Hi, I wish I could help you, but Im looking for some answers myself. Im almost 3 weeks gluten free and I had been feeling great, now only having one bowel movement a day, no gas/wind, no tiredness, no headaches, no feeling sick and no low moods. However in the last few days, say 4 Ive started to feel nauseus again and its getting me down. Ive also not been able to gain weight. My dietician asked me to drink chocolate soya milkshake everyday and I have done for about 8 weeks. Ive not gained a lb. I eat good amounts, never go hungry, eat plenty of meat, veg,fruit, potatoes, rice,nuts etc and also have gluten free pasta/bread.

I feel like Im actually losing weight bodily, my stomach/waist seems to be shrinking, even if the weight on the scales is only less 1lb or stays the same. I cant seem to get above 7 stone. Im still losing my hair.

My dietician has said to my gp that he hopes they diagnose me with coeliac based on the blood tesr results and previous history of symptoms and change in diet, but if they dont I should still stay clear of gluten for the sake of my future health.

I just dont understand what is going on. Ive made sure Im consuming no gluten at all and that nothing is cross contaminated.

I hope you find out what is going on.

Hi to the both of you! Starting our gluten free is a huge learning curve and the body goes through crazy things while healing. To the first poster - I had the same nausea and they think it is a small bowel infection, I just completed a two weeks course of antibiotics, which caused more nausea, but hopefully this week we will see improvements. Or it could be some other sort of allergy/response to something. Who knows - the guts are mysterious and everyone's responds differently.

To the second poster - I had trouble gaining weight in the beginning and finally, after almost 6 months gluten free I have gained back the 20 lbs!! This is huge for me and a good thing. I was too thin to begin with. I can't say there was any one thing I ate or did to help gain the weight. It just took time and more time. I had lots of advice to eat highly caloric foods, but that didn't seem healthy to me. So I ate good healthy foods, added some new nuts and vegetables and ate all day. While healing, my body was constantly hungry, although I wasn't gaining weight. Then, BAM! It just started to happen and now I'm a healthy weight.

It takes a long time to do damage to our bodies with Celiacs - it takes a long time to heal.

Hi there,

For the nausea - I found after going gluten free, I used to get nauseous at the same time every day. Cut out a few foods to experiment, and eventually found out nightshades were making me nauseous. It was quite severe, and worse the bigger alkaloid hit I got - raw green/red pepper was the worst, followed by tomatoes and potato. It only started up an hour or so after eating though, not immediate. The good news is now I can eat fresh potatoes (green/sprouting potatoes have higher amounts of alkaloids), small amounts of tomatoes etc. Peppers still not good :)

So stuff to try

- Cut out potatoes/tomatoes/tomato sauce/peppers for a meal, and see if you do or don't get nauseous.

- Keep a food journal listing what you eat and how you feel at what time. Do you always get nauseous, or only sometimes?

- Maybe you have an ulcer? Nausea is a common symptom of an ulcer, or even just mild inflammation of the stomach can cause it. Have you had an endoscopy recently? The doctor can test for H. Pylori which is a bacteria that commonly causes ulcers. Having stomach pain? If you get nauseous immediately after eating, maybe you have some stomach inflammation? Do you also get full very quickly?

- Maybe you are sensitive to milk (casein) or soy? Are you eating a lot more soy products than you used to?

smile i have the same problem cant gain weight and def have lost a good 25 lbs in the yr in the begginning i was working out quite hard i have stopped since diagnosis tho.

Sam i just had an endo done and they thought i had h pylori which i didnt, then just went threw a gastric emptying study and the had previous bloodwork for yearly physical doctor basically said theres not much more tests we can do your fine:(Marz i am keeping a food diary and you know i did have some nausea with nightshades and possibly corn i do want to get testing done to see if they can diagnose me with other intolerances. I am lactose intolerant since i just was diagnosed the doctor said very mild damamge done.I just dont understand this naseau esepcially with minimal damage,also feel so limited as to what i can eat now i am hesitant to cut out any other foods but i know i need to do it to improve my health.What i really want to know is if i cut these foods out for lets say 6 months and my gut heals more will i be able to introduce them back into my diet again or are they permanent? Thank you for all your wonderful replies i am soo greatful to talk to people who know what they are talking about:)

You may want to try switching do a different supplement drink or maybe drop it for a bit and substitute a smoothie made with rice, almond or hemp milk to make up the calories. Soy can be a common co-intolerance for us and if it is a problem for you the nausea should get better pretty quickly. It sounds like your eating a pretty balanced diet and taking supplements so you should be okay there but it is not a bad idea to have a vitamin and mineral panel done if you haven't already.

