i was being treated for acid reflex for 9ths then it was discovered that i have Celiac disease....now eating gluten-free products i am finding that when i eat anything with a acid level my reflex gets worse....the answer here is stop eating them which i have done....why even when i eat the smallest amount does the acid built up so fast???....is it part of the healing process???...was the acid connected or another symptom of celiac???? :(

As I understand it, the acid isn't from the food itself, but from the stomach. The hydrochloric acid of the stomach is supposed to be very strong, and it is produced in response to food in need of digesting. I heard it is normally strong enough to dissolve the flesh off a human hand in three minutes! So it stands to reason that it would hurt to have such acid come up into a part of the esophagus not designed to handle it. Plus it doesn't make sense to me for someone to work against the digestive process by neutralizing the acid.

There is a recent thread on heartburn, and a number of posts about using apple cider vinegar to help/cure the condition. I'm sure a search for this type of vinegar will bring up that and other related threads.

try taking a ani-acid pill before you eat and if that helps you could have acid relfelx disease

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?
