Not sure if these even were palpitations or what they were..

But around my late 20's...  maybe 26 or 28....   I started getting this weird spasm type sensation in my chest.. They felt like a very quick short "pumping" type sensation.. like something was constricting then releasing very quickly..  would last only a second or two then gone..   and would come randomly..  if I was just laying on the couch doing nothing... or exercising..

I had an EKG done for something else unrelated.. that turned out to be just a sore chest muscle from weights and I figured if the other thing was something serious it would see that as well.. but the EKG came back normal..  so I just forgot about it.... But kept having them everyday up until about a month ago.....    Then it just stopped...   haven't had it anymore.. after having it daily for the past probably 15 years...  

The only obvious change in my lifestyle has been not eating Gluten for the past 2 months and taking a multi vitamin...

Was it das Gluten????????????????

It definitely could be related to eating gluten if you are sensitive to it. I had similar issues, went to the emergency room a couple of times because it felt like heart issues, but they found nothing. I also had panic attacks that were sometimes associated with this, and the feeling of vertigo. This was at the height of my symptoms before I finally got diagnosed.

Of course it could also be a heart issue too, so get it checked out by a doctor just in case.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Started having ataxia symptoms (tremor, twitching, leg weakness, slurred speech) approx 1 year ago. I have had extensive neurological testing and negative. However, I had celiac blood and gene testing that were both markedly positive. Have been gluten free for almost 1 year but still having episodes or flairs. Has anyone else experienced this?  I have been pretty strict about my diet and am also dairy free.  How long before it took you to feel like symptoms mostly resolved?    I would like to add I’ve also been pregnant for most of this time, so I’m seeing a lot of my symptoms return postpartum. Now that I’m also having regular bowel movements in comparison to the constipation from pregnancy, I am noticing evidence of malabsorption in my stool. I also lost weight postpartum quickly. I have an upcoming appointment with a G.I. to hopefully get an endoscopy done. I’m on several supplements and have no known deficiencies on bloodwork. Has anyone found that increasing fiber or starting a digestive enzyme supplement helped?    I am hoping there is still some chance for my body to heal since it has been 11 months on the diet.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
