I will try to make this post as short as I can. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when I was born, in the last decade or so I contracted diabetes, and I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis in my hips. But the reason why I'm posting here is because I have been on some form of ant-acid for over 30 years. I've tried everything to wean myself off of Zantac from drinking apple cider vinegar, to trying mastic gum. But my stomach still hurts during the night, but during the day it doesn't really hurt, it just seems to sap my energy.

After eating a meal, my stomach growls intensely, and I have to take a gargantuan amount of digestive enzymes with my meals to avoid having gas, and no matter how many I take, I still have some.

I'm wondering if alot of my problems arise because of what I put into my body. Since I see enough drs already, I kinda frown on seeing anymore, so does anyone think it's a good idea to go on a gluten free diet for awhile to see if some of my symptoms subside? My gripe is that gluten free food isn't too cheap, and due to my CF, I have to maintain my weight.

I truly believe that many diseases and problems that people have are related to what they ingest in some fashion. That's my opinion anyway. It won't hurt to try gluten free for a while to see how you feel! You dont have to buy all the prepackaged stuff to test this out. I started on gluten free brown/white rice and different kinds of sauteed vegetables/unprocessed meats. You can eat more cheaply that way for now until you see how it works for you.

      High Folate Levels

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of...

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      Welcome Connie Smitj, Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful? It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner. When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      High Folate Levels

      By Tyoung · Posted

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of my levels are now normal, but folate level is >24ng/mL. Has anyone else had similar results? If so were you able to figure out why or how to normalize them? I also have been having constant acid reflux since about two weeks into going gluten free (no acid reflux history prior to) that we are trying to get to the bottom of with no answers. Could that be related? Thank you!! Also wanted to not that I am not eating any gluten free processed food.

      Did you take a look at my pics that I uploaded?    These rashes is not itchy, but I have seen that people have this too that have celiac and it’s not itchy for them either. I have also heard that sulfur burps are a common things with celiac too.  Yes it can be something else too but it’s to much symptoms that I have that match with either gluten sensitivity or celiac.   Hopefully it’s just gluten intolerance and not celiac.  As I said before I have the gen type for celiac and diabetes typ 1 and the those diseases going hand in hand.    Thanks again Trent for your time to reply, and I wonder if any body else have kind of the same symptoms that I have?
