Vomitting With Gluten Ingestion?

My daughter has been gluten-free for almost 8 months now, and is very good about knowing what she can and can't eat, as well as always asking before eating anything (since she is the only one gluten-free in our House). She has had 3 accidently ingestions over the months and we alway know when b/c she vomits profusely. NON stop for hours. Thank goodness I am an ER nurse and have a great supply of anti-emetics at home, car, and camper, just in case. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there that had a kiddo with this same response??? I have only read about stomach pain, or diarrhea, but never the vomitting. Thanks for any input. :D

Hi, sorry about the glutening.

yes, many celiacs present with vomiting. I didn't save the source, but I once read that it is especially common for kids to present atypically. in any case, it stood out in my mind because vomiting was my son's *only symptom.

If we didn't have a confirmed celiac already in the house, we probably could have gone on for years thinking my son got lousy stomach viruses.

Just curious, what do you use for an anti emetic? I didn't even know you could buy anything like that OTC. I remember my doctor used to give me a med called Tigan but I eblieve that is no longer being marketed. (I am asking this for myself, not for my celiac). Anyway - hopefully you won't need them too much in the future. Congrats on going 8 months successfully. heidi

For small cross contamination, my son does not vomit - only bad attitude and diarrhea. But if he gets a lot he'll vomit. Before diagnosis he was vomitting every few days. And my daughter now will throw up whenever she eats gluten (she's only a year and a half so stopping her from eating someone else's goldfish crackers when my back is turned is not always possible). It's a small amount, luckily for us.

My daughter is the same way. Last time she had a big gluten accident, poor bug was vomiting for about three hours. Oddly enough, she doesn't get diarrhea afterward, just the profuse vomiting. She'll also run a high fever the next day, it's gone as high as 104. But if it's a small accident, she'll just get cranky and tired.

My DD does vomit, but only 2 or 3 times. My other DD does not.

Vomiting might be a good thing in this case, it might get rid of most of the gluten. Not fun, but could reduce long term effects I would think. Plus it will DEFINITELY encourage her to stay gluten-free :D

My dd also vomits when she accidentally gets glutened. It, also, goes on for hours. Her celiac testing was inconclusive by the allergist. But since going gluten-free, it only happens now once in a while when she accidentally gets something.

I am 49 now, and looking back, I see that I have had a variety of symptoms at different times throughout my life. One of the most disturbing was in my early twenties, when I would wake up burpng a sulfur taste that was identical to the taste of hard boiled eggs. This would go on for most of the day, and every single time, I would start vomiting over and over again. It wasn't the flu. I would get it probably every three to four weeks, and the cycle went on for months. It was horrendous.

Hi.

This is what happened to me yesterday. I vomit so may times none stop until everything was out.

After that experience I was better.

Is very hard for me to vomit. I take it as another wonderful give from Celiac.

Best regards.

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
