Hi all - Wondering if heavniess in breathing can be related to celiac disease? It happens sporadically and is not related to exercise. I can be sitting reading the paper and I can start breathing like I just ran a marathon. My doctor thinks it is just related to anxiety (which I do suffer from) but it is happening without the other symptoms of anxiety. Any ideas?

Hi,

I am a real newbie, but i get this. I have anemia, so i am finding it hard to breathe. Maybe your doctor could check your full blood count.

Good luck.

I have the same problem as you and was told it was anxiety which it partially is but it also has to do with my acid reflux so maybe check that!

Norah and Claire - Thank you both for your input. Acid reflux huh.....I was prescribed pantoloc (sp?) and I don't really know what it is for except that it is related to stomach problems...therefore have not taken it yet.....hate taking medications. Perhaps I should do a little research on it....thank you for your time.

Hi Noel,

I've had breathing issues since before going gluten-free. I was severly anemic, and that can cause shortness of breath. Even after the anemia was resolved, I still found that I needed to breathe deeply many times a day and I would also sometimes feel out of breath.

I saw an allergist who said that my reflux was causing bronchial spasms. I had never heard that before, as I only began to get reflux after going gluten-free. Anyway, I went on Prevacid for about 3 weeks, and stopped because of side effects.

At the time, I also cut out legumes, which were the last of the many foods I eliminated. This cleared the reflux, and my breathing has been much better. I still get out of breath, but it's much less frequent.

PPI=Proton pump inhibitor, medications used to treat reflux, ulcers, etc. such as Prevacid. :)

I was just put on Aciphex which has limited side effects..in fact the only one they have found is headaches and they rarely happen. I have only been on it since Thursday and am seeing no improvement but I am hoping it is coming!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
