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?

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
