Yes, in my case. I was nauseaus every single day, day in/day out. I woke up every morning heaving and my dear BF would bring me a half a piece of whole wheat toast after about an hour and tell me I had to eat something.

I've kidded him that he had been poisoning me with good intentions. I only scored a "2" on skin prick testing with wheat, so I have wheat intolerance.

The way I found out is I went on clear liquids for 24 hours, then added bananas, apples and rice. The nausea (and D) stopped. (If you want to try this, make sure anything you consume during the liquid diet is wheat free, like chicken broth or teas.) If you can make your own, that's best.

A day or two later I had 1/2 piece of toast and the symptoms returned like a hurricane. That was my waa laa moment.

I forgot to say that I am not nauseas any more (thankfully, cheerfully), but if I get the slightest bit of gluten in something I eat, nausea rears it's ugly head again. So I rarely eat out, or eat something prepared by somebody else.

I had nausea daily and intermittent vomiting.

I was told to eat soda crackers for the nausea.

I was poisoning myself.

Migraine or should I say...My Grain Headaches followed so I always thought it was the flu.

It wasn't. Now I have none of these symptoms except when I get traces of gluten.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
