Yes but they don’t know why. Ct scans have always been normal. Then they tell me its anxiety or in my head and to see a therapist. Going to try a functional medicine doc this week after going in for all the normal work ups today.

Do you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance?

I'm no cardiologist or even a physician of any kind but I do know that a couple of the spinoffs of celiac disease can be: 1. anemia and 2. neurological problems. Have you been officially diagnosed with a gluten-related disorder?

Officially as gluten intolerance but I have positive celiac antibodies so I really think its celiac disease but I was misdiagnosed / told wrong

Ginger, my question was intended for the OP, Katie munos. Apparently, you and I were posting about the same time and you beat me to it by a smidgen.

No, my bad! I was wrong about Katie being the OP. Sorry for the confusion.

I definitely had heart palpitations as a symptom before I went gluten-free, and they sometimes led to panic attacks, and emergency room visits. I do believe the symptoms happened first, which led to the panic, so the heart symptoms were not psychological in nature, which is what some doctors tried to tell me. This category has summaries of studies done on celiac disease and heart issues:

Thank you!! Can I ask,  once you went completely gluten free, no cheating and all that, how long did it take for your symptoms like to completely resolve or did they?

This particular symptom resolved within the first few months of going gluten-free, but came back if I got gluten in my diet by accident during the first 1-2 years of going gluten-free. I haven't had the symptom at all after my first 2 year GF time period.

Good to know, thanks! I've been trying really hard to stay gluten-free yet my stomach look and still feels glutened. I guess the healing is probably a long process after years of damage 🤷

Hi Ginger! I also had heart problems when I was eating gluten, the cardiologist found nothing. It was palpitations at times, but also sometimes like a premature ventricular contraction. They went away a couple of months after completely ditching gluten and chocolate, this last food gives me the same symptoms as gluten :(((. I’ve tried reintroducing it separately and no, my body doesn’t like it.

hope you solve your issues soon :)))

One answer is that gluten is addictive: https://thefnc.com/research/gluten-and-dairy-are-like-addictive-drugs-to-the-brain/#:~:text=Gluten and dairy cause opioid,cold turkey off these foods. Some people struggle more than others with those kinds of things.

yes, i had SVT, went gluten free and no more issues.  celiac disease caused malabsorption of vitamins, which in turn caused anemia. which caused the SVT. my cardiologist uses me as a reference point now when he has a strange case present itself. took a few months to resolve, but it's gone now.

You said you went to the ER? Any specific reason? I had another episode yesterday and ended up in the ER myself. I’m scared to death now that it’s going to happen again. It’s like the anxiety feeds the SVT. And yes I must admit I have fallen again recently and had actually eaten gluten yesterday. My heart rate was super high and had palpitations. All my tests were ok

As mentioned, my symptoms included heart palpitations and vertigo that seemed to feed into panic attacks. Once I was gluten-free for a few weeks or months those symptoms went away.

Clearly ER visits are expensive, so if you're still getting gluten in your diet that is causing you to go to the ER it would be worthwhile to be sure your diet is 100% a gluten-free. This would also help you to avoid the many health issues associated with untreated celiac disease, like a higher intestinal cancer risk.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
