I have had daily heartburn for the last 5-7 years...which goes hand and hand with my weight gain!

I went gluten free...4 days ago and it's 95% better....I am hoping/praying that weight loss ( I eat more because of heartburn ) and going gluten free will do the trick...

I have been reading/googling tons of connections of Heartburn and Gluten Intolerance!!!!

How about you????

For me, it wasn't just heartburn. It was all out reflux, which mimicked heartburn. Once I went gluten free... it went away.

"Heartburn" is exactly how I know whether or not I've been cc'd. It's unmistakable.

For me, going gluten free was a learning process, so I was gluten lite at first. I had had relux (with heartburn) for many years and took Prilosec all that time. I found that yogurt helped immensely if I ate it every day. I finally was able to stop taking medication for it. After I had been gluten lite for a while I pretty much stopped eating yogurt because I was simply getting tired of it every day, but I was still feeling fine. Once I had been totally gluten free for a couple months the relux---heartburn especially---came back big time :huh: I'm pretty sure this time it is from sugar---especially the tangrines I was eating every day. I'm almost back to normal now, but still have to watch the sugar.

i've had heartburn indigestion for around 15 years. I remember it being better when I was the aitkins for a while. I can't drink OJ. Bread can create massive heartburn

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
