Breathing Difficulties

Does anyone have their breathing change after they eat - mine gets much shallower and rapid. My doctor has told me it is because I smoke.....granted, I should quit smoking but if this is the case I have gotten very out of shape in just one year - doesn't seem right to me.

Hmm, are you maybe still getting bloated when you eat? Or do you eat a lot at one time? Try to figure out if it's mechanical (your stomach gets big and interferes with your lung space) or a reaction.

I got glutened yesterday, and today I am wheezing. I had no asthma symptoms for a long time, and wasn't exposed to mold, cigarette smoke or animals, which usually make me wheeze. It had to be the gluten.

I've also noticed that after a little exertion, I am out of breath. One day my son asked me why I was out of breath after carrying in the groceries. I don't know if I'm that out of shape or something else is going on. I do go to a personal trainer once a week and don't really notice it there, though. <_<

I spent over 20 years with asthma symptoms, yet extensive asthma testing results were always that I didn't have asthma. I had difficulty breathing...I often felt like I might feel if someone were sitting on my chest. I had a dry cough which never went away. I wheezed. Occasonally I was symptom free for short periods of time, but sometimes it would just re-appear and then plague me for months on end. When I went gluten free, all this went away. When I would eat gluten, it would come back.

I have never been a smoker, but it's obvious to me that gluten caused my asthma-like symptoms.l

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. My gut tells me that it is related to eating and not smoking and it is hard when a doctor doesn't really listen. (I am going to attempt to quit smoking anyway). You have all validated my thoughts so I thank you so much......Noel

Hi Noel, I always know if I have been glutend, because i get very bloated and breathless, I think that it is in my case caused by the bloating. I go to the gym three times a week for a good cardio workout, but when I have this bloating it makes it very hard to get my breathing on track, and when I go to do my sit ups as soon as I bring my head up to my knees I find it very hard to breath. When I am feeling normal without bloating my breathing is OK and I can do all my exercises with no problems. Curious to know if anyone else has this problem.

Sorry should have added been a smoker for 42+ years, now given up 4 years best thing I ever did squash player 25 years runner, going to the gym 15 years. I never had any problems before coeliac symptoms, I have been diagnosed two years now by biopsy. I still go to the gym symptoms or not, just breath a lot harder, but won't give up, "Big high from the UK".

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
