I don't know about the vernors but that is always what has gotten me through the nausea before. if i can't have that, i'm gonna go crazy....

i can have ensure....i struggle with it though because of the taste....and the anorexia background just makes me scared to drink it because of the calories.....

Can you make ginger tea or have a piece of candied ginger to get away from the carbonation? It's worth a shot, right?

I'm sorry to hear that the anorexia makes you afraid of Ensure. The 250 calories in a bottle are barely half a meal, right? I can sure understand not liking the taste, though the chocolate flavor is drinkable to me. I am just trying to throw out ideas since you sound hungry and miserable. :(

Hmmm... easy to digest. Rice pasta, maybe? I can get it fairly cheap at Trader Joe's and it's pretty close to wheat pasta in texture. Do things like applesauce and winter squash work?

ok.....so I had a baked potato tonight....already nauseous. what could be wrong with a baked potato???

If that's all you had, you may need protein. Are you eating protein with every meal?

A plain potato goes in and converts to sugar without anything to slow it down - protein, fat. Or, of you notice a problem with tomato, potato you may have an issue with nightshades.

i'm not eating protein at every meal. i have a hard time with a lot of proteins and i'm not comfortable cooking a lot of things...especially meat.

How long since you were in treatment for the anorexia? Just wondering if you might need a tune-up. Something to think about.

Well, from what you listed above I'd consider finding a way to get some. Quickly converting carbs (lack of protein) can cause nausea, headache. Your blood sugar may be jumping (not implying you're diabetic) and falling because your body isn't mediating sugar. I went through a month of hypoglycemia that made me feel the way you describe, during healing. I got through it but not without protein.

Also, since you also said you had margarine with the potato, the first thing that came to my mind was soy. Can you substitute real butter in place of margarine to test that? And for protein, I eat chicken thighs a lot, with rice or rice noodles or a sweet potato and/or some other veggies. Last night I threw some frozen peas in with my rice so they'd cook together and warmed up a chicken thigh in my toaster oven. Easy!

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.

Not sure if this has been covered yet, but I am a type one diabetic and one of the most common 'tells' for me to know that my blood sugar is running low without checking by blood glucose level with my glucometer is that I feel nauseated and often have a headache to go along with it. Are you or have you been checked for diabetes? If you think about what you might be eating on the gluten-free diet, it probably includes less carbs and more proteins, fruits and veggies...just a thought.

My upset stomach protein is egg drop soup, done in gluten-free broth of course. Bring a serving of broth to a boil and slowly add a beaten egg, stirring so that it breaks apart and cooks as you add it. Season with a little soy sauce and sesame oil. If fat is a problem with the gastroparesis, you can make it with two egg whites.

It actually makes a little sense that you are nauseated at night, since your stomach doesn't empty well- by the end of the day it may be filling up and leading to the nausea (many people vomit with gastroparesis also). Do they have you on Reglan? That is a common medication for this, that is a prokinetic agent- meaning it helps your stomach move/contract. And do they know what caused your gastroparesis? Because it often is from diabetes when constistantly high blood sugars damage the nerves that control the stomach, but it definitely isn't the only reason... I hope you can get this all figured out and feeling better!

So...I don't know what it is. I had a plain piece of chicken tonight. Nothing on it, completely plain. And, water to drink. And I still got nauseous. :(

Seriously, I hate that I'm feeling worse than before I went on the gluten free diet. That doesn't make me want to stay on the diet.

Aw geez. That sucks. I don't know what to say other than offering sympathy.

I know this is probably way out there but if you are having problems digesting foods such as chicken, beef heavy proteins and raw veggies and fruits like carrots and apples, these are harder for your body to digest and process. Have you tried eating things like gluten-free oatmeal, cream of rice cereal, eggs, soups, things like that? I know they don't necessarily provide a lot of fiber, but until you heal they might still provide you with nutrition and not be so difficult for your gut to deal with.....

i ate jell-o the other day and i was still nauseous then. and that is nothing to digest. i called the doctor to see what she thinks and am just waiting to hear back.

If it is a problem with your blood sugar you need to find the right balance between carbs and protein.

For me, if I have too many carbs like a baked potato with little to no protein I will get nauseous and if I have only protein and no carbs I will also get nauseous.

I hope that you get everything figured out and start to feel better.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
