Nausea?

Hi all,

Like I said I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease last tuesday so have been on the diet for 3 days. I still feel nauseous and was wondering when I should start to feel better?

It depends on the damage, could be days, weeks or even up to months for the symptoms to go away, just be careful you're not eating anything that might be crosscontaminated.

Could you possibly have acid reflux? That often presents with nausea. Check with your doctor; a little Nexium can take care of it quickly. That was the case for me.

Hi,

I don't believe cross-contamination is a problem. I cook my own food, and make up my own lunch to take to work. I feel fine all morning, then, as the afternoon goes on I just feel more and more nauseous. Thats been my pattern for the most part, but I just figured that when I started eliminating gluten from my diet I would immediately feel better. Guess it doesn't work like that.

Best,

Mike.

Mike,

When I get nauseated I take the less drowsy Dramamine and it seems to work very well for me. Sometimes if I have indigestion too, I will take Pepto Bismol, but I don't take that very much.

It will probably take longer then 3 days to feel better. I would at least give it a few months even. I felt better within a few days, but not perfect.

Also, reflux does seem to cause nausea in some people. Nexium could be an option.

It varies from person to person and depends also on the damage done to the intestines, I'd say in a few days you will feel much better, it took me about 5 days to get my appetite back, but the nausea was gone by the 3rd day.

You can't expect changes overnight...it takes time to get the damage and it takes time to heal. It took me like 8 months to really feel better but people vary depending how much damage there is to heal. Nausea was my main symptom so if you want you can PM me and I can give you the names of some of the things I used for nausea.

Hi Mike

I was diagnosed mid October so am over 7 weeks gluten-free now & feel great. My main symptoms apart from the exhaustion were sickness & diarrhoea with horrible nausea. On going gluten free, I felt really good for 2 or 3 days, but then the nausea came back & lasted for about a week. The great news is that it should go away & your appetite should come back too (if it hasn't already as your post was a few days back)

I also saw your post re sensitivity & that's one I'm really unsure about. Pre diagnosis I had such violent reactions to gluten for about 8 weeks, and in the first couple of weeks I definitely inadvertently had gluten with the same type of reactions, but for about 5 weeks now I have had no real reactions apart from some itching & in some cases the mouth ulcers again. I'm sure I have had some hidden gluten somewhere (I forgot & put malt vinegar on my chips for instance), but am pleasantly surprised that I've not had a horrible reaction. That said, i would like to know if I have had gluten in something so I could avoid it in the future.

Anyway, hope you continue to feel better

Kate

Nausea was my only symptom as well and I have been gluten-free for about 3 weeks now. I can go for 5 days feeling fine and then it hits me again. I've heard from all the nice people on this site that it is normal and it may just take a while to heal. You should check EVERYTHING and make sure their is no gluten in it. I just noticed last night that my shampoo had wheat in it and I have to now change that too! Hang in there...it will go away. Also, my Dr. has me taking promethazine it helps a bunch! Maybe that is something you could look into.

      This video is extremely informative and explains why I still get sick when I eat these so called gluten-free processed foods. I make every effort to stay away from all processed foods.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

UNMMMMM. I don't want it, its been my life confirmed in 1994.Menopause intensified extra sensitivity and medical has down played my sibo, ibs, CELIAC, now im having skin and eye issues. I thought help was available but its been a complete medical disaster.

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana
