Can you have acid reflux AND celiac?For 2 years I was treated for acid reflux,took the medication and did fine.Then my dr.movedand I had to get another one.This guy wants everybody to go to some specialist or another.So I went to a digestive specialist.Now they won't give me the medication I was taking then.I am gluten free,but I still have the full bloated feeling and I upchuck just a little.I feel like I have been glutened but that is the way I felt before they gave me the medication for acid reflux.Can some one understand what I am trying to say and help me?

I believe that you can have acid reflux and celiac disease. I'm guessing that your new doctor may have taken you off the medication because it has gluten in it.

I feel like I have been glutened but that is the way I felt before they gave me the medication for acid reflux.
Were you given the medication right after you first started the gluten-free diet? If so, then you may have been still getting sick before the medication because your intestines were not healed yet.

Also, are you sure that you are 100% gluten free. No gluten in cosmetics, hair care products, suncreen, ect...? And do you have a separate toaster/deep fryer, condiment jars, ect...?

Also, you may have had your medication stopped because if it was an antacid that is often inappropriate as we tend to need more acid in our stomachs not less.

Best thing - ask doctor why!

I have found from my experience and I also read somewhere that migraines cause a shutdown of the digestive processes such as acid secretion in the stomach, hence reflux.

Acid reflux is also a very frequently listed effect of celiac disease.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
