Nausea

I went to a celiac camp in Northern CA and it was amazing! The only problem was that day 2 I woke up at 1 in the morning so nauseous that I couldn't sleep. After getting the Dr. on campus with us, I was given Antacid which made me way worse. Then I waited 5 hours for him to get me so Zofran (anti-nausea med) which helped, but I have been taking it every 6 hours since then. I am so afraid to go off the medication.

Earlier that night I took Vicodin at about 7 (15 minutes after dinner) then it didn't work, so I took another one at about 9 with a little more food. I also took my birth control pill. The only thing the Dr. thought it could have been was the vicodin, but I was hospitalized and was given 2 every 4 hours for about 6 days straight and never had a reaction like this. I got so pale you couldn't tell I had lips! :huh:

I guess after ranting, could this be Celiac related? Or does anyone know what it could have been? The only time I have ever been this nauseous was when I reacted to Dilaudid (narcotic pain med in the hospital). Should I go to my doctor? I am too afraid to go off the medication.

Thank you for any advice!

Hi, this might sound strange, but at the previous time that you took Vicodin and didn't react, were you on birth control pills as well? I've seen interreactions that are unpleasant before. That, and it's always possible to develop a new problem with a drug that you didn't have a problem with before. What was the Vicodin intended to treat?

Hey,

I did take my birth control pill with the Vicodin (not at the same exact time...about an hour apart). The thing is I have been on BC and the Vicodin for at least 2 months. The doctor at camp said that it could have been from the vicodin because it can relax your esophagus and cause acid reflux. I don't know though.

The reason for the vicodin is a herniated disc and sacroiliac joint problems. It was REALLY bad at camp so I took a few over the few days there, but stopped once the reaction happened.

Do you think it's possible that it was a bad reaction of the two meds? Is that possible?

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
