Cd And Reflux

Just wondering how many people here also have reflux? It seems like it often goes along with celiac's. I don't have a problem with it but my son gets reflux that hurts so bad it keeps him up at night whenever he gets wheat, and my daughter had reflux pretty bad as a toddler so I'm wondering if she might have the same problem. Does anyone else notice reflux increasing when they get glutened? And do you struggle with reflux as well?

When my son was an infant the reflux was wicked. He was on "baby zantac". Neither of my other children had reflux.

I believe the two are inter-related. It just seems to make common sense when you think about it.

I actually started a topic on this a while back which you san see by going to Open Original Shared Link

Best of Luck!

I also have reflux and had surgery for it before Celiac was diagnosed. I am now being tested for Lupus because of all the joint pain and the fatigue.

I had a big problem with reflux, but since going gluten free, it has totally disappeared.

Officially, I don't have celiac disease (negative biopsy & bloodwork only showed elevated IgA Anti-Gliadin), so I've "challenged" myself a couple times, just to see what happens. As soon as I re-introduce gluten into my diet, the reflux comes back.

Terry,

Does Pepcid help when your reflux is really bad? The past two days I have had terrible heartburn and I do take Nexium once a day. I"m wondering if I need to up my dosage. I didn't know you could take Pepcid as well. Does it help? I've got to figure something out!

Hi! I already take (2) 40mg Nexium daily .................. and add the pepcis to that when needed................... Yes it does help~

(1) don't eat and lay down

(2) don't eat before bed

(3)easy on spices

You can chck with your doc........... but this is what I was told! I also added 150mg of zantac before I went to the pepcid as per my doctor!

Hope it helps!

Hugs, Terry

My presenting symptom was reflux and after 2 years of Pepacid I diagnosed thru Enterolab and the reflux went away within weeks of being gluten and dairy free. Also a congestion in throat and nose and ears went away. Only then did I realize all the gastro problems had not been normal. As well as irregular periods, heart rate...

My 19 yr old celiac daughter was up to 40mg nexium 2x daily and xtra strength pepcid 2x daily and a 3rd nexium if needed after a ph probe on meds showed that the usual dose was not blocking enough of the acid. She decided on her own to take a "drug holiday"....24 hours off meds...she learned that these "holidays" are often helpful in one of her nursing lectures...(never skip insulin)....she resumed the following day starting at one Nexium one hour before her dinner and the reflux is very much improved. She did this on her own....I would not recommend trying this without a doctor's advice...but she feel so much better...she was looking inot surgeries but was told that they are risky....she agrees that reflux is probably worse if she gets some gluten...this usually only occurs when she eats out and is not assertive enough about the cross contamination issues.

I have been to the hospital twice for reflux nothing seem to help. I went to the health food store and they gave me activated charcoal...It's a miracle.. I never go anywhere without some. It knocks the pain out within 10 minutes

I have it so bad that I was diagnosed in 2003 with Barrett's Ring around the esophagus. I thought all I had was occ. heartburn. I urge all of you who have reflux to be "scoped" (endoscopy). This is nothing to fool around with, it can turn to cancer, especially in men. Just another thing we have to worry about. I take Prevacid every day and I have to be checked for the rest of my life.

Be sure you have the EGD if you haven't already!

Yes I get this sort of thing especially a cough that has lingered a couple of months.

Perhaps I need to get it checked alongside my migraines.

:rolleyes:

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
