Still Having Chronic Upper Gi Distress

not sure what is going on but i have some kind of functional condition where working out, lifting and doing certain types of exercise and even sneezing cause spasms in my esophagus and stomach and make me feel very uncomfortable after eating...even when i dont eat the activity will cause burping. I dont have GERD or acid reflux and had an endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, colonoscopy and everything was negative. im so healthy now and my diet is excellent but i just cant figure out what is causing this upper gI problem. its somewhat debilitating since I cant work out and lift weights or play certain sports..i had to quit everything. i lost weight and spend most of my days sitting. i still go for walks but its not enough...i want to do more intensive workouts and build myself up again but i cant. would very much appreciate any suggestions

I am sure the endoscopy showed whether you had a hiatal hernia. if your hernia has gotten worse they might have to tighten it up ? I know that abdominal exercises really bother me both upper and lower gi

You might want to ask your doctor for a referral to a physical therapist. They can be very helpful in showing you how to build your body back up and may be able to pinpoint what is causing the issues.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
