Mild gastritis related to new celiacs diagnoses ?

Hello,I was diagnosed about two weeks ago been gluten free about three now..at time of my endoscopy the biopsies finally showed celiacs but also showed mild chronic gastritis in my antrum(lower stomach) I don’t know if this can be connected or caused by my untreated celiacs or not?ive herd lots of mixed answers on this and know a lot of celiacs don’t experience this symptom but they’ve done tests for everything else that can cause gastritis which have all come out negative.it will cause me pain and burning sensation in my stomach and makes me not want to eat..if this is related to celiacs and anyone has also experienced this gastritis how long on gluten free diet did it take for your stomach lining to heal or feel better? What do you suggest to encourage healing ?ive really fallen in a depression because of the discomfort and new diagnoses, feeling like it’s my fault at times somehow. Also I had to do a gluten challenge in September to do second biopsy to try to diagnose celiacs and ever since then the gastritis has been bad. Also I feel my ppi nexium worsens my gastritis pain for some reason.

I think the two could definitely be related, and you can see by a search of this site that there are over 2,300 results that mention "gastritis," so it is a very common issue here:

I believe that in the other thread you started you are getting ideas about how to deal with it, but be sure to discuss this with your doctor as well.

Yes I have definitely talked about this with my specialist as well as my doctor but it’s been really bad ever since I had to do the gluten challenge and I’ve gotten lots of mixed answers and opinion as to if they are related so it’s been difficult to figure out exactly where the stomach irritation is coming from for sure and it’s quite painful for me but I appreciate all the help and suggestions and support on this page a lot.

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous...

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those...

      I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist might also explore if there’s concurrent inflammation or autoimmune involvement (like juvenile arthritis, which sometimes overlaps with celiac). Gentle massage, Epsom salt baths (for magnesium absorption), or low-impact activities like swimming could help ease discomfort while he heals. Keep advocating for him—you’re...

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.
