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?

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!!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
