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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
