Since I've gone gluten free, spicy food has given me some issues. This week I have had something spicy three times. each time, I have experienced nausea, headache, and acid reflux/heartburn. Spicy food has never done this to me before. I can normally eat some hot stuff. Anyone else have this problem? I know someone else that has, just wondering if we are the only ones out there.

I occasionally have mild problems with spicy foods if I over do it.

But it is definitely not uncommon, spicy foods can irritate an already out of wack stomach/small intestine. Just try to avoid them as much as possible and then slowly and gradually reintroduce them back into your diet.

Me too. I grew up on Mexican and Cajun food. So, hot was not a problem. But I have to be very careful anymore with plain old pepper. Anything more than a tad and I'm toast. I cannot tolerate chili powder at all. PP mentioned slowly introducing it back into your diet. I got my "leaky gut" healed and I have only been able to add the plain pepper back into foods but, still, only a tad. I wish you better luck.

Are any of you sensitive to nightshades? Peppers and paprika are nightshades.

one of my celiac consequences is GERD--and spicy food will have me swallowing acid for hours. i avoid at all costs.

I have the nightshade allergies. No peppers of any kind. I can't eat anything with black pepper in it for sure. I get D and/or vomiting within 15 minutes. Black pepper is something I knew I couldn't eat since I was 8 years old.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
