Yes, for me it is anyway. I was nauseated much of the time in the months before being diagnosed. Nausea is one of my symptoms when I accidentally eat gluten and I usually vomit a few times in the first few hours of the reaction.

If you're vomiting, make sure you're staying hydrated. I find drinking water is almost guaranteed to make me feel sicker when nauseated so I usually suck on ice cubes and sip on Pediatyle or even better, suck on frozen Pedialyte.

If you're nauseated even when you haven't accidentally consumed gluten I would look into the possibility of another food intolerance or condition in addition to Celiac.

I spent many years being nauseated (amongst other issues) and not realizing why - I thought it was stress. It's also one of my tell-tale signs now along with mouth ulcers when I've had a little cc issue.

Yes, nausea was my warning symptom to look for the nearest bathroom, quickly!

I was a little bit nauseous before I was diagnosed, but now that I've been gluten-free about 6 weeks, I've definitely noticed that I get really nauseous if there has been some cc. I start feeling really nauseous about 1.5 - 2 h after I eat something bad. it's also a warning sign to me too now that I should make sure a bathroom is nearby.

For many years, my main symptoms were persistant anemia and nausea. Once diagnosed and on the diet, the nausea lessened to the point that I only get nauseous now if glutened.

Extreme nausea. And my very first symptom. In fact, throwing up became daily habit. Sadly, when I was a college student I was accused of being bulimic by my roommates and worse by the campus doctor. I was a very broke college student and one who never went to the doctor, but I was so tired of getting sick all the time and finally made an appointment. I really had no other symptoms at that time to share with the doctor, so the doctor told me I must be bulimic. I was so discouraged by a doctor accusing me of being bulimic it took me years and years to go back to a doctor with all the other symptoms I began having. Nearly 20 years after that horrible experience with the Campus Doctor, I was diagnosed with Celiacs.

Really??? Quite a bad experience for you.....It is really disapointing how often doctors can be wrong and jump into conclusions. I understand they are humans too and they make mistakes but their damage can be really serious sometimes (of course we all say a big thanks for all these great doctors who offer their help and have saved lifes). Any way I hope now - that you are not ....bulimic......!!! -you feel more comfortable visiting a doctor....I never thought that there were people who were misdiagnosed for so many years....Amazing....

Since you had the same horrible feeling of nausea I would like to ask you something....Is there any chance that nausea exists after beeing gluten free??? Or it is strictly related to eating gluten...I know from experience that many other symptoms may keep on for weeks. Is that the case for nausea? Because if it appears only right after eating gluten, and when you stop eating gluten nausea stops too then I must be doing something wrong cause it's been over a week from my last accident with gluten and I am still sick 1-2 hours after eating. Maybe it's one of my other intolerances...

IM like 30 days gluten free but every couple weeks I seem to gte poisoned cause I satrt to get lazy about what I eat...but after my last experience I swore I would never eat gluten again.

So its been about a week since being poisoned and I feel healthy overall i can do my evening push up and exercises after a 14 hour shift. But in the morning its a given to feel nauseated! I also feel nasueasted a bit somtimes throughout the day. Peppermint helps a bit. I hope this feeling goes away the more i recover.

I have had issues with nausea, which seem to be related to gluten, but also blood sugar issues as well. Now, how it plays together I am not sure. However, I have had a horrible time in the past with nausea when I wait too long to eat and my blood sugar gets too low or if I eat too much carbs or sugar- this seems to be exacerbated by the gluten issue though.

I had nausea for more than twenty years and was always told it had to be stress... Then I found out that, besides the celiac disease, I had a dysfunction of the pancreas. I don't digest fat and carbohydrates because I don't seem to produce the enzymes. Now I'm taking pancreas enzymes before eating and the nausea has gone completely. You might check that as well because dysfunction of the pancreas seems to be related to celiac disease very often.

Hope you will recover soon! Nothing is worse than nausea.

Hi

When I posted (I think it was on march) I really had nausea all the time. Now, I don't have it any more!!!. My doctor said it was malabsorption (I also had bad body odour and I was losing weight despite my huge appetite and the huge amounts of food I was cosnuming).

Now all these are gone, I've put on some weight, I eat like a human and not like an elephant and nausea is gone!

But thank you for the info, I guess I have to keep it in mind. You never know what is next........

Meline,

I am glad that your Nausea has finally gone away. Before I was diagnosed I jokingly called my nausea morning sickness, because the first thing I would have to do when I woke up was to throw up. I could not eat anything for several hours after I got up or it would just come back up. This was a daily thing. It got much worse when I was put on prescription Motrin for my arthritis. Then I felt sick most the time. When they finally diagnosed me with Celiac Disease the symptoms took about six months to clear up. But I still can not eat anything for several hours after I wake up. I think it weekend my stomach or something and that has never fully healed. And it has been 14 years now since I was diagnosed. Nausea i the morning is still one of the first symptoms I get if I have an accidental exposure to gluten. I might go a whole day not even knowing that I was exposed. But the next morning my body tells me that I have been and then other symptoms start and this can last up to a week.

