Does anyone know of any relationship between celiac disease and globus sensation?

Thanks in advance.

Yes please, it's something that I've never heard of either. Would like to know.

i googled it out of curiousity. it's associated with GERD, and a lot of people on here have GERD, but i am not sure it's related.

Globus sensation is a sensation one gets in the throat that the throat is restricted and is thought to be related to stress more than GERD. I'm not sure that they know much about it actually - it feels as though a muscle in your throat is having a spasm.

I had this while pregnant and nursing with my first son 7 years ago. It was very annoying. I would describe it as a choked up feeling like you get when you are going to cry or something like that. I thought mine was hormonal or my thyroid was swollen. THat is what it felt like. I thankfully haven't had it since. I don't think mine was related to GERD, but the past year I have had symptoms of reflux.

Hmmm... maybe this would apply: Open Original Shared Link

Symptoms include choking spells or swallowing difficulties, chest or upper abdominal pain, heartburn not relieved by acid blocker medications, and bouts of vomiting refusal to eat. It is caused allergy blood cells called eosinophils that are not normally present in the esophagus with the exception of relatively few numbers in the lower esophagus in the setting of acid reflux invading the lining of the esophagus or feeding tube, often as a result of food and/or inhaled pollen allergies.

Ahhhhhhhh now I know what you mean. It is connected with GERD, but the acid effects the essophogus (sp) and that is what is going into spasm. Sometimes you can't even breath! Not nice.

Im being treated with Periet and Domperidone. (also know as Motility). The Domperidone needs to be taken about 1/2 hour before eating three times a day. the Periet is taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

It helps, but depending on the severity of your problem, may not elliminate it completely. You also need to raise the head of your bed by about 6 inches, and never bend down or lay down right after eating if you can avoid it. No eating 2 hours before bed time.

Hope this helps a bit.
