That is not normal for Celiac.  She should see a doctor and consider that she might have something in addition to Celiac wrong.

I would consider something else, many with this disease develop other food intolerance issues. In these cases if we eat said trigger foods our bodies puke it up. Best thing to do if this is the case is a food diary, you keep track of everything you eat. You also need to go on a food elimination diet (please google) and remove all processed foods going to whole foods only eating only 2-4 ingredients a meal including spices, sauces, oils, etc. This way you can very quickly track down triggers.
In some cases it can be something else like the way the food is fixed, or something consumed or drank with a meal causing digesting issues like extra tannin preventing proteins from breaking down, high histamine foods triggering a histamine response, high lectin foods triggering the vomiting via lectin intolerance.
Heck I still can not eat high fatty foods, animal fats, animal meats, and some tough foods without digestive enzymes which could be another issue she could consider. If you lack the enzymes to break down proteins, fats, carbs, etc. Your going to vomit them up hours after the meal since you can not break them down.
There is also a various causes for gastric emptying, where say you eat a meal high in protein, fats, or tough solid foods, or a trigger food (for me garlic, onions, and certain spices) in certain amounts might cause your stomach not to dump to the small intestines, Depending no the issues dietary changes, supplements, surgery can fix this but you need to talk to a doctor about these issues.
Do you need post on intolerance, allergies, and enzyme issues?  I posted in the past and can dig them up for you for relevance sake.

One last thought, many celiacs do not quite get the whole 100% gluten free thing and think eating out, the occasional gluten, or shared environment with gluten eaters is safe. Trace amounts of gluten still getting into the system can trigger reactions also.

PS one other thought, constipation, is very common with this disease, if your low on magnesium and do not go daily with a BM you can get backed up....with no where else to go meals can be puked up as they can not go down. I used to have this issue with extreme issues. And found drinking a hot beverage with magnesium citrate, (Natural Vitality Calm) a hour or two before a meal will get my system moving. This fixed my morning vomiting issues I started having years ago where it seemed my tract bogged down at night and could not handle breakfast in the mornings.

has to make sure  she is really 100% gluten free and NO CHEATING.

I threw up every day for 6 months  until they  figured out it was  celiac. Three days  after that I was ok again.

you mentioned the environment thing.. she’s with family members in the house and they still all eat gluten. but when making her food hands are washed, and all foods are kept seperately. she doesn’t FEEL glutened, just always pukey and sometimes even puking. more like dry heaving? i guess

She should rule out active celiac disease (gluten in her diet) with a follow-up antibodies test.  This should be done a few months after the initial diagnosis and then yearly with her GI.

If her antibodies tests have returned to the normal range, her doctor can look for something else as the cause if her current vomiting.

Some can live in a shared environment if proper steps are taken, like having dedicated gluten free cookware, dedicated area for fixing gluten free foods, avoiding using fresh flour like etc. Others like me and some others here, had to move out as relatives could not comprehend sensitivity and constant mistakes made us constantly sick til we had to move to a dedicated gluten-free home/kitchen.  Shared condiment jars with double dipped spoons/knife used on gluten foods, touching gluten foods with hands or utensils then touching gluten free food, scratched pots/pans, shared toasters, crumbs on prep counters, air borne flour. are all common issues with CC.

You mention no symptoms...puking is one...there are over 300 symptoms to this disease and it manifest differently in everyone. Level of exposure, sensitivity, etc. also effects our reactions and it constantly changes. Funny thing is, one crumb can set off a antibody reaction for weeks, up to months. Initial reactions normally last a day to a few weeks, but damage and others symptoms can take longer as the antibody reactions go down. This disease, your body mistakes the gluten protein (smaller then a germ) for something dangerous to the body and produces antibodies and goes on a rampage, It will normally attack our intestines, but can and will attack other areas. This causes the internal damage and leads to many other possibilities for complications. And your body will keep producing antibodies even after the gluten is gone to make sure it is. Gluten being a protein, not a germ is not destroyed by soap, antibacterial soap, or bleach. Think of it like trying to destroy blood where a CSI tech can not find it with their lab kit -_-. On the same note you can decontaminate something with a 500F oven self cleaning cycle.

I ended up with gastroparesis which causes delayed gastric emptying. Look into this as well. I ended up severely sick with this , not sure if celiac caused this but I have both. Chronic nausea and vomiting. Can not take any medications/supplements bc they do not leave my stomach quickly enough and build up toxicity very quickly.  There is a test that can be done for this done by GI. You have to eat something while being x-rayed/scanned, takes about 4 hours.

Excellent suggestion!  ?

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
