painful Acid Reflux

I have been gluten free for about a month now, but after one-week gluten free, I have been having really bad acid reflux. Zantac does nothing either. I always feel it in my chest and throat. Acid reflux has never been this bad before. Is it because I stopped eating gluten or something else?

I had a similar problem! I had occasional heart burn before but it was pretty bad for 2-3 weeks after the gluten-free diet started.  Celiac can caused gastric emptying issues. So, the food and acid stay in your stomach longer so easier to get heartburn. Also, I figured that unknowingly I was eating carb-containing foods when I was feeling slight heartburn (sort of self-treating). When I was eating bread etc, their was nothing in my diet to "absorb" the acid.

I took Prilosec OTC for 2 weeks and then stopped and it seemed to get better after that.

Hope you feel better soon.

I found taking a regime of ranidine gluten-free, Nexium, and drinking aloe vera juice seems to help.       NOTE there was some testing done with zantac brand where they were coming back with small amounts of gluten in the pills.

Also when my gut is upset I find eating only soft foods helps, Steaming veggies to mush, microwaving salads, cooking eggs, and baked goods super moist via covering them while they cook.  And blend anything hard first....I blend nuts and seeds into my egg whites before cooking or eat it in a butter form. Smoothies always work, or porridge, Just making it easier for the stuff to go though the stomach and gut.

Don't forget, it could be something else like EOE.

Yes, the acid reflux is doing better. Still having a few other issues like bloating, extreme hunger/cravings, and nausea.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
