I have been wheat free for 2 weeks now the first week I noticed no change except withdrawl I am now starting to feel better its exciting. My question is it seems my throat is sore and my chest seems to burn like my esphogaus is on hurting. Are there two problems maybe gerd or is that my esphogaus healing? This board has really been a source of help to not feel so alone.

I had taken Prevacid for 5 years previous to my Celiac diagnosis (haven't needed it since) but I didn't experience burning in my esphogaus even when the doc prescribed the Prevacid. She gave it to me because I complained of a "sour stomach" and it helped that.

Are you taking folic acid and B vitamin supplements? They might help your body heal faster. I know I was deficient in both of these and that's common both for Celiacs and for people that take reflux drugs and anti-acid drugsd like Tums.

Does the burning seem to follow eating any particular food or type of food?

thanks for the reply I will try the folic acid I am not taking anything at this point. I have had my gallbladder removed almost 2 years ago and since then I seem to be getting worse with a lot of foods I can't eat acidy stuff like tomato sauce or fruit like stawberries. If I eat a lot I get a sour stomache and real nauseos I was taking altoids peppermint and realized they were making everything worse. I am seeing a gastro guy but can't get in till 7-26. without the wheat I seem to be less gassy/beloated but I know I am not eating right becasue so many things make me feel bad.

Just out of curiousity... Why only wheat free? Why not completely gluten free? Are you doing an elimination diet due to negative test results?

I should have said gluten free I guess my blood test came back negative but allgery test came up positive for wheat buckwheat eggs so at this point its an elimination and so far feel better going gluten free its all very frustrating to me because I tell my dr my symptoms and asked him what I should be doing he said wel try going gluten free its like they don't know what to do with me. I know I don't feel good and I am not a hypochondriac .

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
