After my Dx i started to get this burning/acid churning going on in my stomach. I never had a problem before with acid or reflux...it all started after i went gluten-free, anyone have this problem too?!!?

Im taking prilosec for it now which helps but I wonder why this happend in the first place....i thought it could be due to the diet, even my GI was baffeled, but he doesnt think it related to the celiac... i thought things were supposed to get better, whats going on here? :unsure:

Yes--I never was troubled with reflux before. I've been gluten-free since last June and started having the reflux/gas/burning in December.

My GI, as he was closing my folder and heading towards the door, told me it was gas in my upper abdomen and to take Phazyme. I asked my GP the last time I was in and she nodded in agreement and said Phazyme is what she would suggest, too. So, there ya go--I won't be much help. :D But I would also be interested in what others have to add.

I've had the annoyance of which you speak for a long time. Just one in a laundry list of symptoms that I chalk up to celiac. I get it from stress, usually. Not really from foods, unless I've been glutened.

Tums, prilosec, tagamet, tylenol, tibetian chanting under a full moon on a tuesday when the planets aligned ( :rolleyes: )...nothing seemed to help.

I sleep on a pyramid of pillows (I don't think I need it now, but it's habit), and I take antispasmodics (I use bentyl as needed) when it flares up.

I don't get it as much since going gluten-free, so I'm not much help for you. Has your dr ever given you antispasmodics?

My doctor did give me antispasmotics--I have Neulev and Pamene. I thought those were for the D type cramping?

Moongirl--it does help a little bit--kind of gets the gas moving.

I didn't do well on the Levsin, that's why I have the Bentyl. I think it works better and faster, too. My dr originally gave it to me to yes, stop the D cramping, but also to stop the digesting-glass pain in my actual stomach. It was a nice (and effective) change from the narcotics the dr would thow at me.

It was a clue to the dr when the bentyl didn't stop the daily D.

Now I'm on it as needed instead of the originally presrcibed 4x per day, every day. I only take it a few times a week, and usually only if I've been glutened!

Geesh--shouldn't be surprised the doctor didn't tell me I could use the antispaz. for this <_< . Thanks!

I only get the burning sensation after eating gluten. After eating gluten for a year from a gluten challege my stomach lining was raw. Dr said it is from excess stomach acid that is produced due to sensitivity/allergy. I have a wheat allergy as well as gluten sensitivity. Once I stopped gluten the burning went away in a week. When I accidentially eat gluten it comes back the next day.

I've had this burning stomach and nausea since February. I've been gluten-free since Sept. 2004. The same thing happened to me last year around the same time, and it lasted for several months. My dr. doesn't think it['s related to celiac, but after several tests, he says he really doesn't know. I'm taking Zantac 150, but it doesn't help much. I never had this problem until I went gluten-free! It's a mystery.

I have a large Hiatal Hernia as well as gastritis which is the cause of my burning and reflux.

I take Prilosec twice a day, morning and night...that seems to really help. Also sometimes a zantac when in real need.

Lisa,

I've tried Prilosec, but it gives me a giant headache. Also, I've read that once you start using the PPIs, that you can't stop. I feel like Zantac is an "old" medicine, with not so many side effects.

I have had the same burning, sharp pain in the stomach for quite a while (years) but it did seem to get worse after going gluten-free in January. It didn't stop until a couple of weeks ago when I got my last test results back and found out I was casein intolerant. I never was a milk drinker and thought I was lactose intolerant, so I ate cheese. (LOVED cheese, sniff) Well, I stopped all dairy now and I have to say, with the exception of an accidental gluten incident (still learning), the acid/pain/gas/nausea has stopped. I sincerely hope that my giving up cheese will help others 'cause it has helped me, but oh, do I miss it!!! Try going completely dairy free and see if it helps you. Just a thought :)

For me, stomach burning has always been the indication that I've eaten something that disagrees with me. It stopped for a couple of weeks when I went gluten-free then resurfaced. For me, it's a good indicator of me being intolerant to something. Like Robbin, cheese was also a problem for me. I too have never liked milk - have always known I can't 'stomach' it and remember mum thinking I was being fussy about milk as a child - but I adore cheese, so miss it loads too :( However, it's worth it to feel better :)

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: 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.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
