Nausea Every Evening...

Any ideas why I'm having this problem. I'm nauseous every night....like almost throwing up. It's just been since I went on the gluten-free diet. I feel especially bad tonight and have a killer headache too.

Many possibilities here. Here are something to think about:

Other foods or additives- dairy, soy, xanthan gum, etc.

Too little or too much vits. Too little iron can bring on nausea or taking too much D.

Did you just go off a med? That can also create stomach upset.

Having any trouble with acid reflux? Spice, acidic foods, alcohol for some, can cause nausea.

For awhile I was waking up with nausea every morning and couldn't figure out why. It would go away as the day went on but would be back each morning. I started keeping a detailed food diary and found it was soy content in probiotics I was taking every night before I went to bed.

That the nausea is happening around the same time each day suggests an intolerance to something you're ingesting everyday (that may not necessarily be gluten). That food diary is key: what you ate, the time you ate it and the time you experienced the symptom. Then use that history to play detective and EVERYTHING should be considered suspect. Hope you figure it out soon!!

If I find out that I have to cut more foods out of my diet, I will go crazy. I can barely eat anything now as it is....plus, for a person that is a recovering anorexic, having to continually cut foods out of your diet makes it even harder to stay on the path to recovery....

I admit I do not have personal experience with anorexia, but is it possible that if you could isolate what is making you so miserable in the evenings, there may be a replacement for it, e.g., a packaged food that contains soy could be exchanged for one that is soy free?

Are you eating foods that are packaged? If so, I'd start with one of those as a possible nausea culprit and then ponder further for a solution. One thing at a time. Please let everyone know how you are doing.

If your not pregnant..... I got morning sickness all day, especially when I was hungry.

But now that I'm not preggers, I will get a headache in the late afternoon if I don't eat enough protein during the day. I know its that because, if I eat something proteiny like cheese or meat, it mostly goes away. You say you are barley barely eating, so maybe its blood sugar or my unscientific protein deficiency. :)

Edited to fix an unfortunate typo.

I just looked back at some of your posts and notice that last week you may have still been eating a bit of gluten. If you are now entirely gluten free, you may be experiencing withdrawal. It is common and will pass but you must stay gluten free. If you are not gluten free, then you cannot evaluate any other food intolerances until you are 100% so.

Either way, this is for your health and good nourishment. Gluten is simply a protein, it's not an end all/be all, and neither is any other food you may find your system cannot tolerate. Being well and feeling happy is worth giving up things that make you feel badly.

I am also at the stage of things where I am still narrowing down the things that are affecting me and am also frustrated by the dwindling foods available to me! But - I am not also recovering from an eating disorder, that makes the situation all the more difficult. You have my sympathy! I hope you are getting the support you need during this difficult stage; just try to keep in mind that it's a stage that will pass and you will get to the point where things stabilize and you feel good again! Good luck to you.

You may have said before on another thread, but ...Why are you limited in what you can eat? Can you eat PB or Almond butter? Maybe try some on an apple in the afternoon and see if that helps?

I always seem to have more problems being on the gluten free diet than when I'm not on it. I think that makes this all so much harder for me....

That is very interesting. Are there foods you are eating more of when you go gluten-free? Have you tried a food diary to narrow down why it might be occurring?

I'm really not "changing" anything.....I mean....I'm eating gluten free now, but I'm not eating more of something that I wasn't eating before.

I do know that the gluten-free stuff is harder to digest....and I need an easily digestible diet. For some reason, white bread and white flour, etc are the easiest foods to digest....

Did you have dairy with it? Butter or sour cream? I'm a little sensitive to nightshade veggies, including potatoes. I sure hope that isn't your issue.

Was there anything on it? Was it the only thing you ate? What did you drink alongside it? Take any supplements after?

So there could be a few things going on. You need to test each of the items to see which one is causing it - have a plain potato (yawn, I know) on an empty stomach and just drink water, and see what happens. If you feel sick, you know you have an issue with potatoes. (You should still test each one of the other items to make sure you aren't reacting to any of them too). It's just a process of elimination, luckily you only have a few items there to go through!

But why would I be fine eating potatoes before and now because I went gluten-free I now have a problem?? That doesn't make sense to me....

Well, it seems that a lot of us who go gluten-free become very sensitive to other things in our diet. My doc says when you take the biggest offender out of the picture, other things bubble up to the surface. For me it was corn and anything derived from corn, even sweeteners. I'd been having those for life without any perceived problem, but now that I'm gluten-free they make me feel sick. So you just have to test to see what is making you feel bad. It sucks after going through getting gluten out of your diet, to be faced with still more foods that need to be removed. At times it can be overwhelming but when you find what's making you sick and you get rid of it, you will feel so good it will be worth the stress!

i don't know how removing all this foods can be worth the stress. this is so difficult for me. i'm starving tonight even though i'm nauseous and i'm ready to just go and eat something that i'm not supposed to have.....

:(. I've been there. Where you are hungry and overwhelmed and sick of thinking about it, and know that anything you put in your mouth is going to make you feeling lousy. Just this week I figured out my corn-derived sweetener issue and removed it (I am eating muffins out the wazoo bc I was dropping weight like crazy. Now they are totally unsweetened muffins. Yum. Not.) and it was like everything felt different overnight. It feels like such a relief physically to have that gone. Hang in there, really, you are trying to figure out what works for you and it's really really hard. But at some point you will get there - and it could be sooner than you think! - and you will know what to eat and what not to, to keep yourself feeling good.

I hardly know anything about gastroparesis so I typed "gastroparesis carbonation" into Google. This came up at the American College of Gastroenterology website. Open Original Shared Link

"Symptoms of gastroparesis include bloating, nausea, early fullness while eating meals, heartburn, and epigastric pain. Ingestion of solid foods, high fiber foods such as raw fruits and vegetables, fatty foods or drinks high in fat or carbonation may cause symptoms."

Could it be the Vernor's?

Maybe it was OK before but now that your diet is a little different it's triggering some nausea?

Please don't get frustrated to where you eat gluten. My thyroid is a mess from having celiac undiagnosed for so long and I hate to see anyone else mess themselves up.

Oh, another dumb question because I don't know about gastroparesis. Can you have a drink like Ensure to get some calories? Ensure is gluten-free.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
