Nausea When Glutened?

I am still getting tested to see if I actually have celiac. I had the blood test and I was IgA deficient so Im seeing a GI soon. My symptoms since going gluten free myself are evolving and are never the same 2 days in a row.

Last night I tried some gluten, as my doctor recommended I be glutened for seeing the GI so he can properly diagnose me. I had half a bowl of honey nut cheerios and started to feel weak and tired and my heart starts pounding a little heavier, all of this which I've experienced before but, just before bed I develop nausea! I managed to fall asleep for an hour with gravol, and woke up feeling nauseous still! took me 2-3 hours after that to fall asleep and now that Im up this morning I don't feel nauseous but I have a bad headache.

Could all this be due to the gluten?

Also I have severe anemia right now that's crippling me and keeping me out of school!

This is all just horrible, I was eating anything and drinking and partying a month ago and I've fallen apart!

Yes, nausea is a symptom of Celiac. For a year before I was diagnosed, I would have my 2 slices of whole wheat toast for breakfast and then by the time I left for work, I felt like I was suffering from morning sickness. I was nauseous A LOT. It's been almost 4 years gluten-free for me and I am never nauseous now!

Good luck and feel better soon!

Yes, nausea can definitely be caused by the gluten!

I was nauseous so often before going gluten free that my doctor thought I was pregnant.

The nausea disappeared after taking gluten out of my diet.

I went undiagnosed for years and up until the year before I was diagnosed all I had was persistant anemia and nausea. I can't tell you how many times I ran out of places because I was afraid I was going to vomit.

Even now if I get accidently glutened, I get nauseous for a couple of days.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
