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.

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      I'll answer your second question first. The single best antibody test for monitoring celiac blood antibody levels is the tTG-IGA and it is very cost effective. For this reason, it is the most popular and often the only test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease. There are some people who actually do have celiac disease who will score negatives on this test anyway because of anomalies in their immune system but your wife is not one of them. So for her, the tTG-IGA should be sufficient. It is highly sensitive and highly specific for celiac disease. If your wife gets serious about eating gluten free and stays on a gluten free diet for the duration, she should experience healing in her villous lining, normalization in her antibody numbers and avoid reaching a celiac health crisis tipping point. I am attaching an article that will provide guidance for getting serious about gluten free living. It really is an advantage if all wheat products are taken out of the house and other household members adopt gluten free eating in order to avoid cross contamination and mistakes.

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.
