Low Vitamin D And Iron - Nausea Connection?

I have been feeling nauseous for awhile. I found out today I have low Vitamin D. I took some D3 and my nausea went away. I haven't found nausea listed as a symptom of low Vitamin D anywhere.

My ferritin is on the low end of normal so I'm supplementing with iron too. Just took that. I took the two of them separately in case they bothered my tummy.

Did anyone else have nausea with either of these being low? I want the nausea to go away! I hate it.

(I'm not getting glutened. I have zero gluten in my house including my soaps and shampoos, etc. )

My morning nausea has improved, nearly subsided since supplementing Vitamin D3 after a low lab result in Vit. D. I like the drops, BTW. You just stick a drop on a teaspoon and lick it off, or you can stick a drop in any liquid you have in the morning.

I've never seen medical articles correlating nausea & Vitamin D defficiency though.

I get a bout of C when I supplement iron, had to go with iron free multivitamin. Good luck, sandsurf! I hate nausea too, but I've always been prone to it, even before having an issue with gluten.

I had nausea after STARTING iron and D (I am low on both) but it has subsided.

My doc is prescribing Vitamin D in a high dose for 4 weeks. The nausea has been pretty mild until Sunday. There's a virus going around, so I'm wondering if I got mildly sick. I've been tired and feeling blah, plus the bad nausea. I am testing for Cushings now and there is a tumor on my adrenal gland that may need surgery. So that complicates things too.

Thanks Marilyn. This is such a difficult time for me. Today was particularly bad because I felt so sick and a very close friend died yesterday unexpectedly. Almost 2 years ago I got diagnosed celiac and was sick for 6 months before I started really feeling good. I had a good run and then about 7 weeks ago got very sick because my hormones were out of whack. Spent 10 days in the hospital and they found which hormones were wacky and the adrenal tumor. I want off this roller coaster!

I'm glad to hear Vitamin D can help with nausea. It seemed to help earlier and the nausea came back tonight. Maybe the high dose prescription one will be better when I take it tomorrow.

I have seen medical studies linking nausea and low Vitamin D, I know someone after nausea for months, they found her level was only 0.17 the lowest they could read in the range!

I was found to be severly deficient in April, and it took me a solid 2 weeks of 70,000 units a week before I started to feel serious relief from my symptoms (extreme fatigue). I also dropped 9 pounds like it was nothing, after struggling with weight loss! Good Luck! I know even now if I stop supplementing for 1 week the fatigue creeps back. But am now just starting the gluten free diet also.

Dear Sandsurf,

Sorry I haven't checked this thread for a few days. So sorry to learn of your loss.

I just wanted to mention that from what I've researched, Vitamin D1 doesn't really help, but D3 does. Some old school doctors prescribe D1. I thought I'd mention that...and hope you're feeling betting soon.

Hugs! (( ))

I've been on doctor prescribed vitamin D and iron pills for a while. I get nauseous after I get glutened. I wonder if it's because my body can't absorb the supplements because of the gluten? I don't know. But the Vitamin D and iron have really helped with my fatigue and my mood.

      KATZ CINNAMON DONUTS

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so unwell, and I hope you recover quickly. While your personal experience of getting sick is absolutely valid, there are a few key inaccuracies in the information you've shared that are important to clarify for anyone else reading. The central misunderstanding is about oats and gliadin. Oats do not contain gliadin; gliadin is a specific protein found exclusively in wheat. The protein in oats is called avenin, which is similar in structure but is a completely different compound. For the vast majority of people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, pure, uncontaminated oats are safe. The reason "gluten-free" oats are necessary is because regular oats are frequently cross-contaminated with wheat, barley, or rye during growing and processing. Certified gluten-free oats are tested to ensure they are free from this cross-contamination. It's possible you may have a separate and less common sensitivity to avenin in oats themselves, or the illness could have been caused by another ingredient or even an unrelated virus. Given your expertise and severe reaction, it would be a good idea to discuss this with a doctor to pinpoint the exact cause. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      KATZ CINNAMON DONUTS

      By bombier · Posted

      I just called in sick to work and I'm laying here in a fetal position with liquid diarrhea so bad I'm using a trash can and can't make it to the bathroom. Last night I thought I would treat myself as most of you realize we have to cook from scratch so much but I thought I would treat myself and I made a huge mistake by buying these katz cinnamon donuts. I had a pre-covid gluten-free restaurant and used to hold gluten-free meetings in McDonald's until they closed the dining rooms down. I am very familiar with this topic. I'm too sick to fish the box out of the garbage can and read the ingredients again but I can guarantee you before I bought it I made sure they didn't have so-called gluten-free oats because there is no such thing. Oats have gliadin and gliadin is a derivative of gluten I learned this long ago in my gluten-free journey. I am in so much pain and so sick I can't believe it. Right now I'm feeling like this company has no business making food for the public.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan
