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~

      Severe severe mouth pain

      So sorry for going off topic. I have had gerd for about 25 years. I used to take 40 mg in the morning and 40 at night . My current GP has me down to 20 mg twice a day. I don’t have any issues on this dosage. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

      Okay, I got lost in the weeds here in this protracted thread. What are you taking omeprazole for? Your original thread had to do with dental, gum and thrush issues. Normally, a PPI is prescribed for people with GERD (acid reflux). How long have you been on omeprazole?

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 d...

      Hi Charlie  I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 days to live. After 3 weeks, in hospital I received a liver transplant. I was so sick I was there for 3 months. After that my kidneys went south. I was on dialysis for 8 months and on a kidney transplant list. When we received the call about an available kidney (4yrs) I was so excited! After the transplant the surgeon told my husband I had a 1 in 10 million chase for a kidney transplant as my antibodies were at 99%. Only 1 percent of the population was a match to me. I’m 1 year out from my kidney transplant and have so much energy and life left to live!  Please everyone, listen to your body and get medical advice. I wish I had sooner.   i hope this will inspire more people to Donate to Life.
