Is Acid Associated With Celiac?

I been doing my diet and i still felt horrible. I started taking my acid pills (prilosec) and i started to feel better! I smoke cigarettes once in awhile and i think it might give me some acid problems once in awhile but i was wondering if acid reflux/too much acid production can affect your healing process and make your stomach hurt.

I don't know about everyone, but I have very bad acid in my stomach, to the point where I may have an ulcer. I don't know if it has anything to do with having celiac, but I would imagine that all of the stress and wear and tear from your stomach being unable to digest the gluten could have an impact if you're already susceptible to acid problems. if you're having a lot of reoccurring acid issues then you should get it checked out because you could have an ulcer, which from what I've heard isn't uncommon for people with celiac.

I had ulcers as a child/teen, and ongoing acid problems in my late 20's.

The only things that helped me was to drink lots of water, especially in the morning and to stay away from acidic foods (unless part of a meal), eat stuff that absorbed acid (crackers), and eat regular meals.

When the acid would go nuts I'd take a visualization moment (imagined pain leaving my body out my fingers) and it would calm it down.

At the time I didn't know a thing about gluten....dovi was eating it left and right. But no meds helped....tried them all.

One of my worst symptoms was acid reflux! It's settled down some since going gluten-free, but not gone completely. I've been on RX meds for it for about 10 years.

Don't know if this will help you but my Dr. gave me Glutagenics to help my stomach heal when I was first diagnosed. Take a look at the reviews and see what you think.

I found the taste to be not very good so instead take DGL pills. DGL is one of the main ingredients. DGL=Deglycyrrhizinized Licorice Root.

smoking can absolutely cause reflux issues. I'd try to nix that entirely.

Yeah, GERD was a big problem for me, had it badly for years and years to the point the acid would bubble up in my esophagus and I couldn't swallow, stomach ulcers etc. Was taking medication everyday for it. And the day I went gluten free was the day my acid stopped and I've never needed medication since (unless I get glutened) ....who knew it would be so easy!??

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.
