Anyone Deal With Gastritis?

I was having severe heartburn which progressed to nausea etc. I eliminated coffee and citrus based drinks which resolved the problem. Recently I started eating Kettle brand Salt & Vinegar chips. They add citric acid and now I am dealing with stomach pain and nausea again. I was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago and on my endoscopy they saw moderate gastritis with evidence of old blood. Is this related to the celiac disease? I was tested for H. Pylori and that was negative.

You and I sound very similar--moderate gastritis, acute and chronic esophagitis, no h pylori. Gastritis and Acid Reflux symptoms, and no relief from PPIs, are what eventually led me to my Celiac diagnosis. When I asked my doctor at diagnosis whether Celiac had anything to do with this condition she said, "It has everything to do with it." Since then I have found plenty of internet evidence to back this up.

I strongly suggest that anyone with these problems check out the book Dropping Acid: The Acid Reflux Diet, by Koufman. I know the last thing we all want is further restrictions to our already restricted diets, but if there is a way to accelerate the healing of these painful conditions, it has been worth it to me.

Hope you feel better soon. Probably Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips is the worst thing you could possibly imagine to eat! If you stay off things like that, maybe that will be all your system needs to keep healing on the gluten free.

Thank you. PPI's didn't help me either. I am eliminating the chips, kinda bummed about that. They are certified gluten-free, but the citrus just doesn't agree with me. I've had to eliminate nightshades, coffee, and citrus to stop the gastritis symptoms.

My gastritis didn't stop until I eliminated tea -- especially hot tea. I'm not sure why the hot bothers me worse than the iced tea, but it does. I also have problems with coffee.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By RMJ · Posted

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      Thank you @Scott Adams and @trents this is very helpful, and I think I have some solid ideas to bring to my doctor (corticosteroids, testing for chron’s, increasingly strict gluten-free diet)  @RMJ thank you this is definitely reassuring as well, I’m feeling frustrated and hopeless because I have gone through a similar progression of increasing strictness, and am now at a level similar to what you describe, but have not seen any changes in my blood results. I am now thinking to cut out processed foods altogether maybe with the help of a dietician? I’m also worried about cross contamination from the tables or microwave at my work (there is often free pizza and such sitting). It just feels so restrictive to not see or feel any results

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the Tribe!   Take the Celiac diagnosis and run with it! P.S.  Yes, adopting a gluten free diet is a big mental adjustment.  Many go through the five stages of grief.  Many are relieved to have a definitive diagnosis instead of being a walking medical mystery.    The forum here can help with lots of articles and years of experience to get you started on your Celiac journey.  Best wishes!

      This was the advice from the GI physician:  "We discussed that your work-up is equivocal for celiac disease due to discordant serologies and biopsy results. As we discussed the gliadin DGP Ab IgA has a lower sensitivity (87%) and specificity (80-95%) for celiac disease compared to tissue transglutaminase Ag IgA (sensitivity of 95%, specificity of >95%, which you tested negative for). Your duodenal biopsies were normal; though in mild cases of celiac disease, affected areas can be patchy. While about 90% of individuals with celiac disease carry the HLA-DQ2 allele, many people in the general population also carry this allele without developing celiac disease.  In the context of some of your symptoms of GI upset, it's possible that you may have either irritable bowel syndrome, gluten intolerance, or a very mild case of celiac disease. As we discussed, sometimes we can attempt a high gluten diet for 6-12 weeks with a repeat EGD and biopsies. Or, you can treat this as if you had celiac disease by being gluten free and see if it helps with some of your other GI symptoms. We decided to take the second approach. In patients with celiac disease, we do monitor vitamin levels every year. We would also get a DXA scan to screen for osteoporosis. I have ordered these studies for this year; subsequent checks can be done via your primary care doctor's office."
