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.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
