Palpitations, Breathlessness, Dizziness After Eating?

I've done some research on celiac disease and wasn't able to clearly find if these are also symptoms of celiac disease.

For the last several months, I've been having these symptoms normally right after or a few hours after eating. It becomes much much worse with activity, if I take a long walk or if I even dare to work out I can get these symptoms. I don't ALWAYS get them, sometimes I can work out fine. But it happens to me at least once a week.

I've gotten blood tests, I did have a slight anemia for which I took iron pills and my iron level went up to 14.2 last time I checked

Vitamin b12 is normal, thyroid is normal, and all other tests came back normal (vitamins) and no sign of lyme disease.

I also had an endoscopy done several months ago for stomach problems (I've had digestive issues for a long time). I can't tell yet if my GI actually checked for celiac disease, so I will probably make another appointment with him to see if he did.

This morning, I ate wheat bread with red kidney beans and followed up with some soda and tea. I had a horrible attack of palpitations, shortness of breath and just feeling unwell. I thought I would faint (i have in the past).

Do you think I should go ahead and go gluten-free and dairy-free? I'm just not sure if I'm suspecting the right issues, because celiac disease doesn't mention these symptoms much if at all.

It could be. It could also have something to do with blood sugar, have you been checked for diabetes?

Yes, my blood test a1c came out 5.6 just last week, although a few months ago it was 5.9 (a little high, but not diabetes).

A few times when having these attacks I checked my blood sugar, once it was 136 and then another time it was 90. Not too high, not too low. So I ruled that out as a cause.

Hey i asked the same question a few weeks ago, they wont have checked for Celiac unless they were looking for it i was informed. Ive also had digestive issues since last November and been on PPIs (lansoprazole) a high dose of 60mg a day. Since i went gluten free about 60 days ago ive cut my tablets to 15mg a day and will be cutting them completely in a month. I think the gluten has been my problem all along and cant wait to get off the medication. Hope this can help you some how

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
