Looks fine.  But are you now having problems with indigestion or heartburn?  Is this a new symptom?

Well, it might just be healing still from active celiac disease or maybe an intolerance to something else.  Keep a food journal.  It really does help.

I had some Chicken Bone Broth last night...  which my Nutritionist said i should start eating.. i bought it at whole foods gluten free rather than making it..   it had some tomato and spices in it and caused my Gastritis to flare up...  i had reflux this morning with some blood.....     which isn't a new thing for me when i eat anything that has any kind of acidic or spice in it.

I even had it a bit the next morning after I ate at that Gluten free restaurant down in fort lauderdale.. They had a Sweet Potato Salad which was pretty spicy. I only had a few fork fulls but that was enough... 

I had the endoscopy done like 2 months ago and Dr saw nothing... I was having it before that time as well..... He specifically looked for any kind of bleeding anywhere and saw nothing....  I also had an Occult blood stool test done which was negative....   so its like it only happens when it gets aggravated...... also had a CT Scan of my entire Abdomen in early May from Rectum up to mid chest... nothing strange seen.

 the Nurse I talked to when making the appointment this morning said it was a flare up from what you ate.

I think I should start taking something for it though just to help it heal faster.... that's what I'm going to talk to him about.

DJFL,

Once you start Acid reducers....they can be hard to get off of....

Have you had a lot of stress lately.....it can be common in the 6 months before someone develops heartburn...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15184707/

Spicy things can make it worse and other trigger foods like Tomatoes etc....because they are so acidic...

When your stomach acid is too low....this can happen being confused for High stomach acid instead...

This Howard Hughes Medical Institute article about why this is so....

https://www.hhmi.org/news/excessive-growth-bacteria-may-also-be-major-cause-stomach-ulcers

try taking Baking Soda as test of this theory....explained well here...

https://drjockers.com/5-ways-test-stomach-acid-levels/

Also see this article series about Acid blockers and heartburn that explains it well too!

https://chriskresser.com/what-everybody-ought-to-know-but-doesnt-about-heartburn-gerd/

Eating Low CARB might help your heartburn/GERD ......because CARBS ferment....

This can cause stomach acid to splatter  onto your esophagus causing the burning sensation you feel.

Many people swear by Pickle Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar to help their heartburn as a home remedy.

Try some Cabbage Juice for your possible bleeding ulcer....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

DJFL,

Well there you go....

Prousky studied this 15+ years ago....he called it a Vitamin Dependency....not deficiency.

Here is the long article on it...

http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/2001/articles/2001-v16n04-p225.shtml

Here is the short summary of the longer study...

http://www.yourhealthbase.com/database/niacin-treats-digestive-problems.htm

Start taking a B-complex with meals.....and in 2 to 3 months (Maybe quicker if you go Low CARB) and taking replacement powdered Stomach acid sold as BetaineHCL capsules....

Always take with Food and at least one to two glasses of water.....water drives the process....

3 or 4 capsules with a meal....is usually enough to give you a warm sensation in your abdomen area....

You will begin burping 2 to 3 hours later....not just in the first twenty minutes after eating.....

This sudden, rapid, and forceful burping will be a sign your are now digesting your food again.

When I read Digestion is a North South process it begin to help me understand what was going on....and where it was going wrong...

https://bodywisdomnutrition.com/digestion-a-north-to-south-process/

I wrote a Posterboy blog post about my experience with Low Stomach  Acid....maybe it will help you!

 https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2106-is-ncgs-andor-celiac-disease-really-low-stomach-acid-misdiagnosed/

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      Alpine Brand Spiced Cider

      By WednesdayAddams13 · Posted

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us."

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
