Hello-I am new to this forum-I have just started an elimination diet of gluten products after having acid reflux for the past 6 months with no improvement from traditional meds. I am seeing a new DR and it appears my diet may be the root cause. Do any of you know of acid reflux bing a symptom of gluten intolerance/allergy? How long does the eliminstion of gluten need to go on before improvement?

Thanks for any info!

I admire your tenacity but apparently unless you get tested before going gluten free you won't know if that's the true cause. I had petic ulcers five years ago and they totally missed the Celiac. If you Dr won't refer you for the blood test it might be time to change Docs. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi....I am starting it on my own, but have my Dr's support, in fact, she was the one who suggested an allergy as a possible reason why my reflux/throat burning has not responded to prilosec etc. I was positive for several food allergies about 3 years ago, but was never tested for gluten, so I am giving it a try to see if it helpd my symptoms-thanks for your reply, I appreciate it~

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi again Sorry to be a pain but my daughter started on her Vitamin B medication a week ago, not sure what dosage as she hasn’t said. However she has been feeling much worse the last couple of days with back pain, bowel and tummy problems, blurry vision, tingling. Had GP appointment after work and has been sent to hospital for scan of head and bloods. ...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

      I had to rush to the hospital last week due to anaphylactic shock from taking a dose of an antibiotic. Received EpiPen, steroids, antihistamines, zofran (all injected/IV). When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this...

      Test interpretations

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      Test interpretations

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Hi again Sorry to be a pain but my daughter started on her Vitamin B medication a week ago, not sure what dosage as she hasn’t said. However she has been feeling much worse the last couple of days with back pain, bowel and tummy problems, blurry vision, tingling. Had GP appointment after work and has been sent to hospital for scan of head and bloods. She should have had other bloods done when she had her B12 and folate done but GP didn’t put them on the list, ie Vitamin D levels, ferritin, thyroid function tests, glucose. She phoned us this morning very upset and worried. Told her it was probably the body’s reaction to the medication and that it might get worse before it gets better. My husband and I live in the Western Isles and she’s in Glasgow so we can’t exactly jump on a bus and be there at the moment. Hoping you have some words of wisdom for me and sorry again for annoying you. Thanks

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this or happen to know why that would happen? The meds they gave me were all meds that I've taken to try to resolve the rashes, but they never worked in pill form. I'm wondering if it the addition of the epi that helped, it if injected steroids and antihistamines were what did the job.

But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.
