Yes it’s so much better and not nearly as painful.  However like today zero gluten and maybe I ate too much food but the acid reflux is bad.  Is it the over eating?  I apparently need to change up something.  I’ve been gluten free since 10-28-20.  I get the feeling of stuck food and have the burps like crazy.  Some advice would be welcome!

You may have another issue such as SIBO causing the acid reflux. Are you on any medication for the acid reflux? Have you made any dietary changes to address the reflux such as eliminating caffeine, tomatoes and citrus? Overeating and obesity can certainly contribute to acid reflux.

Also, I would suggest elevating the head of your bed.

I don't think that, if you have celiac disease, being gluten-free for only a couple of months is enough time to reverse your symptoms. When you say "like today zero gluten," I get the impression that you may not be strict enough with your diet. If you have celiac disease you need to be 100% gluten-free. Could you still be getting gluten in your diet?

After reading responses I appreciate the imput.  I am however 100% not eating gluten and have not since October 28.(I read labels very carefully and am not even eating Chinese food because of soy sauce we have not found gluten free as of yet but I am looking) I did not however realize that I could also have other digestion issues with certain foods.  I have been having issues apparently with lactose(after 2 bad bouts after consuming milk and ice cream was the latest) as well; so as of today the 6th of January, I am also going lactose free.  I have re-joined WW as I also need to lose the weight I had lost (regained some back) as that also is an issue with me (the overeating part)   I do realize this is not a quick process for me as I have had intolerence for over 15 years.  I am over 50 which also could mean this will take longer to completely heal.  I appreciate the great imput!  Thank you.

Some starting the gluten-free diet tips for the first 6 months:

Get tested before starting the gluten-free diet.
Get your vitamin/mineral levels tested also.
Don't eat in restaurants
Eat only whole foods not processed foods.  That means meats, veggies, eggs, nuts and fruit.
Eat only food you cook yourself, think simple foods, not gourmet meals.
Take probiotics.
Take gluten-free vitamins.
Take digestive enzymes.
Avoid dairy if it causes symptoms.
Avoid sugars and starchy foods. They can cause bloating.
Avoid alcohol.
Watch out for cross contamination.

Some lipsticks and lipbalms contains gluten. Facial powders could also be a culprit.
Or it could be traces of gluten. Some celiacs can't handle even an microscopic amount. I'm one of them. Glucose syrup, dextrose and maltodextrin can be made from wheat starch. Most celiacs can handle the tiny tiny amount of gluten that might be left, but some cannot.
Try to exclude all foods with those ingredients if it's not specified that it's made from corn.

I read that if you have a elevated certain type of anitbody level it may mean you're very sensitive to gluten

Many factors contribute to acid reflux. Some have been mentioned above by fellow friends, and I would like to add a few. I also have acid reflux but it is managed now. Acid reflux can be caused by certain healthy foods.

Fatty foods like fried foods and even avocado can trigger acid reflux because they take longer for the stomach to digest. If you eat healthy fats, please eat a moderate amount for the wellness of your stomach. 

Chocolates, especially dark ones are high in cocoa content. They relax the LES of the esophagus and promote acid reflux. Try to limit your intake of dark chocolate. 

Another food that relaxes your LES is mint.

Overeating is certainly a factor too.

Exactly. Elevating the head of the bed works wonders for people who have acid reflux mostly at night time. I experienced this myself.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Reintroduction of Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
