Question About Return Of Acid Reflux

A few months ago, my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease. As far as I know, she has been very strict with her diet. Before her diagnosis, she had a major problem with acid reflux. After starting the celiac disease diet that problem cleared up. Recently, however, she has noticed a return of her acid reflux symptoms. I suspect this means she has been getting gluten in her diet again. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I had reflux my whole life. I have since realized that it was due to celiac all along. It took about 2-3 months on the gluten-free diet for my reflux to go away. Now, when I'm glutened it comes back and lasts for 3 weeks after I'm glutened by a cc amount. So, I would think that she is getting some gluten in her diet, but depending on how long the reflux has been back, it might be from one isolated glutening.

Apple cider vinegar tablets really help me when I do have reflux.

Does she know if she has been glutened lately?

Maybe your sister can lay off dairy for a while and see what happens.

I have a friend who's major symptom is acid reflux. She's discovered that she also gets it from other things, like apples and cucumbers. Maybe your sister is having reactions to other foods.

Great suggestions - thanks! I know she has many food allergies as well, including mushrooms, pepper and others. I suspect she is getting gluten in her diet and needs to take another look at that. I know they eat out a lot and that can be a real challenge for her. She has purchased a great restaurant guide for celiacs, which should help with that.

Thanks for the tips!

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70.

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

      Thanks. I ve joined coeliac uk but found them particularly unhelpful - they told me to eat gluten for 6 weeks then have an  endoscopy! I m actually a retired hospital dietician so pretty well know what I m doing…… Louise
