Gluten and heart problems


Tetti

Recommended Posts

Tetti Newbie

Hi, I am new to this forum, just going through many tests to figure out symptoms that go from feed to gallbladder low ejection to heart palpitations... list goes on and on... I don't feel myself... I just want to ask if anyone knows or experienced heart palpitations or other heart problems due to gluten intolerance. My ECG always shows that I am having anterior infarct and it's been a year since  and no doctor can figure it out. Any ideas please! Thank you very much!

Celiac disease can affect many parts  of the body.  There are over 200 known symptoms, but unfortunately they can overlap with many other AI issues or other illnesses.  Best to get tested.  Keep eating gluten and ask your doctor for a celiac blood test.  Learn more:

To answer your question, I had a non-functioning gallbladder (0% injection rate).  If I had been diagnosed sooner, it might have been prevented (I think).  Others here have had heart issues.  Again, best to get tested.  

I wish you well.

Hi! I've had heart palpitations. They're very scary, so I understand.  Get your vitamin D, B12 and folate levels checked.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Deficiencies in certain vitamins can have an impact on how your organs function.

Yes, I had many years of palpitations, missed beats etc. as well as very intense chest pains which closely match those of a heart attack. I had several ECG's in hospital ER, wore a 24 hr trace, had cardiac sonography and none of it showed up anything. When I removed gluten it cleared up, although if I've slipped up ever I'll get the palpitations back. 

There's a couple of links in this post which may be of help as they list some of the symptoms that are associated with celiac/gluten sensitivity. As CL says, don't remove gluten till you've been tested, that can make it so much harder to get a diagnosis. 

Best of luck!

Yes! Always had heart palpitations, wore a 24hr monitor once and was on high blood pressure meds for 10 years. (Starting at age 27!?)

Test results non-conclusive. 

Had no idea it was related to Celiac but it all went away after I went gluten-free. 

Never bothered to tell anyone but my husband. ( A cardiologist would just roll his or her eyes.)  I take vitamin D and b12 now. 

Good luck!!

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
