Wait, what? ....YES!
So, back in December I was diagnosed with Celiac, blahblahblah. Looking back I had multiple symptoms, but the one major 'get-me-to-a-doctor' thing was the heartburn. Truthfully, my doctor wasn't even looking for signs of Celiac when he found it, so I was pretty lucky to even be diagnosed.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that heartburn is one of the rarer symptoms of Celiac. Since December, I've been wondering what exactly caused the heartburn, but I haven't been able to find any answers. When looking at a symptom list, heartburn usually isn't even mentioned, let alone explained. I've just kind of accepted it's just another weird thing about a weird disease & moved on.
But! Bam! Today, I think I figured it out!! I was reading some posts on the Celiac Facebook group, & someone mentioned that foods that cannot be digested start to ferment, & that fermentation causes heartburn.
Gluten --> Cannot be digested --> Ferments --> Heartburn!!
I finally figured it out!
I feel oddly satisfied. :] I still want a brownie, though, LOL.
Still in Japan, BTW. :]
