It is interesting to see this post. I have been going through similar issues with panic attacks now that I am gluten free. It started with attacks in grocery stores where I did not know what to buy to attacks when I noticed I ate something wrong. Now, more recently, I noticed my bad nerves are taking over in my daily lifestyle. It seems I am always fussing over something. Not sure if it is celiac related or not, but my doctor seems to think so. My friend on here suggested trying fish oil pills daily. I just started on Friday so I am not sure how it will work out for me! Hopefully well.

That is awful. It sounds like we have had similar attacks, but mine seems very mild compared to what you are describing. I know the feeling of wondering whether or not it is a heart attack some day or just a spasm. Very scary. I guess if the time ever comes *hopefully not... we will know! I hope you fell better soon.

Yes it is! The range of answers that the doctors give is frustrating at best! I struggle with that issue often. My future mother in law also has celiac and her and I are often comparing what our doctors have to say. It seems we are never on the same page. When I first started going to the doctor with celiac symptoms *having no clue what it even was at the time, they tested me and it came back negative. The doc told me it was just bad nerves and all in my head. After a year of suffering, he finally double checked with another test, and well what do ya know!? Maybe I should get a second opinion

Both times I went to the ER they said I was having a esophageal attack...this GERD issue, is this gluten related? or a whole nother problem? Eeek!

Usually when I accidently eat gluten I first notice with severe lower left abdominal cramping and it moves up my back to right in bewteen my shoulder blades. The first time this happened to me I thought I was dying. My ER doctor said a lot of time the pancreas starts acting up and causes these symptoms.
