Vomiting With Celiac

I was just curious if anyone out there had vomiting as a major symptom of their celiac. I've read and understand that the symptoms are widespread (which is frustrating), but I've only seen one or two places that say vomiting sometimes occurs in children. I originally had an endoscopy b/c I was having "attacks" of V&D about once a week. They diagnosed with me Celiac - Marsh stage 3, yet my vitamin levels were sufficient and blood work was negative. I'm just not convinced and had no other symptoms. It's been 10 months since I've gone gluten-free and though I'm not vomiting anymore, I don't feel any other positive effects from the diet. Still tired, draggy and quite often bloated. I could go for a 2nd endoscopy, but I'm on the diet so that's not feasible. Colonoscopy came back clear. Thoughts?

Thanks!

You could go back for an endoscopy - to see if your villi damage has healed. If you had Marsh 3 damage, its pretty certain you have Celiac.

I think it would be well worth it to seek another opinion, in order to determine the cause of your symptoms. It could be something else going on.

Welcome!

Are you certain that you are 100% gluten free. Gluten can be very tricky and hide in the most unusual places. Could you getting bits of gluten from a used toaster, shampoos, lotions, lip balms, meds, vitamins...

Yes, vomiting was a part of my symptoms.

I threw up daily for 6 months before being diagnosed a few years ago. That was the first a primary symptom before I started to get DH. Sure dont miss it all. I'f i get gluten by accident I have other troubles now but since going gluten-free i've not thrown up again.

Just curious - you said your bloodwork was negative - do you mind me asking what range you were in - I think the tTg (TtG?) range is 0.0 - 20.0. My bloodwork was negative too but I'd like to have a biopsy to know for sure. It will likely be a very long time before that happens since my bloodwork is negative -but my symptoms have been lifelong, so who knows what it will show. It's hard to get in with a specialist here in Canada - can take a long time.

My guess is that you aren't vomiting any more because you have eliminated most gluten from your diet, but aren't 100% because you are still getting small amounts. I have been at this 11 months now and still keep getting small amounts. Lots of things that are supposed to be gluten free still have small amounts which make me sick. At our local support group the GI specialist speaker said that as small as 50 micrograms (not milli) can cause a reaction. That is a very tiny amount.

Thanks - I know the Marsh 3 is pretty definite but it confused me b/c all my blood work for vitamin levels, etc came back just fine. I had no weight loss despite the vomiting - so it's all a bit fishy to me.

Thanks for the response - I should double check. I've been pretty religious about the gluten (new toaster, hardly eat out at all, take my food everywhere). I haven't checked all of my makeup though. How frustrating....

TracyB - I'll have to get back with you. I can't remember my range and will need to dig up paperwork! I do know that negative bloodwork doesn't necessarily mean anything. And - especially if you have a history in your family..

My doc said that bloodwork is totally questionable and that the only true test is the biopsy.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
