Diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Still Sick

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Hello Everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac disease about six months ago or so. I was doing well. I felt a lot better right away. Then in August I messed up a number of times by eating out. Now I have been very strict. Although still a learning curve with hidden gluten/cross contamination. My number went from 37 to 10.

My thing is I have been getting very nauseous for about a month now. My GI doc thinks it is because I still have gluten in my system (the number being 10 still). Prior to being diagnosed nausea wasn't the problem. It was bloating, cramps, bowel issues, migraines (side note: migraines are gone!). But now I am nauseous daily. I had bloodwork and an ultrasound done for gall stones, liver and pancreas and all was fine. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat. It is usually after lunch, and I normally eat salad, meat and veggies, banana and almonds. Today I had no lunch and had coffee with milk and I suffering bad with nausea, sweating and headaches. I don't seem to have trouble with milk but maybe I do.

I am just wondering what other celiacs would have to say. I am committed to doing this, I just wish I would start feeling better. Any advice is appreciated.
