I wanted to check back up on you, didn’t see your comment till now , how are you doing??

Did you personally experience gastritis and feel it was related to celiac and got better on a gluten free diet? 

Hello Lyns5201 

How are you doing I'm doing good as long as I stay away from gluten and latex food I should be good

I started getting relief the first month I was gluten-free, which was about 6 weeks prior to my celiac diagnosis and yes, my blood antigen tests were positive even with the gluten-free diet.  Once I was diagnosed, I tapered off the gastro meds.  I've taken them all and was taking prescription level doses of both lansoprazol and pepcid (which is basically twice the dose recommended on the bottle) with tums for the break throughs every night.  I got off them all with no ill affect.  I have had two reflux episodes in the last 6 months, both following suspected gluten intake (I just had to eat those french fries, not thinking the oil was contaminated by the gluten from the breading on the fried chicken, and forgetting to tell the waiter I couldn't handle the gravy).  I can now tell when I have gluten because I get gall bladder type pain and a headache, luckily no reflux. I am now able to eat tomato sauce and drink red wine, which used to be triggers for reflux,   I even got rid of the wedge I was sleeping on.  I used to have headaches every day, but they are rare now.  But you really need to look for a gastroenterologist who treats celiac patients.  They understand, while other gastro specialists are focused on ulcers and cancer and surgical solutions.  You need one who understands the role of nutrition and one who knows how to do small intestine endoscopy with biopsies.  My old gastro treated me for over 10 years with pills and never tested me for celiac and I didn't get any better.  My new gastro says it may take up to 2 years to eliminate the effects of gluten on your system, but my symptoms seem to have resolved much sooner.

Did you ever get pain from the gastritis though ?I will have a burning or hot sensation  in my stomach even eating things gluten free from my gastritis ...don’t know if it’s from having the celiac and being untreated a while.

What reactions do you get if you eat latex foods like fruits or avocados ?what about soy does that bother you at all? I don’t remember if you’d said you’ve suffered from gastritis or not ?
