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!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
