Celiac disease and acid reflux are related.\u00a0 If you have celiac disease, you are more likely to experience heartburn.\u00a0 At least there is a remedy to this type of heart burn.<\/p>\n

It is normal to have heartburn occasionally.\u00a0 But when it happens several times a week or more, you need to take a closer look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Acid Reflux<\/h2>\n

Acid reflux, or heartburn, is caused by stomach acid that goes partially up the esophagus. It can find its way to the top of the esophagus,.<\/p>\n

Acid reflux feels like a burning sensation around the breastbone and\/or near the heart.\u00a0 You may also taste bile at the back of your throat when it is more severe.<\/p>\n

If acid reflux occasionally, you can ignore it as an inconvenience.\u00a0 When it happens regularly, it is called GERD<\/strong> (gastroesophageal reflux disease<\/strong>).\u00a0 This is when it requires medical attention.<\/p>\n

Acid Reflux and Celiac Disease<\/h2>\n

If you have celiac disease<\/a>, you are\u00a0 more likely to experience acid reflux on a regular basis.\u00a0 In other words, if you are more likely to have GERD.<\/p>\n

One study found that 19% of celiac disease patients had GERD, compared to 8% without celiac.<\/p>\n

One may assume that if you have GERD, you have an elevated chance of having celiac disease.\u00a0 If I can find some information about that, I will let you know.<\/p>\n

Acid Reflux and Gluten Allergy<\/h2>\n

If you have a gluten allergy, acid reflux may be a symptom.\u00a0 I\u2019m not aware of any studies looking at this, but it is something to watch out for.<\/p>\n

If you have a gluten allergy<\/a> rather than celiac disease, the next section may still apply to you.<\/p>\n

Acid Reflux Remedy<\/h2>\n

If you have celiac disease, then your GERD symptoms should disappear when you go on a gluten free diet.\u00a0 At the very least, they should be reduced.\u00a0 If it is possible to have GERD without celiac disease, then it is possible that a gluten free diet will not completely eliminate heartburn if you have celiac disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
