Acid Reflux Or Gerd

My 2 1/2 yr old son was diagnosed with celiacs and EE in May of 08. We went gluten free and he was on a three month course of prednisolone. He did wonderful - no more vomiting, acid reflux etc. He had been off of the prednisolone since August. Lately he has been complaining of his chest hurting. When he drinks and burps there is normally vomit in it. Last night he was eating a grilled cheese and the food got stuck in his throat and he threw up everywhere. A few minutes later he was hungry again. He ate and it all stayed down (this time I gave him noodles).

Have any of you had a reoccurance with your children with EE? If so, did you do prednisolone again or some other treatment? Finally, do you have any recommendations for acid reflux medi that does not contain gluten?

Thanks,

Lisa

My daughter was on prevacid . . . it comes in a chewable form for kids.

EE is an allergic type reaction. Was the doc thinking it was wheat (rye/barley/oats) that was triggering it? It could be something else that triggers it. Did you do allergy testing?

My son's (10) GERD went away when he went gluten free. You might want to make sure everything is really gluten free. Read here for when people have reactions to some things that say they are gluten free but aren't. Not very many medicines worked for my son much for the GERD, but AXID seemed to help.

What we thought was GERD in our daughter who was 9 at the time was what actually led us to the Celiac diagnosis.

Are you sure what you gave him was gluten-free?

One of her biggest glutening symptoms is hard burping/hiccups with food coming back up (but not quite throwing up all the way). When it happens, we usually get her to eat something we know is gluten-free and that helps things stay down for whatever reason.

We've had zero reflux problems since she has been gluten-free.

I am sure he was not glutened. He has suffered from acid reflux since birth. I was suprised to see how much an infant and burp up!

Not sure but since my GI dr presribes it my 2 1/2 yr old daughter takes prevacid 2 times a day. She has had acid reflux since she was about 10 months old. We just have the celiac diagnosis in May of 2008. She seems to handle it fine but I would ask about it....

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
