Gagging?

OK...so I'm pretty new at this. I'm recently diagnosed and am trying extremely hard to be gluten free (not the easiest thing in the world to do!), but I am finding myself gagging constantly?? Is anyone else experiencing this? Or could this be a separate issue altogether? I don't have to have anything in my mouth at all - I'm sitting here at work typing and gagging for no apparent reason?!?!

I personally believe that gluten not only damages the small intestine, but any tissue it comes into contact with. Perhaps you have suffered some sort of damage that has effected your gag reflex. I suggest you go see an ENT (ears, nose and throat) specialist for an examination to ensure something else isn't going on there.

I don't really gag that much but I definitely am nauseated a lot more since going gluten-free. I think my body is trying to adjust to this huge change. So far I'm dealing with it pretty well. We'll see if it subsides....

I also have a problem with gagging but I'm not sure if it has something to do with gluten contamination or something else altogether.

My gagging began with my symptoms about 6 years ago and has disapeared over the last month or so, I'm 100 days gluten-free. It was worst in the morning, coughing and when brushing my teeth and got worse and worse as time went on. It was one of the symptoms that really bothered me at the end. My gagging was clearly related to injesting gluten.

      Some Celiacs react to the dairy protein Casein the same as they would to gluten. This could explain your ongoing inflammation.   Allergies can raise your histamine levels as can processed gluten free products.  To clear histamine, certain vitamins can help, B12, Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and Thiamine B1.   Optimal Vitamin D levels are between 80 and 100.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Seems like addressing nutritional deficiencies would be beneficial to you.  Blood tests aren't accurate measurements of the stores of vitamins inside cells in the tissues and organs where they are utilized.  Blood levels of vitamins can reflect what you've eaten in the past day or two.   Processed gluten free foods do not have vitamins added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  Vitamins are chemical compounds our bodies cannot make, so we have to get them from what we eat.  The gluten free diet can be short in some vitamins and minerals, so supplementing can be beneficial, especially since you're still having inflammation.

      @Jmartes71, What a stressful journey!  I'm so glad you found your way here.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms.  Which supplements are you taking?  Just herbal ones or vitamins?

      Do you consume dairy? Have you recently had an infection or cold? Do you have digestive symptoms?   Do you eat processed gluten free foods? What is your Vitamin D level?

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      @lizzie42, How are your daughter's bowel movements?  Does she have gas, diarrhea or constipation?  Does her squeezing feeling move around in her abdomen or is it consistently in one spot?  Is she dehydrated? How much fruit does she eat?  Fruit juices? I'd recommend cutting out the cheese for a while, till you get it sorted.
