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.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?
