Hi, I am new to this forum, just going through many tests to figure out symptoms that go from feed to gallbladder low ejection to heart palpitations... list goes on and on... I don't feel myself... I just want to ask if anyone knows or experienced heart palpitations or other heart problems due to gluten intolerance. My ECG always shows that I am having anterior infarct and it's been a year since  and no doctor can figure it out. Any ideas please! Thank you very much!

Celiac disease can affect many parts  of the body.  There are over 200 known symptoms, but unfortunately they can overlap with many other AI issues or other illnesses.  Best to get tested.  Keep eating gluten and ask your doctor for a celiac blood test.  Learn more:

To answer your question, I had a non-functioning gallbladder (0% injection rate).  If I had been diagnosed sooner, it might have been prevented (I think).  Others here have had heart issues.  Again, best to get tested.  

I wish you well.

Hi! I've had heart palpitations. They're very scary, so I understand.  Get your vitamin D, B12 and folate levels checked.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Deficiencies in certain vitamins can have an impact on how your organs function.

Yes, I had many years of palpitations, missed beats etc. as well as very intense chest pains which closely match those of a heart attack. I had several ECG's in hospital ER, wore a 24 hr trace, had cardiac sonography and none of it showed up anything. When I removed gluten it cleared up, although if I've slipped up ever I'll get the palpitations back. 

There's a couple of links in this post which may be of help as they list some of the symptoms that are associated with celiac/gluten sensitivity. As CL says, don't remove gluten till you've been tested, that can make it so much harder to get a diagnosis. 

Best of luck!

Yes! Always had heart palpitations, wore a 24hr monitor once and was on high blood pressure meds for 10 years. (Starting at age 27!?)

Test results non-conclusive. 

Had no idea it was related to Celiac but it all went away after I went gluten-free. 

Never bothered to tell anyone but my husband. ( A cardiologist would just roll his or her eyes.)  I take vitamin D and b12 now. 

Good luck!!

      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.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
