Heartburn After Eating Gluten Free Foods...

Recommended Posts

Since going gluten-free, I feel SO much better. But I have had two terrible heartburn experiences. I mean this was not mild heartburn, this was chest on fire MAKE IT GO AWAY hearburn! Both times were after I ate food labeled as "gluten free".

The first time was after trying a gluten-free pizza on special gluten-free crust.

This last time was after having a handful of gluten-free pretzels by Glutino. They were really good too.... but but worth the after burn.

What could be causing this? Any thoughts?

This happens to me when I get glutened by cross contamination. It happens a day or so before the intestinal issues start. Either that or there is something else in the food that doesn't agree with you such as soy or corn etc.

That happened to me two weekends ago. I could not figure out what caused it.

Was that a take out pizza? Not all places that do gluten free pizza have pizza that is really gluten free due to all the cross contamination issues.

The Glutino pretzels would have gotten me because of the soy but I don't know if that is the case for you.

Pepto Bismal liquid usually puts the burn out really quick for me.

It definitely could be cross contamination, because I am having issues keeping my kitchen area gluten free. I have two teenage boys that cook for themselves, and they aren't always the cleanest...

Thanks for the info!

Some of the gluten-free flours will do that to me. I have to be picky. I have to watch soy (which I know is in the pretzels) and bean flours.

Personally, I wouldn't automatically blame gluten for any problems. I was sicker with the gluten-free products than I ever have been with gluten (same for the others in our house). We have to be very careful which sub we choose which is another reason why I just make my own.

I get sick off of many gluten free products, I am very sensitive though, but I get that horrible heartburn too. Nothing seems to work to get rid of it for me till the whole experience runs its course. I am at the point of knowing I just need to make from scratch all my food.

Exact same for me!

I am so glad that I am not the only one! I guess I will just have to stay away from gluten-free substitute food. And when it makes me as sick to my stomach as I was the last two time I tried it, I don't think it will be that hard.

Thank you!

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis went away.  I have one week of treatment left, and other than one loose stool very early in treatment, I have had no further bowel issues.  I was told that 80 percent of people go into an extensive, or even permanent, remission after taking Budesonide.  During the colonoscopy, two polyps were removed, and one was precancerous.  I know that colon cancer risks are higher in people with Celiac disease, so it was recommended that I have another coloscopy in five years.      Like your husband, I probably had untreated Celiac disease for years.  It makes one wonder if the chronic irritation and inflammation could lead to the development of microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  This disease is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years old, and occurs approximately in one out of every 1,000 people.        Incidentally, If your husband is prescribed Budesonide, it can be purchased significantly cheaper by using GoodRX.

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!
