not counting the anxiety and osteoporosis, ha, ha). Also wondering if fellow Celiac/GERD sufferers are taking ppis, H2 blockers or lesser antacids.

Thanks all.

I was diagnosed with it when I was diagnosed with celiac. I was prescribed the PPIs but never took them. Instead when I would get that familiar discomfort I would take a dose of Pepto Bismal liquid. That would stop the pain within a very short time. I almost never needed a second dose. I still get the same pain if I accidentally consume soy. It's a fairly common intolerance for us celiacs to have so do note if soy containing foods aggravate the issue. Hope this problem resolves for you soon.

Good point on the soy. I'll try to dispense with it and see. Thanks.
