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...

I hate that feeling......

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.

EXACTLY....first thing in the morning....nausea and headache. And then I start the "oh not again!!!#@$%$%" thing..... :wacko:

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. :(

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
