Gastrisis

So I was just randomly diagnosed with celiac a month ago and showed absolutely no GI symptoms. I had a lot of headaches and back pain but stomach issues. After being diagnosed and completely going gluten free I started to feel 10x worse and my stomach throbbed. I was just informed I have gastrisis..which doesn't completely make sense because the number one symptom is vomiting and i haven't thrown up since i was 5 years old. After taking medication for gastrisis I'm still feeling forse than I did before being diagnosed with anything. My doctor has been no help at all. I've also been gaining weight. I lost weight when I was diagnosed and I've gained it almost all back but I'm not sure if I can stop gaining weight when I get back to my normal weight. HELP please

Welcome, Kristen!

Do you mean gastritis? I had gastritis (inflammation), which showed up when my GI doctor did the endoscopy/biopsy. It was news to me as I never had vomiting or any pain from it. What kind of meds did your doctor prescribe?

Some of us become much more sensitive to gluten after we have removed it from our diet. Could you be getting cross contamination somewhere? Did you call the maker to be sure that the med you are taking is gluten free? If you had positive blood work it might be a good idea to have the panels run again to see if your numbers are going down.

Oops I meant gastritis. I'm on omeprazole. I'm very careful with not having contaminated foods..I think.

I figured that's what you meant. I think I've read of people here who have been on omerprazole or other acid reducing meds and had too low stomach acid. Hopefully someone else will chime in who has had that problem.

I suffer from gastritis and I pretty much never vomit either. However when I'm having a flare-up my stomach burns and hurts. I also feel a lot of pressure in my ribs. They gave me Carafate which is an ulcer medicine that protects your stomach from acid and allows it to heal. It worked wonderfully!

Gastritis is not caused by excess stomach acid. So acid blocking drugs will not 'cure' gastritis. Stomach pain can be caused by an infection from the H. Pylori bacteria, which can cause ulcers. Unless you have ulcers, your stomach can tolerate high amounts of stomach acid. However, unless your doc tested you for H. Pylori and your test was positive, you probably don't have ulcers. Nevertheless, gluten intolerance and other delayed reaction allergies can cause stomach issues, because allergic reactions in the intestine prevent proper digestion of food. You can feel overly full with very little food and even get stomach aches. Moreover, insufficient stomach acid, rather than excess stomach acid, can also cause stomach pain.

Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I often refluxed food and even threw up easily. However, I never refluxed acid. Nevertheless, a doctor diagnosed gastritis and put me on acid blocking drugs. Years later, I was diagnosed with celiac disease, abstained from gluten and still got stomach pain. A stool test diagnosed H. Pylori bacteria. However a Heidelberg capsule test showed that I had impaired stomach acid production (too little acid). So I was given mastic gum and L-glutamine to treat the H. Pylori and heal my stomach. Then I began taking supplemental Betaine Hydrochloride to increase my stomach acid. Now I rarely feel overly full after eating and almost never reflux (unless I eat foods which relax the lower esophageal valve, like peppermint, caffeine or chocolate). If I eat a large meal and don't take enough supplemental HCl, I can get stomach discomfort. However, as long as I get enough supplemental acid, I feel fine.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
