Dizzy With Nausea

I used to have bad dizzyness especially if I stood up too soon, after managing low blood sugar levels and treating the candida problem it was still there (but the brain fog was gone)

It turned out I just had low blood pressure and my doctor got me to add salt to my diet ( which I had never eaten as I had bad kidney disease as a child and was put on a salt free diet) I added salt (just a sprinkle at meals, I still don't cook with it) and now have no problems, and my kidneys have stayed fine.

Also because I had never eaten salt I never thought of myself as being on a salt free diet so he just assumed i ate it

Sometines it takes a bit of detective work but a good doctor helps.

Guys, I am in nursing school and I thought I would tell you the "norms" for BP.(blood pressure) 120/80 is considered normal, anything below is considered "hypotensive" which means, low blood pressure. Doctors dont usually freak until its below 80/50 or so, and a lot of people run high or low due to many things, including thyroid function. You should always let a doctor know if your pressure reads something other than normal for you, but keep in mind it can run high or low just because of the time of day. Mine tends to run low too, unless you are dizzy or nauseous, no worries. Hope that helps a little.

Louie,

Your story sounds familiar...I've had kidney problems (mainly just a lot of infections) too, so when I was a teenager I really got into super healthy eating and cut out almost all salt, sugar, processed foods etc. Then I was getting really light-headed after that, and my doctor told me to start salting my food. :D It's funny how sometimes we think we are being so good to our bodies and we are actually doing them harm. I used to buy whole grain everything!! My friends used to jokingly call me granola girl...not a great nickname for a celiac ^_^

I went to the herbal shop in town this morning and they gave me something new to try- peppermint/fennel pills and some homeopathic pills with ipecacuanha that dissolve under the tongue. well here goes another try.....

thanks for the continuing advice everyone!!

Since I began taking Nexium early this week my nausea has subsided substantially.

I am also a little less shaky.

I still feel odd sometimes...like something is not right, but I don't know what it is. Maybe anxiety.

My thyroid and blood work came back normal..so it's not that!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.