It can take us a while to heal and ups and downs are common at first. Hope your feeling better soon.

If you think you may need a strict elimination diet an allergist who deals with intolerances and elimination diets is, IMHO the way to go. They will start you out with 5 foods that you are least likely to react to and then you will add them back in one at a time. It is a long process sometimes but well worth it if it helps.

There are folks who are able to add stuff back in that they had to eliminate after they have healed. Some are intolerant to stuff long term. I don't think there is any way for you to tell which group you fall into.

supplement drink sounds great,i swear sometimes i get down about this diet but if you really think about it for everything we cant have there is a substitute and its only going to get better ive heard they have come a longgg way in the past 4 or 5 yrs:)Yes i know patience is the key im just seriously hoping i can have my dairy back for good one day and also my COFFEE was a huge coffee drinker but i know coffee stimulates your bowels so i gave it up and drink tea but there still something missing:/ anyone successfully drinking coffee????

nausea is a classic symptom of hypoglycemia. are your meals well balanced for protein/carbs/fat?

Mama Melissa Enthusiast

tar yes i try to make them as well balanced with meat (protein)vegtables being the biggest portion and carbs sometimes i do add a lil xtra carbs:) i was tested for diabetes and thyroid which they said i dont have however it does run in my family...

I drink coffee all the time. If you really miss it try having just one cup in the morning. If it bothers you then drop it. Oddly enough I have trouble with some teas, they just don't like me not a gluten issue.

Mama Melissa Enthusiast

yea raven ive been without it for almost 2 months i think thats why im soo tired to be honest since i know im not anemic lol i think im due a cup wish me luck:) also raven have you had any problems with dunkin donuts coffee or even mcdonalds mccafe drinks since i did research they are gluten free...

The only coffee I drink is coffee I brew myself. I got a nice thermos type cup for the car if I want to bring one with me when I am out. I would start off with homebrewed coffee to be on the safe side. Personally I wouldn't touch something made at McDonalds or Dunkin Doughnuts. Just not worth the risk IMHO.

Mama Melissa Enthusiast

really??? are we all that sensitive??? also what does imho mean?? do you ever go out to eat???

IMHO is 'in my humble opinion'. I do go out to eat on occasion but only at places that have a gluten free menu. With cross contamination being a risk I choose not to eat at 'fast' food places or establishments where I am not sure that folks know what they need to do to keep me safe. I have very severe reactions including a 3 day GI bleed with CC so to me it is not worth the risk.

You may want to post the question about whether others drink coffee from those places you named in the products section to get the some opinions from others.

If you do chose to grab a cup of coffee from someplace like them it would be a good idea to be fully healed first. If you are not sure your body will tolerate coffee do drink homebrewed first so you don't end up wondering if you don't tolerate the coffee or if it was CC that got you.

hey raven im sorry to hear your reactions are soo harsh maybe with time it will ease for you:( i agree i would never go anywhere dining out without a gluten free menu maybe sushi ,as for mcdonalds and dunkin donuts i would never eat there as there food is yucky neways but it would be nice to know i can grab a coffee here and there on the run i guess time will tell, yes i did try brewing my own coffee today and feel natuious with no other symptoms i did clean my whole entire house boy did it give me the jolt i needed:) i hope within more time the nausea will diminish...

Melissa, I once got "glutened" from a diet pepsi (fountain drink) from Dairy Queen. I hadn't had anything to eat in four hours and got sick within five minutes of drinking the pepsi, so it had to be that. I think the DQ person put his/her hand into the top of the cup or dropped a bread crumb in by accident. I stay away from most fast food places and agree with raven that I wouldn't get coffee at Dunkin or McD. I do occasionally eat at Chipotle or Taco del Mar or PFChangs but not very often as it is not 100% safe. (I usually do it when I'm travelling or out with others and can't make/bring my own food.) I am not as sensitive as Raven but still sensitive enough. Some people are more sensitive, others less. After a while you will figure it out for you specifically. Just a warning that sometimes the longer one is off gluten the more severe the reaciton is if you do get it accidentally.

