Uncontrollable acid reflux

I was diagnosed 5 years ago, and like many on here my primary symptom was severe acid reflux.  

I have been diligently gluten free since diagnosis and i have removed all foods i can think as triggers... eggs, dairy, cucumber, tomatoes, fatty foods.... etc .  I am currently taking 40mg tecta 2xdaily with up to 12 Gaviscon tablets daily to control breakthroughs.. 

i dont smoke, rarely drink, exercise daily ... im a few lbs overweight but currently working on losing the last bit. Maybe 15 lbs over the bmi . 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else i can do? I would really love to sleep a full night without waking up to acid.  Lol.  Also, i dont get any heart burn with it. ?‍♀️

I stop eating at 5 p.m. and take Acid Sooth right before bedtime, around 11 p.m.

I messed up my stomach as a kid almost ODing on energy drinks to the point of vomiting blood. Ever since then I always would be burping up acid, or having it just come up in my mouth making me spit it up...at night I would just hack it up. Seems the pumps would never turn off, doctors but me on a crazy regiment of Nexium and Ranidine. It does have some other issues I think it has cause, but If I get off of them the problem returns. But I take both twice a day before breakfast and dinner. Been on this since around 15 years.

Is your celiac disease active?   When was the last time your antibodies were measured?  Maybe it is time for another endoscopy.  It might not be celiac related at all.   

My celiac disease is not active.  A recent endoscopy revealed healed villi, but biopsies revealed autoimmune gastritis (AG).  That was the cause of my acid reflux.  It was a relief to know I was doing well in the gluten-free diet.  

When my AG acts up, I sleep elevated and avoid all food hours prior to bedtime.

Anne01,

See this thread.

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/122303-extreme-bloat-help/

try taking some BetaineHCL (powdered stomach acid) of 4 or 5 capsules with a meal and be sure to drink at least a couple glasses of water/tea which ever you prefer.

Water activates the BetaineHCL. .... so more is better. 

Never take BetaineHCL on an empty stomach because it could cause burning.

Never take it without drinking water because water helps it work properly.

if this helps then you have low stomach acid being misdiagnosed.

Here is my story.

good luck on your continued journey.

I hope it helps I only know it helped me.

This is not medical advice but I hope it is helpful.

2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is 85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the a...

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked...

      Advice please

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m se...

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me ...

Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
