Gluten
For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, consuming gluten, primarily found in wheat, rye, and barley products, might trigger inflammation impacting the vagus nerve, potentially aggravating AFib symptoms.
Recent studies have shown prolonged atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) in individuals with untreated celiac disease, a predictor of AFib. Reducing gluten intake could aid in managing AFib symptoms for those experiencing inflammation due to gluten sensitivity or wheat allergy. [6]
