Before I was diagnosed I had terrible heartburn and acid reflux. Once I started a gluten free diet I felt much better and didn't need to take my Aciphex anymore for the HB etc. I was diagnosed this past March. Now since last sunday I have had terrible heartburn and nothing will help. I can't think of anything that could have caused it. Tried to take my medication and that doesn't even help. The only thing that has really changed is that recently I have been eating more raw vegetables and salads. What could be causing this????

Celiac or a gluten sensitivity has a very loud voice. When you deal with that and that voice gets quiet, sometimes you can hear other voices.

After I went gluten free, I found that I had some issues with dairy. I stopped and it went away. I was able to add it back in a few months.

Try a food journal.

Now, I find that chocolate can give me reflux, but I chance it from time to time. ;)

I feel your pain....I have been so frustrated lately. I have been gluten free since 9/07. Felt better, for the most part, after going gluten free. But it wasn't long until some of the symptoms started recurring. I was tested for dairy and found that I have casein intolerance. I have now been cfgf. I have periods where I feel really good and then all of a sudden I take a downward turn. I have been very careful about being gluten free and don't cheat and read labels, etc. With the casein intolerance, I am not always quite as diligent, but I do not intentionally eat casein products. Lately, I have been very gassy, crampy, constipated and nauseous and I am really not sure why. I am really at my wits end with all of this. It is aggravating to work so hard to avoid the foods I can't tolerate....only to continue to feel bad and constantly wrack my brain trying to figure what it is.

I am sure that I really need to keep a food diary but that just seems so difficult and time consuming. It would seem that after 10 months, I would not be developing another food intolerance.

hello

I have IBS and that gives me the symptoms you are describing, especially the heart burn feeling. Doc said I should cook all my vegetables and fruits, and that was the solution to my problem. I even cook bananas (they are already soft I mean, but even they trigger my Ibs if I eat them raw)

What kind of dressing are you using on your salads? While many of us are fine with gluten grain distilled vinagers many of us are not. You may want to experiment with salads with a for sure, you made it dressing using wine vinegar instead of the distilled vinagers that are in many prepared dressings. Also many if not most use soy oil now in the premade dressings. The soy oil can also be a problem for some folks.

The dressing I used was Newman's Own Ceaser. It does contain distilled vinegar. So I will definitely eliminate that. Would you suggest eliminating the raw vegetables too or just one thing at a time?

Thanks everyone for your replies. It is nice to have somewhere to talk with people who have the same experiences. I am very frustrated with how I feel and just want to get back to feeling good again.

Do not assume that every gut issue you have is because of Celiac or gluten. The bowels are important, living, organs that can be aggravated by a host of things---- not just gluten----

How much sugar are you consuming??? How many refined carbs ?? Junk food ??? sodas ???? Are your food portions too large--- do you eat too often???? Are you eating enough natural fiber????etc. etc. etc.

Are your intestines stressed from Celiac and taking awhile to "get healthy" again ?????

There are so many variables--------- :) Your body is telling you something---- but it may take awhile to figure out just what it's saying. :D

That's right. My D went away with gluten-free, but learned that xylitol gives me D. So not gluten related at all as the xylitol is a gluten free product. I checked. Ditto for the gluten free gum with xylitol. Even small amounts give me D.

Hi, you might stop drinking coffee and soda. See if it helps, ??

I have really cut down on coffee and don't usually drink soda anyway. The only junk food I really eat is corn chips sometimes. Plain ones. It is feeling a little bit better today, but it is early. Usually escalates during the day. Only eating hommade stuff that I can be sure has no gluten. I did have one cup of coffee this morning. Otherwise I get a terrible headache. Plus I have an hour drive to work!

Hi Katie,

What kind of corn chips are you eating? A few months ago, I realized I was reacting to Lays plain potato chips and plain corn chips -- something I never would have expected. There are threads in the food sections about chips -- there seem to be CC issues with many brands of chips, incl. Lays.

Hi! I'm new to this forum, but your question about eliminating raw vegetables resonates with me. I'm gluten-free only for about 4 1/2 months now, but maybe my experience in the last few months will help you. I cannot tolerate raw vegetables except for tomatoes that have had the skins peeled and seeds removed. Salad leaves me in agony. Canned and frozen veggies I can handle in very small quantities (an ounce or two in a day). Strained cooked sweet potatoes and butternut squash make very good soups that I can tolerate. Fresh fruits don't seem to be causing me much trouble. At this early stage in my healing, I do best with a very low fat, low fiber, dairy-free diet. I'm worried about my nutrient intake by not eating many veggies, but I prefer a more normally functioning GI tract right now. Over time I'll find more veggies that I can eat.

Good luck to you!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