You may check for hypoglycemia. I too get very sick and throw up after having gluteen but I also throw up if I have sugar without having protein.

I see....ok!!! thanx. But I still have that feeling even though I am gluten-free for weeks....I'll have to check fo something hidden maybe

Thank you so much for your follow up post. It gives me hope. My daughter is about 5 weeks gluten-free and still nauseated much of the time. :(

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult. Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat.

      Low iron/high normal haemoglobin

      V. interesting. It might well explain the tiredness, and the increased headaches, then. I'm trying to get my TTG numbers down a bit by avoiding eating out. Hopefully then if I've healed more I guess I will be able to absorb more iron. Will find out at the next blood test in the autumn. Thanks so much for your help.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By RMJ · Posted

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult.  Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat. Before my celiac diagnosis I already watched out for my cholesterol level and migraine triggers, but those are much easier than diabetes restrictions. One “bad” meal isn’t that much of a problem for cholesterol levels, and my migraines only happened if I consistently ate the triggers. After many years I’ve figured out how to bake gluten free but I think many recipes have more starch which wouldn’t work for diabetes. If you go with the elephant eating analogy, I think the first portion to work on would be the diabetes, since the immediate consequences of not being careful (passing out from low blood sugar, or diabetic coma from high blood sugar) are so severe. The next portion would be celiac. The serious consequences aren’t as immediate, but if you have celiac disease, I think of eating gluten like a booster shot - revving up the immune system, but to attack yourself leading to long term damage. It sounds like you are experiencing this damage now. I did a google search on “gluten free food for diabetics” and a number of sites with advice came up.  If your insurance will cover it and you can find one, a registered dietician who knows about both diabetes and celiac disease might help you figure out what to eat safely. Hopefully my post will both scare and encourage you, as requested, with a big dose of compassion because this sounds very difficult and you are clearly suffering.

The key point is that a whole, big problem can seem insurmountable but if you break it into bite-sized pieces it is much easier to accomplish. Here is the google description. It's not bad: If you're facing a daunting goal, you can use these steps to "eat your elephant": Identify the Elephant: Clearly define the large project or goal that feels overwhelming. Break it Down: Divide the major task into smaller "bite-sized" pieces. If a piece still feels too big, break it down further. Prioritize: Decide which "bite" to take first based on necessity or impact. Focus on the Now: Instead of worrying about the whole animal, focus only on the single step you are taking right now. Maintain Consistency: Progress comes from taking the "next right step" every day until the task is complete. Celebrate Small Wins If I understood Ginger38's post correctly, you are facing the prospect of a gluten challenge, but you are already eating gluten on an intermittent basis. It also sounds like many of the symptoms you attribute to gluten consumption are in full expression. Step back and take a deep breath. Get a notebook and start a gluten-related diary. Don't try to make it perfect; just record what you can about food intake and what you experience as you go along. Talk to your Dr's office (nurse, Dr, whomever) about the challenge. The most rigorous challenge is for someone who has already gone truly gluten free but now needs a clear diagnosis. Someone who is already eating gluten should not need as much "challenge". Even at that, google describes an example challenge as 1-2 slice of bread or 1/2 cup of pasta a day. If that describes your existing diet you are already there. For the moment, try to focus on getting past the challenge and test. Once you have the results, start planning accordingly.

They might, but they also might be under tremendous time pressure and not get to it. Two other suggestions: if your healthcare provider has a web portal, sign on and search for "gluten challenge". They may have a standard page and Dr assumed you would find it on your own. If that doesn't work, call the Dr's office and ask the office for their official advice. You probably wouldn't need to speak to the Dr directly. There should be some nurse or staff member who could answer that

      Gluten challenge - Need some guidance

      By Xravith · Posted

      After few months going gluten free, I decided to reintroduce gluten in my diet so I can do a proper diagnosis for Celiac disease. During the gluten free period I felt incredibly good. I stopped having hypoglycemia symptoms, I gained some muscle (Still, I am considerably underweight) and my anxiety totally disappeared. I felt totally like a new person. Now, I almost reached the second week of gluten challenge and all my symptoms are progressively coming back. The first days I was ok, just a bit of acid reflux I could control with medicines. However, after the first week I started to feel real stomach pain and tiredness, my face is growing acne and sometimes (specially when I walk) i feel painful migraines.  I am afraid If I am eating too much gluten or not enough, the "4 slices of bread" indication confuses me. I am actually eating 20 g of bread, 3 biscuits and 40 g of croissant each day. My doctor was not very specific when he gave me the medical order for the gluten challenge, so I invented my own daily gluten menu. Do you have any suggestions? 4 weeks will be enough to do the blood test with my current gluten intake?  Thank you
