Breathing Difficulties

Does anyone have their breathing change after they eat - mine gets much shallower and rapid. My doctor has told me it is because I smoke.....granted, I should quit smoking but if this is the case I have gotten very out of shape in just one year - doesn't seem right to me.

Hmm, are you maybe still getting bloated when you eat? Or do you eat a lot at one time? Try to figure out if it's mechanical (your stomach gets big and interferes with your lung space) or a reaction.

I got glutened yesterday, and today I am wheezing. I had no asthma symptoms for a long time, and wasn't exposed to mold, cigarette smoke or animals, which usually make me wheeze. It had to be the gluten.

I've also noticed that after a little exertion, I am out of breath. One day my son asked me why I was out of breath after carrying in the groceries. I don't know if I'm that out of shape or something else is going on. I do go to a personal trainer once a week and don't really notice it there, though. <_<

I spent over 20 years with asthma symptoms, yet extensive asthma testing results were always that I didn't have asthma. I had difficulty breathing...I often felt like I might feel if someone were sitting on my chest. I had a dry cough which never went away. I wheezed. Occasonally I was symptom free for short periods of time, but sometimes it would just re-appear and then plague me for months on end. When I went gluten free, all this went away. When I would eat gluten, it would come back.

I have never been a smoker, but it's obvious to me that gluten caused my asthma-like symptoms.l

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. My gut tells me that it is related to eating and not smoking and it is hard when a doctor doesn't really listen. (I am going to attempt to quit smoking anyway). You have all validated my thoughts so I thank you so much......Noel

Hi Noel, I always know if I have been glutend, because i get very bloated and breathless, I think that it is in my case caused by the bloating. I go to the gym three times a week for a good cardio workout, but when I have this bloating it makes it very hard to get my breathing on track, and when I go to do my sit ups as soon as I bring my head up to my knees I find it very hard to breath. When I am feeling normal without bloating my breathing is OK and I can do all my exercises with no problems. Curious to know if anyone else has this problem.

Sorry should have added been a smoker for 42+ years, now given up 4 years best thing I ever did squash player 25 years runner, going to the gym 15 years. I never had any problems before coeliac symptoms, I have been diagnosed two years now by biopsy. I still go to the gym symptoms or not, just breath a lot harder, but won't give up, "Big high from the UK".

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
