Are Their Any Prescriptions Remedies To Ease The Nausea?

My daughter is diagnosed as celiac but the DR. did not do the blood test. She has been on a gluten free diet since August. But, she is in college and sometimes while eating out gets gluten in her meals. She is then extremely nauseous the next day. Is there anything that can help stop the nausea? I know there are drugs to help pregnant women who are extremely sick. I am still learning about this disease.

I am a Diabetic with Celiac, who was just in the hospital for dehydration due to nausea. My dr. prescribed Reglan, and it did help. I don't know if he prescribed it because I am a diabetic, or if he would have prescribed it anyway - just to ease the nausea.

Cindy, thanks for your help. My daughter is going to study abroad and I am trying to figure out how she can be prepared for nausea. I will definitely ask about Reglan! :)

I never take any medications except when this happens, and I would have never believed it, but Pepto works SO fast and so well.

Dear Rose-NC,

I cannot handle Reglan. I had a very bad reaction to it. I take Promethazine (Phenergan). The downside is it does tend to make you drowsy! I have to watch when I take it. I cannot take it on days I need to stay awake for something, but if I can go ahead and sleep, I don't bother trying to go without it. If I get glutened, I have a severe gastro reaction. My reaction is quite violent. Promethazine is a godsend!

Sincerely,

Rose..

My oldest son is in college and he was able to get an apartment on campus (same price as the dorm) b/c the school could not provide him with a healthy gluten-free diet.. and it was affecting his studies. He roomed with 4 other guys.. but it gave him a kitchen to prepare his own foods.

Is there a chance your dd could qualify for something like that?

He also travels a lot.. and has been in 6 countries in the past 2 years.. Right now he is in Greece. He carries the language menu cards with him and always keeps a jar of p-nbutter, and a bag of pretzles (for dipping in it) with him.

Some places are great.. like when he was in Zimbabwe..they have No wheat in the country..

other places such as Greece where they eat Tons of bread.. are difficult..

feel free to pm me if you want to talk..

As for the nausea.. my son only takes tums or pepto..nothing prescription..

HOnestly if she i getting that sick..the university needs to meet her needs better.

Reglan is given a lot during chemotherapy, as is Compazine. I probably didn't spell it right.

Zofran is awesome if she can get some one to prescribe it for her. I would think YOu could find a doctor that would if he was compassionate enough. It is expensive, but there is a generic that came out now. It is give to cancer patients. It doesn't have the same drowsy side effect as the Phenergan. I have taken it and it works wonders!!

I bought the trimpgh dining cards that have the special needs written in like 5 different languages for differenct cuisines and I think I've been safe so far b/c they explain to the kitchen managers what you can and can't eat. I'm sure they would be very helpful for your daughter so she doesn't have to feel bad...we all can certainly sympathize.

I have taken Reglan for morning sickness and pre-Pregnancy took Phenegran whenever I was extremely nauseated or was glutened. Phenegran can be given orally, or in a suppository or iv- it has always worked great for me and I like to keep some on hand for emergencies so I don't end up dehydrated.

I think Reglan works by speeding up your digestive track- it has helped me a bunch now but I am not sure how effective it would be for glutening. I was given a prescription for it back when they thought I had IBS and it never seemed to be very effective- I took it for nearly a year. There is no harm in her trying both- hopefully something will work for her!

I see you are getting lots of information on this one but here is what I use. As other it would see. Promethazine Generic for Phenergan. It works real good and I would be lost with out it. Hope this helps.

Rose,

I found this thread while searching for something else, and you may have solved the problem for your daughter by now, but I just wanted to add my experience. I, too, get violently nauseous when I am glutened. A few times I've ended up in the emergency room and was given an injection which stopped the vomiting. They then gave me some suppositories to use if the vomiting returned. I've now used the suppositories for a couple of other bouts of vomiting (read "glutening") and am going to ask my doctor for more to have on hand, "just in case." There is also an over-the-counter syrup that can be helpful if the nausea has not yet led to vomiting. It is called Emetrol. I haven't actually checked it to make sure it is gluten free. Hope this help.

I second Zofran. When I was in the hospital, I was glutened many times and they gave it to my through my IV as much as I was allowed (every 2 hours I think.) Then I had a TERRIBLE reaction to a narcotic pain medication and was so nauseous I couldn't open my eyes (I REFUSE to throw up) and they gave me more zofran and it was amazing! I now got a prescription for it and I take it when i get glutened and it works miracles! B)

I chew on a lot of sugarless mint gum. Always have a supply in my pocket, at home, at the office, in the car, everywhere. If the nausea is bad, I could be taking one every 30 minutes. Also, I found that strong ginger tea helped. Usually they ae sweetened with sugar, so it is not good if you are diabetic. You can buy the ginger tea in Asian Groceries. I have found them made in Thailand or Indonesia.

I am lucky that I don't get nausea too often or very bad.

I use ginger tea for nausa. You can find ginger root at any food store and it's very inexpensive usually under a buck for a big piece of it. Keep it in the fridge or plant it for more. Cut off a piece about 1/2 inch thick and put it in a cup of water. Microwave for 2 minutes and let it steep for another 2 minutes. Put it in a garlic press and squeeze out the juice and scrape off the little pieces into the tea. Add some sugar or honey and drink it up. Be sure to swallow the little pieces as well. It works in just a few minutes. In a pinch you can use dried ground ginger 1/2 tsp or candied ginger too.

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg.

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
