Nausea

hi, guys! ok, now that i've heard from you on the running into stuff ;) the next thing i'm a tad concerned about is nausea. i'm completely gluten-free, in fact, i'd practically stake my life on the fact that no gluten is getting in. i've checked all cosmetics and i've only been eating stuff i know is ok. i don't smoke, and the nausea happens both when i'm on my period and off it (sorry for the graphicness!). that's all the factors i can think of... oh, and i avoid lactose and i have no gastro stuff going on.

one of my chief symptoms that led me to go to the dr. back in May was extreme nausea. it's no longer extreme, and i'm not too worried -- but if i thought about it, most of the time, i could be nauseated. i try to distract myself from thinking about it, though. it was actually pretty bad for about 3 days before Christmas, so i took Phenergan once or however you spell it, but it knocks me out so it's really not an option unless i just can't handle it. and now the feeling is just kind of hanging around... for example, i gag if i brush my tongue when i'm brushing my teeth, even without really putting the brush back there. sometimes i get nauseated in the middle of eating and i lose my appetite, or sometimes i suddenly get ravenously hungry and it happens then. i can't figure out a pattern! anyone else have this problem? thanks a million!

Ahh...welcome to my world. I was diagnosed with celiac disease back in August and have been on the gluten-free diet ever since. I assumed my nausea would dissappear as I continued the diet. I tend to get more nauseated around the time of my period. I asked my GYN about it and she said that it could be hormonal.

Around that time I was having food allergy testing done and soy came up as a food intolerance for me. I have since taken it out of my diet and I haven't been as nauseous! When I think back about my symptoms and when I had soy, the two went hand in hand.

I'm pretty new to celiac disease, so I'm not really sure which direction to point you in. For me it seemed to be food related. Keeping a food/symptom journal really helped me. I was able to review what I had eaten and when I was nauseous. Maybe that could help you.

thanks, Jen! i had stopped keeping my food journal back in Oct when most of my problems stopped... but i actually pulled it out this morning. :) hopefully i'll get this figured out soon. glad you were able to get to the bottom of it.

I have only been gluten-free since June, but I've been sick for about 20 years. Nausea and lightheadedness (anemia) were my main problems for most of that time. The D and other symptoms of Celiac kicked in around 2 years ago. There really was no pattern to the nausea, and back then, I was eating everything--no dietery restrictions. One thing that I have learned will cause severe nausea for me are eggs. About 4 hours after I eat them, I get horrible nausea that lasts for hours. I have it much less now but when glutened, I will still get it. I think nausea is the worst feeling of all--I hope you figure it out soon :)

I had mild nausea for I think eight months or so after going gluten free, then it started to get less, and now after 15 months it's completely gone, unless i get glutened.

Yes!!! I have a 15-year old son who was diagnosed last year with Celiac disease. He's very careful about what he eats, but he can't seem to shake the nausea. It has gotten better since he started his gluten-free diet, but it always seems to be there. He'll be starving, but before he's even 1/2 way through his meal will start to feel so nauseaus that he has to stop. It even makes it almost impossible for him to swallow pills. We've tried to figure out a pattern, but there doesn't seem to be any. He says he's just gotten used to feeling that way most of the time, but who wants to live life that way???!! I keep hoping that the longer he stays gluten-free, the better it will get. I don't know. I'll keep in touch and let you know if we make any progress or discover a reason for the nausea. Strange though it sounds, it actually helps to know that someone else is experiencing the same symptoms. Good luck to you!!

i thought the same thing! i hate to know that anyone else is nauseated, but it makes me feel less alone! :) i'm still struggling... sometimes it's worse than others but it is really complicating my eating schedule now that classes have started back... i can't eat much at the time, because i get nauseated and don't want to finish and then not long afterwards i start to feel like i'm starving and that is also nauseating! i can't figure it out. i'm doing the food journal and i can't pinpoint a trigger. the only thing i haven't tried is cutting out caffeine.. but at one coke or cup of coffee a day, it's hard to believe that would be the problem. :( please do keep in touch and let me know if you find anything that works!

Pauliina, i'm glad yours is gone!

Just a thought, But I am convinced that drinking or eating any aspartame makes me nauseated!. It may not happen for other people, but when I have any, I have nausea on and off. SO you may want to look into that. Aspartame is in a ton of foods, even gum. I am sure most people know it is in alot of stuff.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But...

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited
