Heartburn From Digestive Enzymes?


Chad Sines

Recommended Posts

Chad Sines Rising Star

I recently, two weeks ago, started taking Digest Gold. It may be my imagination but it seems to be causing roaring heartburn and really irritating my hiatal hernia which I rarely notice. I tried skipping the dinner dose but do not see a real difference.

My non-celiac issues: Hiatal hernia, GERD, and history of ulcers, no GB.

Anyone else getting heartburn from digestive enzymes? Not sure if it is unrelated or not.

Definitely, I just started to take enzymes again after a relapse and I had mad heartburn last night. It's best to take it after you have a few bites to eat first.

last night it was so bad I took two zantac 75's and then chewed on some tums and it finally subsided. It takes some getting used to at first...

Oh no, that might be a cause of my heartburn, and probiotics too. I think probiotics should be taken with a whole quart of water.

I did a trial of back on Digest Gold for a week and could always taste acid in my mouth. Stopped for last 3 days and nothing. started today and 2 hours later had it again. interesting.

Oh yes! I can take some but not any with bromelain in them.

My experience is along this line....try not to consume alot of acidic products. If you are having heartburn it is because you are highly acidic or more acidic than normal so thus do not take anything that would increase your internal acidity.

There are a lot of people here who have been helped tremendously by digestive enzymes and probiotics as well as betaine. I think the key is to try them separately and listen to what your body is try to tell you. I do think they are all worth exploring.

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in...

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just...

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms...

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now...
