H.pylori

So, I am starting to have this crazy stomach pain again...

I get hungry, I eat, then my stomach feels like it's burning. Then I feel like I need to eat again to make it feel better... my stomach feels good for only a short amount of time. Grrr... :angry:

I wouldn't have even thought of this, but my friend has been treated for H Pylori and her symptoms were very similar to mine.

I know that an active H.pylori infection is pretty common among Celiacs, so I'm just wondering if some of you could share your symptoms. I'm trying to determine if I should try to move up my GI appt that is scheduled for Nov 11.

And no... I have not ingested gluten accidentally. These are foods that didn't bother me before. Yesterday, even water hurt my stomach. <_<

Hi,

If you are in that much pain, I would definitely try to move up your GI appointment. I had an h.pylori infection 3 years ago that caused 5 stomach ulcers- nothing to mess with! The symptoms you're describing certainly sound to me like they could indicate some investigating is necessary by a GI.

Feel better soon,

Debbie

Aww.. thanks Momma G! :rolleyes:

I called their office a few minutes ago and left a message with the nurse. So, now it's hurry up and wait.

Hi Lizard, I have had h-pylori and it isn't fun, so I feel for you pain. My symptoms were awful, raw upper GI pain, chest pain. Sometimes if I ate or drank something it was like acid in my stomach or chest. Lived on Pepto for years, pre celiac diagnosis. Went to my doc and he mentioned maybe h-pylori and I was like what else can I have because they never mentioned celiac. Well low and behold they did a blood test and my panel came back positive for the h-pylori, (at the time, I did not know I had celiac and neither did they, I was just diagnosed 3 years this December). I took the prev-pack of antibiotics and within a couple of weeks I was better. Ironically my sister who always thought of me as a hypochondriac pre celiac was just diagnosed about 3 moths ago with h-pylori. If you can't get in with your GI sooner, maybe your primary doc can order your the blood test for h-pylori. Good Luck

Try taking some mastic gum. It may help you as it is reported to kill H. Pylori (before taking this though, make sure you get tested first because it can cause a false negative). Nexium is great and Carafate is also really good too. Protonix is the worst...

BTW, if I am severely glutened this can happen. Only if I ate a whole 16 inch pizza or something though!!!

Hey! I had an H.pylori infection back when I was in college. It felt like normal acid reflux times ten! I had really bad chest pain. I took the prev pack and that got it all cleared up. I would definately move my apt up. My chest pain got so bad that I had to go the the ER and then they gave me one of those yucky green shots that numb your insides. Best of luck! Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, this weird stuff with misunderstanding hunger cues is a really big one for me when my stomach is queasy or upset. At first, food helps, then I feel like crap again. I had the H. pylori test and treatment (the antibiotics are horrible), and did feel a lot better, but couldn't stand the meds to complete the 21 day trial. Most ulcers are caused by H. pylori, which you probably already know.

Good luck!

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

      Gluten Allergy

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      Major Glutening

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wro...

      Gluten Allergy

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok. P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together. Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance. If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac...

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread.  It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread.  Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet:  https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html  Used it as a starting point, but I swapped out the tapioca with arrowroot and the xanthan gum with guar gum and glucomannan.  I also made it using the gluten-free pizza mode on my Panasonic bread machine and then took the batter out and put it in a bread mold to give it some shape.  I let it rise another 20 minutes and baked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes in the oven.

      Major Glutening

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6.  Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok.  P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together.  Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance.  If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac, then all the B vitamins will be poorly absorbed.  Taking a B Complex in addition to extra thiamine (Benfotiamine) is safe.  The B vitamins and Vitamin C are water soluble.  Any excess is urinated out.  I took a B 50 Complex twice a day to increase absorption.   Try taking Magnesium Threonate (Neuro-Mag by Life Extension).  Magnesium Threonate can get into the brain easily.  The brain needs magnesium, too, but other forms don't cross the blood-brain barrier as well.   The first time I took Magnesium Threonate, it felt like my brain relaxed.  I highly recommend it.   How's your Vitamin D level?
