Its been just recently, but before bed i've been feeling like throwing up. It is every night. I don't know what is causing it. I usually get nauseous when i lay down, and it is only at night. I dont ever throw up though.

it could be. are you eating 100% gluten free? if not that could very likely be the cause. but how long has this been goin on for. if its just recently it could be a sign that you are getting a stomach flu. but that very same exact thing happened to me when i accidentaly get gluten, i feel sick at night.

yeah it might have something to do with coeliac disease. i spoke to a doctor about it and he said it has something to do with the digestion of food, and cause coeliacs bodies arent working all that well... a lot of ppl will feel really sick at night while all the food is processing... hope that helps i get it ,sucks so bad.

but yeah if your eating any gluten and your a celiac..you will feel sick.

It sucks to wake up suddenly at 4am, feeling like you are going to vomit. That would happen to me alot before diagnosis; I had to walk around for hours at night to calm myself down (like you, I have not actually thrown up *yet* from those 'feelings'). If I get badly cross-contaminated, that feeling at night returns. Nausea was, and still is, my biggest symptom.

I found that if I stop eating before 6pm, it would pretty much guarantee a symptom-free night. I know that is kinda early, but I was just so sick of feeling ill at night, it was worth it. Another thing: if I feel bad before going to bed, I try falling asleep first with my head and upper body 'raised'.. such as on a couch or propped up against a wall in bed, with a pillow. I know that helps with acid reflux, so maybe our symptoms are related to reflux, even though it's nausea.

Please get a good night's rest!

I know this is the teenangers section, but thought I might offer a suggestion anyway. If you are useing a toothpaste with flouride in it and you arent rinsing well after. That can cause you to feel sick or throw up.

Hey,

I'm 18 years old, and I have just been diagnosed with Celiac about a month ago. The doctor did a scope and he said that I have about 7 things wrong with my stomach. i have celiac, reflux, hietal hiernia, gastritis, and ulcers in my esophagus and stomach. I have also had that feeling when i lay down. I get almost like a tingling feeling in my head and throat. I have no idea what it is. The doctor told me to sleep on a wedge, so maybe you could try that. I've actually thought about sleeping in a recliner a few nights because i can't stand the nausea! I'm really knew to this celiac diet, so if anyone has any advice please let me know! :) Oh, and does anyone know what restaurants serve gluten free foods? The doctor told me that it's pretty much always safe just to get a steak and baked potato somewhere, but I love to go out to eat!

I know this is the teenaged section but the subject heading caught my eye. My son, 16, is having these same symptoms. A few months ago he was diagnosed with ulcers and I asked the dr. about celiac or gluten intolerance and the dr. said "that's a whole lot more effort" (to diagnose) and wouldn't do anything about it.

Have you all been tested or have you diagnosed by diet? Problem is, my son is a carboholic and won't go gluten free. I've been suspecting for a couple years that he's celiac. He also has hypoglycemia since very young childhood and went thru a few years of such horrible muscle cramping and bone pain that the dr.s thought he had bone cancer. He didn't but we still don't know exactly what the cause of the pain is.

Thanks for any information you can give me to help him. I wish you didn't have these problems but it also gives me another bit of the puzzle for my son's symptoms.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
