Does anyone get nauseated when inadvertently ingesting gluten? I have nausea that comes and goes, yet at the same time I can easily eat. Weird

Yes! Before being diagnosed, I was feeling nauseous so often, without it preventing me eating as you say, that I did a pregnancy test! Definitely a symptom of glutening.

I have been sooo careful (but maybe not careful enough!) - Had a few days of no nausea, then whammo Can you still have nausea while you are healing?

I get nauseated a lot and it turns out I have reflux. My doctor told me that while 75% of reflux patients present with heartburn, the other 25% get nausea instead.

So, if you've never been checked for reflux, ask your doctor for some samples of Nexium. If it helps, you definitely have reflux.

Nausea was my first symptom, I think. I used to get it all the time.

Since I've been gluten-free, I still get it when glutened--it seems to come with the D.

I also get very nauseous when I have ingested gluten. I also get D. But I can also be hungry at the same time. Its really weird, but I just accept it as a symptom of glutening

Ever since I've been sick with Celiac I've had bad nausea issues, and for me even being totally gluten-free I still get it pretty bad! And of course it gets worse anytime I come in contact with gluten..

That is VERY interesting!!!! I posted in another topic about my "lack of" GERD symptoms. But, I'm always and forever dealing with nausea issues. I had no idea!!! I'm taking Prevacid, currently. And, I'm not as nauseated anymore, but I assumed it was a gluten issue. Not a reflux issue. Wow!

Nausea is the story of my life.... It has played a huge role in my wheat allergy..I seriously think if you are allergic to wheat you tend to have more stomach issues. I have been sick a very long time and as a result of vomitting I have a heatal hernia and its a lot like reflux but much worse. Once I start vomitting I trigger that hernia and am sick for days. Since being wheat/gluten free I have not had those symptoms unless I have eaten something. It sometimes has a delayed effect.

The one thing that I keep trying hoping to find one that doesn't nauseate me is B-vitamins. It gets me everytime. They say gluten free but still there is something in that vit. that gets me sick even smelling it.

I won't try anymore. I've bought so many brands. I just have to get them thru foods.

I also got nauseated drinking half a beer thinking it wasn't made from wheat. I thought barley was ok with me. Apparently not.

Live and learn.

I get horribly nauseated. The last time I got glutened I spent about 6 hours feeling like I had food poisoning.

Usually a couple of acetaminophen makes it better but I was too nauseous to swallow them.

Some people were saying that they get hungry and nauseous (odd combination) but I don't get that, I can't even think about food.

Thanks for all of your posts. Ya'll make me feel like I am not alone. I tried some Prilosec OTC yesterday and it seems to have helped. I have tested negative to the bug that causes stomach ulcers but I guess it could be another symptom of wheat intolerance. I hate the thought of having to take medicine the rest of my life. I would rather find some alternative solution, but if I can't oh well. I still don't know if I get nauseated b/c of wheat intolerance or some other issue. I have not been diagnosed but happened upon a book at the library re celiac and had virtually all of the symptoms so I eliminated wheat from my diet. It seemed to really help at first and then the nausea started. I think maybe I glutened myself, but I am not sure. So many things I don't know! It drives me nuts

The nausea could be continuing as your body adjusts to the diet. Nausea was (and now still is if I'm glutened) a symptom of mine. It got much better after going gluten-free, and then about 2-3 months after being gluten-free, I was nauseous for a straight month--it was awful. I couldn't eat and just felt miserable most of the time. Then, it went away. Now, nearly 2 years gluten-free, it comes and goes, but never like it was after I went gluten-free. So, maybe it's just your body adjusting, and hopefully it will go away. I've found that pure peppermint really helps, so I eat a lot (or drink it in tea) when I'm nauseous.

Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.

Dear Gaynonna,

I have dealt with debilitating nausea for years. Sometimes I got dry heaves so bad, it made my whole body hurt! Since going gluten-free, I have rough times, but I could have a yeast overgrowth in my system as well. I have been on numerous antibiotics over the years. The nausea is like morning sickness, but I knew that was not it, because I am a virgin! Of course, doctors think all women my age are sluts. That is so annoying. Anyway, I know what you mean. I am gluten intolerant, and must be extremely careful. I tested negative for Celiac, but found I do not tolerate gluten at all. I have reflux bad too, and the Prilosec OTC helps twice a day. Now, since going gluten-free, not only have I been able to lose inches in my hips and waist, but the reflux has gotten better. There were times it was so bad, I would practically sleep sitting straight up. You could be nauseated too due to the fact that you may be experiencing withdrawal from the wheat. It is common to be addicted to what you are allergic too. If that is the case, after you have avoided it long enough, it should go away. I take Phenergan when my nausea is too much to handle. It has a generic too, Promethazine. It is also gluten-free. I saw it on the okay list for meds.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl B)

I have been nauseaus for a year now and gluten free since the beginning of May, I am no longer convinced that my nausea is solely related to gluten intolerance. I am still looking for answers.

Dear rinne,

Have you stopped eating dairy? If not, that may be the trouble. Celiacs and gluten intolerant individuals often are sensitive to casien, a milk protein. It makes me a little gassy, but does not do near the damage gluten does for me. This varies from person to person.

Sincerely,

I think dairy may be part of the problem. Since I went gluten-free I have drastically reduced my dairy consuption but still occassionaly have milk. Cheese doesn't seem to bother me tho. I had a latte this morning and promptly got nauseated. It lasted about 5 hours. UGH I love lattes, but not that much. I am still not sure, but will dedicate several days dairy free and see what happens. I started taking prilosec (for nausea) and it seems to help. I think I am just beginning to learn how little it takes (gluten) to make me feel awful. Thanks for input

Dear gaynonna,

The casien in the dairy could be the trouble. The cheese could be bothering you, but you do not realize it. Delayed reactions with gluten intolerance is not uncommon, nor is it with other food sensitivities and allergies. Lattes have milk. Just a touch of the stuff is near deadly for many people. Gluten effects me much worse than dairy. I still try to avoid the dairy as well most of the time. Each person's body is different. I think you can get soy lattes. Check it out. Places like Starbucks are more health conscious. I hope this helps. B)

Sincerely,

I have been gluten free for six weeks, and I am mildly naseated every morning. (Yes, I'm sure I'm not pregnant.) It comes and goes from the time I get up until a hour or so after I get to work. I can eat breakfast without gagging. By lunchtime, I'm fine. I was nauseated at random intervals before going gluten free, but now it's very regular.

I get very nauseated when I try to workout. I never vomit, but I feel like I'm going to explode. Until that subsides, I'll just walk instead of doing a real workout. This symptom is new since I went gluten free.

Last week, I could swear that my friends' beer breath nausated me. The jury is still out on that one. But I felt bad while standing in the bar drinking my water, and I felt better when I left. LOL.

Remember that side effects of Prilosic can be nausea as well. I took that before Nexium and it made me horribly worse and more nauseated than I already was. I stopped the Prilosec and felt wonderful in comparison.

when I am really feeling sick I take Phenegran or Zofran, two prescription nausea meds, and they clear it up within minutes.

I never used to feel nauseous until I went gluten free, then for the first... about six months I'd say, I had nausea off and on that didn't seem to have any pattern, it just came and went on it's own. After the first six months I've only had it when I get glutened or caseined. :) So I figure in my case it had to do with the healing process...

Two home remedies that helped me were hot water or tea with cardamom, or the same with fresh ginger. Or both ginger and cardamom. It's yummy, too.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
