Nausea Getting Worse?

I got diagnosed about 1.5 weeks ago, and have been gluten free for just over 2 weeks now (after getting my blood test my Dr suggested to immediately stop eating gluten since I was showing every symptom of Celiac and was starting to lose weight regardless of food intake). The first week or so I kept feeling better and better every day! The bloating went down, my depression lifted and I felt like someone had "turned on the switch" in my brain. I finally felt normal again. For the past few days I've been noticing worse and worse nausea upon waking up in the morning, and today at lunch I could barely keep my food down a few minutes after finishing my (gluten-free!) sandwich. I've seriously not felt that nauseous since I had the stomach flu when I was a kid. My boyfriend said it was scary how I became very greenish and then red in the face in a matter of a couple minutes. I've done my best to de-glutenize my kitchen and bought a new toaster for myself so I don't think cc could be the culprit. I've been lactose intolerant therefore lactose free for a year now so it's not related to that. Is this just a normal part of the healing process, or should I be concerned?

Edit: I forgot to add that I've also checked all of my cosmetics and toothpaste and they are gluten free as well.

Hi and welcome. Glad to hear you are feeling better (or were feeling better).

Gluten-free sandwich? Are you eating a gluten-free bread with a lot of xanthan gum for texture? Some people don't tolerate that stuff very well and get nauseous.

I assume morning sickness is not a possibility? Sometimes coincidences happen.

I'd suggest you set the gluten-free substitute foods aside for a bit and try eating meats, vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans, eggs, and other naturally gluten-free whole foods.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm eating Udi's bread since I've heard a lot of people saying it's delicious (it is!) and a sandwich is pretty easy to pack for lunch at work. Plus I'd rather not lose too much more weight, so I was hoping having some sort of carbs in my diet could help me get back to normal. I'll try cutting that though and see what happens. :)

As far as the morning sickness, I've been on birth control for years for other reasons. It would have to be immaculate anyway since boyfriend and I are abstaining until we get married in a few years! ;)

Unfortunately, it's Udi's that definitely gets some people. They use a lot of gums to get the lovely texture and around the board we think that's why. Sorry to tell you to try cutting out the nice gluten-free bread but it might help.

And LOL @ immaculate conception!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Blood results

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!
