Dry Heaves? Nausea? Help!

I am beyond tired of dealing with this. I finished lunch about 2 hours ago. I just had a nausea/dry heaving spell that is barely managed with some nausea pills.

 

Has anyone else done this?

What did you eat? Alot of times nausea pills make me even sicker. 

emilykay405 Rookie

I had Arby's (something that hasn't caused problems in the past...which is why I still eat it). I'm on gluten until at least Thursday. The nausea pills I have seem to work. This isn't the first time it's happened. The last time it happened was after I ate out but I don't remember where.

Did you ask your primary why they interpreted your test results as positive?  If they are correct and your interpretation is wrong than it is not surprising that you are having issues.  Also if you are actively refluxing than I would expect problems too.  You may be gluten intolerant which would also cause these issues.  If it were me I would try to eat more healthy to heal from the problems you are having.  Are you planning to have an endoscopic procedure?  Do you plan to go gluten free regardless of results?  

 

All the best!

Well, if you are gluten intolerant and still eating gluten, presumably for a biopsy? then you are probably having a reaction to it. I know I'd have more than dry heaves and nausea if I ate at Arby's.  :ph34r:

 

(or am I missing something.??).

I'm only eat gluten once a day and I'm only doing that until I know if the GI wants to do an endo. When I had the discussion with my Mom it was more of a "keep eating the same for lunch and the house will be gluten-free." After this...I'm thinking I just need to enjoy some toast and start making my lunches for work. I have a horrible, horrible fast food addiction...and I think it's better to work on that sooner rather than later.

 

I am actively refluxing, too. Not only do I have the hiatal hernia but I have some serious GERD. Like, I feel food in my throat an hour after I've eaten bad reflux. Today my body just said, "Nope, no way. I'm done with this nonsense."

but, I am confused. How long before the GI doctor makes up his mind about the biopsy? You can't keep being sick.

 

and yes, fast food is not good, celiac or not. :)

I have an appointment on Thursday to talk to him about my test results. I'm pretty sure they are negative (which means diddly squat).

 

I posted the results in another thread, here they are:

 

Immunoglobulin IGA 279 (I can't find a range for this...but it is listed under 'abnormal'

IGG 2 

IGA 5

tTG IGA 3

 

When I looked on the website for the interpretation it says: 

 

<20 units, negative

20-30 units, weak positive

>30 units moderate to strong positive

 

That looks negative to me. So I'll see what the doc says when we have a chat Thursday.

Well once you know. Then look on line and see what fast food places have Gluten free stuff. McDonalds has Gluten Free fries , So when I go out, if my friends want to stop at Mickey "D"s I get FF's and a soda. It doesn't seem like much but really I will never suffer on purpose. Or you can say, Nope I am done with Fast Food forever!! It is toxic to me and my body!! You can do it!! All that crap is not nourishing to your body. Take care of your self!! You are in control of you!! Sorry I tell my kids the same thing! Hope you feel better soon! Good luck!!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices...

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our...

      My chest pain has been caused by costochondritis, as well as times when iron supplements has given me such bad bloating it has put pressure on my back and chest, and reflux can do the same. Also, along the lines of Wheatwacked's suggestion above, is it possible you had an injury to your chest/ribs way back that is being set off by either some sort of gastrointestinal bloating/discomfort? I distinctly remember really hurting a rib over forty years ago when I misjudged a wall and thought it was just behind me but in fact it wasn't.  I fell badly against the wall and I think I cracked a rib then.  For some strange reason I didn't tell anyone but I think had I gone to hospital an X-ray...

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...
