You can leave the afib off. Hey all, I thought these were the kinds of " chatty " e-mails we were going to do privately. I have 56 e-mails this a.m. and these really are a nuisance. Could you do them privately instead of being cutesy on the list? Thanks. Toni CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Possibly a pizza leads to a general gastric discomfort which leads to vagal AF (see my site, below). Also pizza is wheat and many people are wheat intolerant without being aware (I was), which then leads to same as my first sentence. Cheese is fatty and difficult to digest which can also do much the same. Strangely, the type of wheat may affect things. I can't eat pizza or bread here in the UK, but can in Italy. Only one solution, then....!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thanks for the info Vicky. Personally, I've never been bothered by eating bread <wheat intolerance> or cheese. I was however treated for H. Pylori <with antibiotics> and I do have acid reflux. I'm currently taking Nexium for the stomach problems with limited success. I ate spaghetti last Sunday and I'm still burning with the acid. Your site is quite interesting and I'm starting to wonder if all my afib problems really are actually related to my stomach problems or just a result of my heart disease.. I see a gastroenterolgist tomorrow to see if my H pylori has been eliminated and I'm going to ask him about all this.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Pizza does not seem to hurt my AFIB. , I like you think some of my AFIB problems are linked to my stomach and reflux problems. Please keep me posted about what the doctor tells you. Good luck - take care.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I've always assumed it was the amount of sodium in the combination of dough, tomato sauce, cheese, processed meat(s) and olives. (Used to work in a dairy. The amount of salt in cheese can be breathtaking.) Store bought pies generally give me more trouble than the homemade variety. > >Reply-To: AFIBsupport >To: AFIBsupport >Subject: Pizza and Afib >Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 00:13:16 -0000 > >Regarding the poll on pizza. > >Why would pizza trigger afib?

Have a look here: http://www.dialsolutions.com/af I found it sort of odd that even a few people were wondering the same as me. Perhaps the yeast? Perhaps nothing? Who knows.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Debbie, I saw my gastroenterologist today and showed him the paperwork on the H Pylori and Afib relationship. He said he was aware that there was something " out there concerning this " but didn't much credence in it at this time. He said he " wasn't blowing it off " and that in 2 or 3 years he might change his thinking but as of now he didn't buy it. He said the great majority of people with H Pylori and other stomach problems like acid reflux don't have afib. He said I should discuss it with my cardio and that he thought my afib was caused by my heart disease. He said to watch the foods I eat that cause the reflux and recommended that I keep taking Nexis every day and try something called " Prelief " that's available over the counter. He wouldn't guarantee it but said it might help. That was about the extent of my visit.

For a couple of years I thought pizza triggered my AF episodes. I finally figured out that when it comes to pizzas I was a bit of a pig. I'm now of the opinion that it is not so much pizza as eating any large quantity of food, especially in the late evening, that is a trigger for me. One or two slices of pizza have never triggered an episode - it's just cramming a whole pizza down my neck that will give me trouble Anyone who believes there's something peculiar about the ingredients might want to try the 1 slice experiment - just remember to stop at 1 Other people have reported that spicy food cause them trouble and a very large number report trouble with GERD/acid reflux. My gut feeling (pardon the pun) is that over filling the stomach is a good way to get the vagal nerve over excited and is probably a separate issue from GERD (which I don't suffer from) even if the end result is similar. -- D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
