Should I Feel Like This?

Today was day number three of the gluten free diet for me, and I am feeling very nauseated today, and also have had to use the bathroom three times today. That is really unusual for me, because I am usually pretty constipated for about a week, and then i will have diahrea for a few days, but today it was not diarhea, it was normal stool, but going more than once a day is unheard of for me. Is the nausea and using the bathroom a normal reaction to starting a gluten free diet? Or have I possibly missed something, and I am still getting gluten from somewhere? Anyone had a similar experience?

Yes this is normal. Congratulations on the normal stool, that's a sign you are getting better. There can be withdrawal, and/or a lot of ups and downs during the healing process. People on this site have told me that once you go gluten-free you get even more sensitive to gluten, although this may settle down someday (months to years).

Yes, you could be getting gluten. It is really hard to find all the sources! After a month of ups and downs, yesterday morning I realized my hair products all had wheat. I was getting small amounts in the shower and stuff (gets in your mouth when you rinse.)

Keep reading and searching this site and you will see lots of questions like yours and lots of good answers.

Hang in there! I'm just a bit ahead of you with my one month milestone today.

Yes I was nauseated for a month. You are having withdrawal and detoxing. You should be having 2-3 stools a day - that is good.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