Mama Melissa Enthusiast

wow thats crazy, i mean i dont want to eat out all the time but i do enjoy getting out once a month atleast you eat a chipotle?? i went there and everything was drenched in sauce they said nothing is gluten free there?? i tend to think im not as sensitive as most but my reaction def has been more sensitive now that i eliminated all sources of gluten.

Marz Enthusiast

Eeeps, if you're using supplement drinks, please consider blending your own mix. Soy is often a big problem, and I tried a "gluten-free" supplement with soy in it - made me horribly nauseous, sore stomach, the works!

For elimination diets - you're free to eat as much as you like of the "safe" items, so don't worry about removing lots of items from your food list, just eat a lot more of what you can to make up for it. Add in one item at a time so you know immediately when you get a reaction, what it's to.

Eg. I eat only plain unmarinated meats, rice, potato (watch out for nightshades), fresh and unprocessed veggies and fruit. I make sauces from scratch, don't use prepared sauces. I had a big problem with egg but it seems to be getting better, so I've added that in. Dairy I was sensitive to at first, but now fine - so I added cheese, milk, cream etc.

Stick with food you've prepared yourself, if you're using a lot of packaged items, you could be getting small hits of gluten every time which causes the nausea. Nausea for me is a good indication I'm getting some gluten cc!

Just for one week try it out - just pack away the prepared foods/freeze the stuff you're not sure of, go to the grocery store and just buy awesome veggies, fruit and plain meat. Don't worry about food intolerances (unless there's something you know doesn't work well with you), and don't eat out that week. You can do this, it's only short term to see if this is causing the symptoms! If you feel much better, then you know it's some cc getting to you.

Yes, we can be *that* sensitive :/

hey thank you for the wonderful info, one good thing is my belly never bloats or hurts since i started the diet which im greatful for its just the nausea:( I will def try to keep it just simple with meats and potatoes and fresh fruit and vegis. can i ask will i have to do just the meats vegis and fruit forever or will i be able to one day tolerate glutne free itemsss?? i would hate to be soo limited but whatever works:)btw sometimes i feel natuous after i eat things that def dont have gluten lie potatoes meat and vegis so sometimes i tend to thing it might be another food intolerance,will this let up once i heal more or is it there to stay??

cyberprof Enthusiast

wow thats crazy, i mean i dont want to eat out all the time but i do enjoy getting out once a month atleast you eat a chipotle?? i went there and everything was drenched in sauce they said nothing is gluten free there?? i tend to think im not as sensitive as most but my reaction def has been more sensitive now that i eliminated all sources of gluten.

I was talking about fast food when I talked about Chipotle. I don't eat fast food normally, although I have eaten (very few things) at Wendy's, Chik-fil-a, Taco del Mar, PFChangs. Chipotle is one of the easiest places to be gluten-free, but you have to research. Search on the Restaurant thread...sorry I don't have time to post it all now.

I do eat at "good" restaurants = meaning expensive sit down.

Marz Enthusiast

can i ask will i have to do just the meats vegis and fruit forever or will i be able to one day tolerate glutne free itemsss??

You should be able to tolerate more once you've healed, but everyone's different :) This is more to eliminate trace amounts of gluten bothering you - once you've got a safe list of food and not feeling nauseous all the time, you can start trying to add more variety of foods to your diet. I'd recommend adding one new item a week, eating it every day, so that if you get a reaction it's immediately obvious and you can pinpoint it to exactly what's the problem.

Gluten free items - depends what they're made from. Some people are sensitive to soy, and will probably remain so. But other flours, if they're completely gluten free, should be fine :)

Mama Melissa Enthusiast

thanx marz i am keeping a food diary and i am lactose intolerant for now i still cant pinpoint a specific thing that bothers me i tend to think its a intolerance rather than a reaction to cc time will tell:)

Remember, that being nauseated can be centered in the brain....you may be looking at issues eaten earlier in the day that have been digested and absorbed and gotten by the blood brain barrier......

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
