For those of you who may have acid reflux with celiac disease, do you get it so bad it feels more like you are having a heart attack? I have attacks like this now and then. I'm on perscription prilosec 40mg. 1x daily. I had a stress test 3 yrs. ago. Didn't show anything. Just had another attack Sun. p.m. and should maybe gone to the E.R. but didn't. Went to my cardiologist today though. Set up another test. So I guess I wonder has anyone with celiac have any heart problems stemming from celiac? Thanks, Sister golden hair

I am 45 yrs old. I have had lots of problems since I was 7 or 8. I have had acid reflux maybe atotal of 10 times that I can remember but I can remmeber having what I thought were heart attacks from the age of 17. Everytime i've gone to the er they told me it was either stress or anxiety.

Since I have been gluten free for nearly a year haven't had any of those symptoms until the day after the New Year. We took my mom out to Golden Corral for New Years Day dinner. Was very careful in what I ordered, or so I thought.

That evening I felt fine but the next morning I didn't feel so good. It progressively got worse to the point I couldn't breath, my left arm felt kind of tingly, Dizzy, etc. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and asked my sweetie to take me to the ER. It was bad. Anyway, they checked my heart, my blood pressure, my gallbladder, my blood sugar, even ran a cat scan for blood clots in my lungs. Everything was normal. I told the er doc about my gluten free status and that I had gone to Golden Corral the night before. Thank goodness he was Celiac educated, because he told me I had a classic symptom of getting glutened. He hgave me an IV with Pepsid and 3 tablespoons of Mylanta. I quit hurting within 10 minutes. I went home an hour later with no pain at all. I felt like crap the next day plus my chest felt bruised, like I had been hit. But other than that was ok.

I used to have reflux so bad I'd be in tears! It was painful to eat, painful to drink, and painful to breathe!

Since being gluten free though, it hardly bothers me ever. And I have a hiatal hernia. now all I get is hiccups.

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      I agree, unfortunately a gluten challenge means intentional gut damage and inflammation to those with celiac disease, and taking lots of AN-PEP enzymes could potentially decrease this and skew the results, although I've not seen specific studies on this idea.

      Not validated

      I’m really sorry you’re going through this — what you’re describing is, unfortunately, something many long-term celiac patients encounter. A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with ...

      My Journey Continues some notes

      It sounds like you’re doing a really thoughtful, disciplined job listening to your body and tightening things up where needed. Tracking symptoms alongside foods in MyFitnessPal is a smart next step, especially since bloating and gas can come from specific GF ingredients (like gums, fibers, or certain flours) rather than gluten itself. Your approach to eating o...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Just be sure that she continues eating lots of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise going gluten-free beforehand could create false negative results.

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Her results only showed greater then 100 which over 10 is considered positive. But American standards still recommend the endoscopy to confirm. And the Dr explained to us both the European and American standards and asked us what we wanted to do. We figured since it’s still recommended here, do the endoscopy so Insurance can’t argue anything in the fut...

      Gluten tester

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach makes a lot of sense — focusing on balanced meals and being cautious about cross-contamination is smart, especially when you’re traveling or unsure of a kitchen’s gluten-free practices. Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can help keep energy steady. For snacks that fill you up, look for protein bars with simple ingredients, higher protein, and lower added sugars — reading labels is key on GF bars since “gluten-free” doesn’t always equal healthy. Pairing a salad with a quality protein bar when you’re unsure about a restaurant’s GF safety is a great strategy to avoid symptoms while still feeling nourished.

A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with menopause-related changes, neurological concerns, and recovery from a demanding job would exhaust anyone, and it’s understandable that this is affecting your mental health. You deserve care that looks at the full picture, not quick conclusions, and it’s okay to keep advocating for yourself or seek a provider who truly understands complex autoimmune cases. You’re not imagining this, and you’re not alone.
