Acid Reflux And Oesophagus Swelling?


amylouise

Recommended Posts

does anyone have this problem? this started out as my first syptoms when eating gluten, when eating gluten i'd get awful stomach acid that would come up if i bent down and when lying down and also eating foods with gluten in would make my oesophagus swell so the food would build up in my oesophagus and i'd feel i was choking and i'd have to regurgatate the undigested food (not nice!) it seemed to happen more with gluten foods that had a really stodgey texture like bread and if i had rice with a sauce that had gluten in i'd have the same affect, i now eat tonnes of rice and make sure the sauce doesnt have gluten in and it doesnt affect me at all. i've not met anyone else with the same symptoms? xxxx

My daughter was diagnosed celiac and when they went in to biopsy, they found her esophagus swollen. The doctor said that it should have been very difficult for her to swollow. They tested her eosinophil count and diagnosed her with EE - eosinophilic esophagitis. Basically, her esophagus swells in reaction to any allergen. The swelling can lead to scaring. EE is often associated with reflux. Others may be able to answer you better, this is just our experience in our family with sysmtoms similar to what you mentioned. EE is fairly new, you can find info at www.apfed.org I am pretty sure that it is mainly a problem with young people.

YES! thats exactly what they said i had! but the doctors were really rubbish about it and had NO idea about the condition. so all they suggested was going on to steroids :s they said i didnt have celiac disease, but i had been gluten free for a long time before so that probably effected my results as i'm pretty sure i am celiac, i have all the symptoms if i eat gluten - and being gluten free makes all the symptoms go away. thanks for your answer! its nice to know there are other people out there with the same problem!

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
