Nausea As A Symptom?


alli sunshine

Recommended Posts

I have dealt with nausea problems for years and years. I had an EGD last year, and the doc found chronic stomach inflammation. It really, has a negative impact on my life. I have had many other issues, including poor absorption problems. As I look into gluten as a source of my problems, I wondered if anyone here has had nausea as a symptom. It is really bad as of late. I was going to wait until after the holidays to try a gluten free diet to see if I see a difference. However, I am feeling so bad lately that I am wondering if I shouldn't try it sooner.

Yes, yes very much yes. I had all the symptoms you are having before I went gluten free. And I get nasuea when I get any gluten now.

Nausea is definitely one of my symptoms as well. You're not alone. And going gluten-free (and corn-free for me, as I am also intolerant to corn) mitigated my symptoms.

I had nausea for years before I found out. Did the doctor do a biopsy after your EGD last year? Bloodwork? Taking into consideration your chronic inflammation, poor absorption along with the nausea, I would suggest you try the diet now (unless you plan on further testing). We can help you navigate the holidays gluten-free--it's really not so hard.

I'd rather be gluten-free during the holidays (or anytime) than be sick and nauseous. :)

I get a weird nauseous/gagging feeling sometimes and I attribute it to the celiac.

Yup, I had tons of nausea. First it was off and on, maybe just after eating.. but then it got so that I was always nauseous. I've been working on being gluten-free for about 3 days now and since I've started, it's gone down some.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
