Gerd I Think It Is.

I think my 3 yr old acid reflux has came back. She has been having a cough and nausea and then throws up. It seems to be happening at night or nap time. Also I sometimes hear here whining in her sleep. I guess she is hurting. She does complain about her tummy hurting alot to. She has not gone gluten-free yet because she got to get the scope on the 25. She used to have it when she was younger and then it went away. Also does anybody else had it go away when they went gluten-free.

Mine goes away and stays away as long as I avoid gluten and lactose if I get any amounts it returns and I have to take a Prilosec to stop it. You can try giving her an antacid to help lessen her pain but check with the doctor first for dosage and type. It won't affect the out come of the biopsy as long has she continues to eat gluten.

My 6 year old had horrible reflux up until he was about 9 month old. After that he developed a bad rattling in his chest. At that point I believe he was having silent reflux. All of the reflux I know contributed to his breathing problems and as a result he was on pulmicort twice a day till he was three. At that point he didn't have any more breathing issues(and still doesn't). However when he started last June complaining of his belly hurting (he was 5.5 yrs old) he would complain he was having "puke burps" a lot. 5 months later I had his celiac panel redone and he showed up positive. The only time now he complains of either the belly ache or "puke burps" is when he gets accidently glutened.

For myself my main gi complaint was horrible reflux. It gradually got to the point that I couldn't sleep without sitting up at it's worst. I refused to go on meds because I didn't want to bandaid the problem. Unfortunately it took another 2 years after this to get diagnosed with celiac. I learned to deal with the reflux and I avoided things I "knew" would make it worse (didn't know about gluten). After I went gluten free, within a month my reflux was gone! Anytime I would get glutened by accident I could tell because my reflux would come back within 30 minutes to hours. Now my gluten reactions have changed. I get very mild reflux if I get any at all but I do bloat up within hours of being exposed. Then by two days later I have horrendous D and steatorrhea. I usually have to eat very simple and take creon during the week to two weeks it takes for me to get back to normal. I know this is bad to say, but I think the reflux was easier to deal with than my symptoms I get now from an accidental glutening. I guess this is why this disease is so darn weird.

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacpartner! Does this happen with all nuts and all fish or just certain kinds? And are we talking about products that are advertised as gluten-free eaten at home or things served in a restaurant?

      Hello. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 30yrs ago. He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used to get when he eats gluten. After 30yrs of getting it right and knowing what he can and can’t have with essentially no major instances, this has thrown us. Could this be a new intolerance or an allergy and has it happened to anyone else after so many years? thanks

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?
