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!??

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
