Hi,

How bad gasses can be? Got today some relapse of bloating and burping

and the gases are coming high to my chest causing sometimes even some short stubbing pain.

Especially weird feeling when I e.g. bend or lay down and I'm getting often some heart palpitation

followed by burping.

thanks

I get really gassy. Actually that was the one symptom that made me go to the doctor to get it fixed. I used to burp every 2 minutes. Ha Ha I thought I would go into the world record with longest burping spree or the most burps. My stomach/intestines get really noisy and I bloat!. Just make sure you don't lay down after you eat. That's a no no. Could it be that you are having heart burn?

Could it be that you are having heart burn?

I used to have some heart burn but not recently. Did your gases caused any pain i chest?

How did you get rid of this? I'm currently on candida diet (no sugar, wheat etc) Yesterday I ate some

ice cream and wonder if it could be the reason.

I am in the midst of a burpy, bloaty, gassy, nauseous miseries relapse, with the heart palpitations and insomnia also. Couldn't figure it out until I remembered a different medication I had begun to take. If I can't sleep I normally take a Valium, and I had had my PCP in Nevada give me a refill a couple of months ago when I was there. Only she got smart with me and instead of prescribing Valium she gave me Lorazepam. When I ran out of the Valium I started taking that, and didn't think to check it's gluten-free status. I called Schering and they said they didn't put gluten in the product, but I told them "You can't fool a celiac." They then backtracked a little and said, well, they didn't claim to be gluten-free because they don't test the product, but their suppliers were supposed to notify them if there was gluten in it. Obviously they didn't.

I am a bit better today, having finally cottoned on and got some more Valium. Only took the Lorazepam because I had eaten a chocolate truffle after dinner and suddenly I am reacting to the caffeine in chocolate, which had never bothered me before, and had a bad dose of palpitations and insomnia the night before I had to do something important, and needed my sleep.

I am getting a bit tired of these food reactions :angry::( Besides I felt so stupid.

Are you sure nothing has crept into your diet unawares??

I really don't know anymore, I thought I don't have celiac since blood test didn't confirm that,

but I'm not sure since looks like I react sometime badly to breads and beans soups etc. In the meantime I found out from spit test that I may have candida overgrow so I undergo no sugar, no wheat diet. I cheat a little with wheat though. Some of my symptoms got better but again both diets are similar a little. So I'm totally confused. Some explanation could be candida die-off but when I get this chest pain and palpitation or bloating

I started to get scared and anxiety comes to play :(

Have you tried going totally gluten-free, i.e., no wheat, rye, oats or barley??

I tried once few months ago, it seamed to help but stopped don't remember even why.

I think you're right I'll try it one more time along with candida diet, maybe I have both? :o

Symptoms can be very similar as I read.

The most disturbing are these stubbing pain in the middle of the chest. They're rare though.

thanks

today I started to feel mild pain in my mid chest when swallowing...

Anybody can relate?

I've read it can be GERD related.

It can be related to GERD, among other things. With chest pain, it's always best to check with your doctor.

Having said that, I have the same symptoms that you do and, for me, they don't seem to be related to gluten. Just last month, I had another endoscopy and the doctor found a hiatal hernia that explains my upper digestive symptoms that don't correlate with gluten.

I was very bloated, burpy, indigestion pains.... when they're really bad these can shoot in your chest and make you feel like your having a heart attack. I also had anxiety attacks and palpitations for years before going gluten free, partly because of the effect gluten had on my body but also because of the worrying and unanswered questions about what was wrong with me.

If I went anywhere in public and started to feel ill, I would get scared that I was going to be sick everwhere or suddenly get diarrhoea and not be able to find a bathroom and that would make me go into a kind of anxiety attack.

There are so many symptoms associated with coeliac disease. Blood tests are often false negatives so the only way to really find out is to try the diet. You need to give a gluten free diet time. It can be weeks or even months before your system can clear itself and you start to notice the difference. B)

I found my gassyiness to subside when I went gluten free and I notice it comes back when I eat gluten and when I'm under a lot of stress. I've been dealing with gas since forever and it's finally nice to go on a date with someone and not be gassy! I would recommend gluten free because now I'm free of a lot of stuff and definitely notice some improvement. I also used to have food that would "get stuck" in my throat and one time it even choked me on a date with a boyfriend at the time. I puked in his car! Not a good memory but I also noticed that that doesn't happen as frequently. It's one of those things that gas and all that jazz are symptoms of million other things so the best thing to do is trial and error. Good luck!

That exactly how I feel sometimes, strange but for some time I though it was candida since on no sugar/no wheat diet I was doing much better. Problem is I was cheating on wheat so if I am sensitive to gluten that could be a reason I have problems now. It's possible that I have both also - candida and celiac. Yesterday I ate some ice cream and macaroni...

I'll try absolutely no gluten for some time and we'll see.

Good on ya!! Here's hoping it works for you too :wub:

I have never had the stabbing pains but did used to start the anxiety bit. If you feel that coming on, try to relax and try some deep breathing through your belly (i.e., let your belly expand as you breathe slowly in, then breathe sl.o.o.w.w.ly out. This used to work for me.

I also used to have the food stick in my throat and throw up, especially with meds. Happens less frequently now.

Of course, as jerseyangel says, your symptoms could be coming from something else, but if gluten free works you have your answer. If not then you need to explore further with your doctor.

P.S. Your ice cream reaction could be a lactose intolerance too. I can't eat ice cream.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
