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 .

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
