Racing Pulse?

I have suffered from a racing pulse after eating for many years now. My husband thinks I think too much about what is going on inside. I am wondering if anyone else suffers from this too. I have asked my dr and my allergist and they both say it has nothing to do with food (so I guess it is only in my head?).

I wouldn't say it's in your head..... if it really bothers you don't ignore it.. I have issues with heart palpatations some times, and racing heart rates. Mine have always been linked to my hyperthyroidism, which I believe is probably accurate. SO I don't know if it's from food or not, but my husband thought the same thing, until i went to the hospital one time from it, and he could see it on the monitor. Mine was actually skipping beats though.

okay, i've been gluten-free for 8 weeks and my GI doc wants to do endoscopy. He says it will indicate other reasons for my problems if it isn't celiac disease. My blood test was positive for celiac. I really don't get it. What else will the biopsy possibly show? He says intolerance for other foods besides gluten. Does this ring true?

Thanks,

warpspeed

p.s. gluten-free diet didn't help

I don't know about your Dr, but mine explained that the biopsy would only be tested for celiac. I suppose the only thing that would have been obviously not cleiac, would be if they saw somehting during the procedure that did not correlate to celiac. I got the impression that they would be doing the test for that reason only, not looking for anyting. Not testing for misc causes.

You may be in a different position, but that was what they were going to do for me.

It's possible that you are celiac, and it's just going to take a while to notice changes. For some, it can months even a year to recover. It depends much on the amount of damage, and how long you have had it. Keep that in mind. If you have been gluten-free your biopsy might not show celiac, but that doesn't mean you do not have it. If they don't come up with anything else, you may still want to stick with the diet longer to see any changes. Your biopsy may give you more ideas though. IF they are going to test for other intolerances it may help too.

Hi, this is my first time on this site. I was diagnoised 2 months ago with Celiac Sprue disease. Mine was found with an upper and lower GI. Yes, this is important to have done. My body has been producing tumors and cysts from this disease for years, and no Dr. has picked up on it, until now. My intestines and stomach linings are in very bad shape, as my Villa is flat from years of eating wheat products.

I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and am having a very hard time finding any information about the disease. Our Drs here seem to not know much about it, or just blow it off as no big deal. My 31 year old daughter was just tested over her Drs. objections, and her Anti-gliadin ABS IgG levels were very high. But, her Dr. told her not to worry about it, because he didn't really know what that means anyway. She has asthma, skin disorders, and many more systems of CF. I told her to get on the diet immediately.

I still don't understand all the test results, and what they mean to my Celiac. I just had another blood test, and the level was 42, Dr. said he would like to see it at about 20.

I guess I am asking for some friendly advice as to where to turn to find answers, and to actually no what is going on in my body with Celiac Sprue disease.

Thanks for listening

Nicole,

I believe that in naturopathic medicine, a racing pulse after eating is viewed as an indication that you ARE sensitive to something you just ate. Unfortunately, many (if not most!) food sensitivities are NOT mediated by IgE and so won't show up with conventional allergy testing. Of course, alternative testing is not standardized and is often operator-dependent, so it's something of a catch-22 situation.

I long for the day when "conventional" medicine is holistically oriented and geared toward recovering/maintaining health, instead of merely covering up symptoms with yet another prescription! <sigh>

I hope you figure out what is causing the problem, so you can treat it effectively!

I get a racing pulse if I am eating foods that are contaminated with the things I'm allergic too.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
