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.

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
