How Common Is Gastroparesis Here?

Hello,

After discovering celiac with an upper endoscopy (it was a silent disease for me), at the same time they discovered antral gastritis and gastroparesis. The gastroparesis continues to worsen even though I've been gluten free since August. Gastritis remains the same. I now have a positive ANA (1:320), so there might be a connective tissue disease we're looking for, maybe sjogren's. But I have two questions:

1. Can celiac (even though gluten free for nearly 8 months) cause a positive ANA of 1:320, speckled?

2. Does celiac cause gastroparesis, and if so would it worsen after being gluten free for nearly 8 months?

Anyone with similar experience?

Maybe I got my answer by no one replying. Maybe celiac and gastroparesis aren't really connected. And maybe celiac and a positive ANA aren't connected either. It seems we're looking at a connective tissue disease.

Hi there

I think quite a few suffered from it before going gluten free. How strict is your diet - any chance of small amounts of gluten getting in? Have you had follow up tests to check blood antibodies or intestine to see if you are healing?

I was " diagnosed" with non ulcerative gastoparesis while trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Turns out I was gluten intolerant instead!

Hope you figure out what the problem is. You do know there is often greater chance of developing other auto-immune diseases like sjorens, when you have celiac? Bu if you are gluten-free it shouldn't be such a problem still?

Chooper: When I hwas dignosed with Celiac in 2005 [by an upper GI, blood test neg.] My Dr. had me do the test for gastroparesis[stomach empting]. Showed I had it.

So no more salds. Woody

I also have Gastroparesis diagnosed by the capsule test. In addition I have GERD, hiatal hernia, IBS. I am dairy free and gluten free.

My daughter was diagnosed with it at about the same time as she was diagnosed with celiac disease. Doc thought it was related. He put her on a med for a couple of months to help motility until she had a chance to heal. She has intermittent issues...when glutened and strangely enough about once a month around the same time which I think may be hormonal.

I definitely have gastroparesis, and that diagnosis came a year after being strictly gluten-free. About 4 months later I discovered I had several food allergies, and I thought that was the cause of the gastroparesis. It wasn't. If I'm gluten- and allergy-free and do my best to eat what I need for my gastroparesis, I'm mostly okay. Still have good days and bad days, and it's a delicate balance, but I do feel better.

Hi Marz,

I took the celiac diagnosis very seriously and I consider myself very strict, which I why I'm puzzled why the GP is worsening. And maybe it's another AI underlying it. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you all for your replies. If it turns out I don't have another AI disease causing it, I'll take comfort in knowing there are others with celiac and GP! Thank you!

How strict are you? Do you eat "gluten free" packaged food, or do you prepare everything for yourself? Have you ever tested your food?

Sorry, just saw your question! I prepare most everything from scratch using gluten-free flours, like muffins and bread. There are a few gluten-free prepackaged items I buy, like Riceworks crackers and a couple other snacks. I avoid dairy except an occasional indulgence in a hard cheese. How do you 'test' your food?

I just got the diagnosis this week of limited scleroderma and hoshimotos, so maybe that's contributing to my tummy problems. I guess only time will tell!

Hi,

I got diagnosed with Celiac first and when I only improved halfway, I got tested and diagnosed with gastroparesis, the medicine works well, but it has its own diet, no greasy foods or strawberry seeds, many things, I am two different diets for Celiac and GP. GP diet is important too. I take Eyrthmycin Tabs as well for GP.

Welcome Dawn!  Since celiac disease interferes with the ability to absorb vitamins, it can cause nerve problems.  It's a good idea to be tested for vitamins levels at the beginning of the gluten-free diet, so we know if we are lacking any.  Some people are low in B vitamins, and that can cause nerve issues.  Which could cause gastroparesis.  So might be worth looking at.

I have gastroparisis, or go through phases of it [have had the testing for it.]  I think its related to both celiac and my diabetes.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
