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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in.

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
