For those of you who may have acid reflux with celiac disease, do you get it so bad it feels more like you are having a heart attack? I have attacks like this now and then. I'm on perscription prilosec 40mg. 1x daily. I had a stress test 3 yrs. ago. Didn't show anything. Just had another attack Sun. p.m. and should maybe gone to the E.R. but didn't. Went to my cardiologist today though. Set up another test. So I guess I wonder has anyone with celiac have any heart problems stemming from celiac? Thanks, Sister golden hair

I am 45 yrs old. I have had lots of problems since I was 7 or 8. I have had acid reflux maybe atotal of 10 times that I can remember but I can remmeber having what I thought were heart attacks from the age of 17. Everytime i've gone to the er they told me it was either stress or anxiety.

Since I have been gluten free for nearly a year haven't had any of those symptoms until the day after the New Year. We took my mom out to Golden Corral for New Years Day dinner. Was very careful in what I ordered, or so I thought.

That evening I felt fine but the next morning I didn't feel so good. It progressively got worse to the point I couldn't breath, my left arm felt kind of tingly, Dizzy, etc. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and asked my sweetie to take me to the ER. It was bad. Anyway, they checked my heart, my blood pressure, my gallbladder, my blood sugar, even ran a cat scan for blood clots in my lungs. Everything was normal. I told the er doc about my gluten free status and that I had gone to Golden Corral the night before. Thank goodness he was Celiac educated, because he told me I had a classic symptom of getting glutened. He hgave me an IV with Pepsid and 3 tablespoons of Mylanta. I quit hurting within 10 minutes. I went home an hour later with no pain at all. I felt like crap the next day plus my chest felt bruised, like I had been hit. But other than that was ok.

I used to have reflux so bad I'd be in tears! It was painful to eat, painful to drink, and painful to breathe!

Since being gluten free though, it hardly bothers me ever. And I have a hiatal hernia. now all I get is hiccups.

      Need Advice on Doctors

      I recently had an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and blood tests, and my gastroenterologist concluded that I’m “likely gluten sensitive.” However, they wouldn’t provide a prescription or a formal doctor’s note—just a test result saying I’m likely gluten sensitive, along with the advice to avoid gluten. I’m frustrated because I know that proper doc...

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      Hi, I'm very frustrated with my problems related to the above. I find Gluten to be easier than fructose, at times even lactose b/c I love cheese. I do buy lactose free dairy products but still have problems. Have recently been adding more bread to bulk up my stools. Any suggestions for products that might help? Thx. AP

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Welcome to the forum, your symptoms are certainly consistent with possible celiac disease. Were you eating lots of gluten daily in the 6-8 weeks before the test? If not it could lead to false negative results. When you post your results please also include the reference ranges, as each lab uses their own. Good luck!

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Waiting on camera test

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all? Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms g...

I’m frustrated because I know that proper documentation could help with tax breaks for gluten-free foods and even workplace accommodations. I’m also not willing to go through another gluten challenge—it was rough! Does anyone have recommendations for a doctor (U.S. based preferably Texas) who is more understanding and willing to provide the necessary documentation for gluten sensitivity? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.
