Irregular Heartbeat

I got glutened the other day and have spent the last 2 days having very frequent PVC's (irregular heartbeats). My heart skips a beat and then thumps back. Could this be a symptom of glutening? I always thought I was having reflux, but now I have taken my pulse and my heart skips a beat when this happens. Has anyone else experienced this as a symptom?

My son used to have this. The cardiologist told my son that it was he was dehydrated, after having many tests done. After treating the dehydration he doesn't complain anymore. Hope this helps.

I think gluten can cause this but I wouldn't fool around with it. See a doctor.

I have had this issue for about the last 4 years now. I have seen a cardiologist - was told nothing dangerous, and put on Atenolol, which resolved the issue. Since having all my GI issues I stopped all medication and went gluten-free (mostly) 4 months ago. I didn't need the medication during almost all this time. I have noticed flare-ups lately, and I've done some experimenting with my diet, but i haven't yet traced them to gluten. It might be, but I've not been willing to try gluten again yet, so I can't tell yet if this is related or just coincidental. I have also noticed a somewhat elevated pulse - about 115 - around this time of experimentation, but this has gone down now to about 85.

This isn't much help, I know. I suspect these could be related, but I don't have enough to go on yet. I definitely have reflux issues, though, and they also seem to be induced by gluten, among other things, like spicy food and stress.

I'll be interested to see what others contribute.

Hmmmmm.......given the hives, I think I'm having an allergic reaction to an antibiotic I'm taking.

I used to get the same thing whenever I drank wine. I always thought wine made me ill, but I would always have it with bread, pasta, or some other gluten containing item. Since going gluten free I have not had a problem with wine or irregular heartbeats.

I also would get shortness of breath along with the irregular heartbeat. I asked my doc about it and told him the connection with red wine. He said to stop drinking red wine because it somewhat constricts the blood vessels.

The dehydration suggestion sounds about right as I get dehydration very badly when glutened, so drinking the wine along with the bread would probably even make it worse.

I'd still talk to your doc about it.

I get them as well as my mother. My doctor said the main contributing factor to PVCs is caffeine. Cut down on the caffeine and they will mostly go away. I have not been able to eat anything with caffeine in it for about 4 months now and I only had it once in the very beginning. My doctor said that is I had them with more frequency (I was getting them like once or twice a week) he would put me on medication. It is always good to check it out as it could be something else as well.

I've heard too that getting glutened can result in anxiety - maybe the elevated heartbeats are a result of this? I know when I get glutened, my pulse goes up, even though I don't feel like I'm necessarily anxious...just a thought.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
