You absolutely do not have to be vomitting to be celiac/gluten intolerant.

Just take a look around this board . . . such a wide variety of symptoms here!!! . . . and vomitting isn't even mentioned all that often.

In my end stage, vomiting was one of my symptoms, but it is less common than other symptoms. You absolutely can have celiac disease and not vomit.

At the other end of the scale, my journey though celiac hell included (more than once) the experience of sitting on the toilet with uncontrollable diarrhea whilst simultaneously vomiting into a bucket. icon8.gif

Vomiting absolutely is NOT one of the main symptoms. It just isn't. The only time I've vomited from POSSIBLE gluten ingestion was well after I went gluten-free, and I can't be sure that was from gluten. And before I was diagnosed, I was just about as sick as one could get from celiac without dying.

As waves of nausea, reflux and sour stomach takes over me, I can trace it back to ingesting gluten.

Also, with severe constipation, vomiting would not be unusual.

Celiac Disease has over 200 symptoms and those with gluten intolerance they may vary.

EVERYONE is different.

As everyone has stated, vomiting is not necessarily a Celiac symptom.

For years, my only symptoms were anemia and nausea. I never vomited, though. Save for a couple bouts of stomach virus and during pregnancy, I have never vomited as a result of my Celiac. I do get nauseated sometimes, though.

Some do--it's highly individual :)

Definitely not a required symptom. I wouldn't even say it's one of the more common symptom. This is a reaction in the intestines, NOT the stomach.

I have had vomiting or nausea AFTER I went gluten free and was glutened, not before.

I have read that it is like that with a lot of other people, but a lot do not have that as symptom of glutening.

In europe, lots are diagnosed by screening relatives of celaics, and lots and lots of celiacs never had any symptoms at all. Many of them do not have any symptoms when glutened either.

They just have villous atrophy when they are biopsied, even severe so, without symptoms....and often they have anemia, low b-12, low D, osteopenia, etc.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
