New Symptoms Once Gluten Free

hello all, I have been gluten free since March of this year. My symptoms have always been fatigue, body ache, nausea, brain fog. Since being gluten-free after 3 months, I have now had these awful bouts of vomiting. Just all is a sudden I will get nauseous like someone punched me in the stomach and then I hit the floor running to the bathroom as fast as I can. I had to pull over once because I wasn't going to make it home. 3 days ago I had dry heaves every 15min for 2 hours! I found out it was a med. change that did it. Anyway, I was never like this before when eating gluten and now that I am gluten free? Why now? I follow a Vegan diet, so no dairy. The episodes pass usually one to two hours after starting then I am all done, just wiped out. Has any one ever had anything like this happen to them?

Sadly reactions to gluten can change over time. Once I stopped eating gluten I added serious depression and anxiety to the list of symptoms I get when glutened, even though I did not have them before. And they don't both come every time I get glutened. I'm glad you figured out that it was the med change that caused you the problems.

I've only been gluten-free for 5 weeks and am now having stomach issues. Last Friday night I vomited violently-did not think I was going to be able to catch my breath at all. I frequently have stomach aches. I don't know if I am getting gluten somehow or what the problem is. I hope it gets better.

My daughter was glutne free for about 5 years and then she would start this vommitting cycle. It was so bad she needed to be hospitalized for dehydration.

She was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitus. Some of the top suspect disorders that an endoscopy can rule in or out.... parasite infection, physical deformatiy, hernia, H. Ployri, Eosinophils, Celiac damage, and the list is quite long and I'm having a hard time remembering.

Gallbladder problems are related to Celiac, but I believe there would be different tests for that.

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
