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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
