Burping & Breathing

I am a recovering celiac, dx in 08-08. My villi went from severely to mildly atrophied/blunted. Right now, I am experiencing problems when drinking. I drink water, and I have been burping a lot and feeling almost like a lump in my throat. When I get this, my blood pressure appears to drop, and I feel tired. I don't understand why that is. I did have back-up/constipation problems, but I'm now having daily BMs.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

have you talked to your doctor about this? i vaguely recall this being something specific - when the blood pressure drop is included. it's not all that uncommon to get a fair amount of burpiness if you happen to swallow a lot of air when you're drinking, but if you're avoiding swallowing air, it's a bit unusual.

Yes , I have the exact same thing happening to me. I feel like there is a lump in my throat and sometimes it is hard to swallow. I have hypothyroidism and Celiac Disease and a herniated disc in my back plus a ton of symptoms from the Celiac. Some have lessened but I still have alot and I was diagnosed July 14th 2008.

I was always worried that I had something worse. I had tons of Mris, cat scans, seen a hemotologist, endocrinologist etc. I was eating out at mcdonalds for a long time just getting a hmburger without the bun. Probably not a good idea at all. To many cross contamination issues to deal with. I feel like I should be further along in my healing. The lump in my throat thing seems to be far worse after I get glutened though. <Ted>

Guys, pleased have your dr check this. My friend just had surgery last week for a cancerous thyroid. Her main symptom was trouble swallowing pills and food. She pushed her dr and he agreed to a sonogram of her thyroid. That showed enlargement which caused them to take a needle biopsy then to surgery. Just make sure you are not in her shoes. At first her dr didn't want to do anything about it. Get it check thoroughly.

This is very interesting Ang again you are very informed and a great asset of information. I too have trouble swallowing sometimes and with some foods if they aren't super moist I have problems swallowing them. I have no problem with cereal and saucy stuff but if my chicken isn't really moist I will have problems and then at other times I will just be sitting not eating or anything and will try to swallow and I have to use a lot of effort to get that initial swallow. Weird I think but I really hadn't thought much of it, just figured it was from my GERD... maybe I will have the thyroid check.

I have trouble swallowing sometimes too. I get the old glass of water going when that happens. For me it seems to happen further down nearer the stomach, not in the throat. I do have a couple thyroid nodules and a cyst. The doc told me there are different kinds of nodules. Some are active and some are not, and some are calcified. He said the calcified ones tend to be come cancerous a little more often than the non-calcified ones. But the rate of developing cancer is low.

This emedicine article says the cancer rate of nodules is fairly low. And that about 50% of adults have them.

Your symptoms are consistent with not fully controlled GERD. They may also be from other causes, so talk to your doctor.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
