Problems With Vomiting

Does anyone have problems with vomiting?

I have been gluten free for over a year closer to 2. I have the flu right now so I am not counting the puking this week...but the last couple of months every time I get CC'ed *cross contaminated (even in my own house I have a mixed house hold and I am very clean but its nearly impossible to go Gluten Free and not get CC'ed with a 5 and 2 year old of which thinks food is a beauty product intended for use as head to toe body lotion)

I went o Denny's last week and even though I talked to my server and the manager I ended up making it half way home and pulling over to throw up in some chicken fast food restaurant (running inside with my son screaming get out of my way I'm going to vomit) WITH MY SON watching me - it was a bathroom without a stall. OMG I can't take it any more. I am beginning to wonder if I do not have some kid of dairy or casein allergy as well.

At this point I don't care, all food does is make me sick anyways. It's never pleasurable any more. I used to actually bake gluten free but I just couldn't keep that up. I am pretty darn skinny.... now all my friends always say something about my weight ! I hear "OH your so skinny", then I tell them why and they don't look like the believe me until they come to my house and see my split kitchen.

Wow after re-reading I see how frustrated I have become. Annoying.

My questions is: How can I find out if I am getting Cross Contaminated or if this is a new food allergy? I DON'T MIND mind BEING TESTED.

My diet consist of this:( Most days wit the exclusion of this week due to this vapid flu and simi constant vomiting)

Breakfast: Yogurt Gluten free Yoplait mixed with fresh strawberries and splenda and coolwhip (the cool whip only has milk as an allergen listed and the other ingredient are chemicals ( sick I know but it's my vice) sometimes if I need to gain some weight I put about a 1 tbs of PLAIN M&M's on top (this is my first meal and I usually am ok and don't throw this up)

OR

Gluten Free Rice Chex with Almond Milk and a 1/2 Banana or dried raisins on top. (never makes me sick)

Lunch:

Baby carrots raw, Broccolli raw, Celery Raw and some kind of protein like a boiled egg or turkey breast. Or cheese with Mixed Gluten free grains such as quinoa, brown rice, etc crackers. (which I have been throwing up) Sometimes fresh deli meat that has not been CC'ed I'm usually ok with that too.

Dinner Konjac noodles or Protien such as Turkey breat or lean beef or steak - Pork makes me puke lately. Chicken hurts my stomache now. Shrimp stays down and oddly enough so does tuna fish mixed with apples and boiled eggs.

I try to stay away from butter because fat is making my stomach purge itself. I never eat fast food like fries even from a dedicated fryer because I'm so afraid of being cross contaminated.

So anything high in fat makes me vomit. Is it possible to throw up from FAT?

Any kind of chocolate makes me vomit even GLUTEN FREE

IS it possible I am casein intolerant?

How could I become lactose intolerant an entire 1.5 years AFTER being gluten free. Is that possible? I never PURPOSELY eat it.

I don't think it's cross contamination because I tend to run a HIGH fever when I get cross contaminated I'm talking 104 or 102 with Tylenol. I'm not running a fever I'm just throwing up like mad. This confuses me because when I was first diagnosed I was throwing up so much my gums started receding and though I did not lose weight then, I am now alarmingly so....4 pounds in 4 days. I am having to eat CONSTANTLY to maintain a healthy weight (size 3 to 4).

Is this normal? When I still ate gluten b4 being diagnosed with celiac I was the kind that was constipated and gained weight very easily. Never skinny.

I also have Hashimotos Thyroid Disorder.

HeLp PlEaSe!!!!! :unsure:

I would drop the dairy and quit eating out for a while. If dairy is the issue the vomiting should stop. I would also talk to your doctor about this, not everything is gluten related and you may have something else going on. If you can make your home gluten free that would be ideal, your kids are young and most likely will not be bothered by eating gluten-free at home as much as you might think they would. I don't throw up with gluten but my DD did along with having a great deal of stomach pain.

Some folks also have an issue with the sugar replacements it might be helpful to also limit or drop those for a bit also. We often crave stuff that our body doesn't want or like and putting splenda on top of cool whip and M&Ms on an item that is already loaded with sugar like yogurt and berries is an awful lot of sugar in one sitting.

I'm not a doctor, but has your doctor checked out your gallbladder? It's supposed to help process the fat in our diets, and the nausea and vomiting sounds a lot like what I had until I finally got my gallbladder removed. Hopefully I'm not sending you chasing a red herring, but it really sounds like a gallbladder issue; even if it's not, your doctor needs to know what's going on so you can start fixing it. Also, since your little ones don't understand CC, you might need them gluten-free for a while until they figure out the concept of CC, just so they don't make you ill.

Keep a food journal. Note the time of ingestion, mood/symptom check with time.

By the way, I tend to vomit iron (supplements and foods with a higher iron content like RAISINS) I also have Hashi's. Vomitting the iron could be a symptom of Perniscious anemia, but I have to find a doctor capable of proper testing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
