Cyclical Vomiting, Proctaearslgia Fugax- After Being gluten-free For 3 Years

I have been gluten-free for 3 years. I also eat a whole foods diet that includes lots of probiotic foods, no grains, etc. I am healthier than I have ever been. The only problem is that in the past year I have had a couple months where I've had episodes of what seems like cyclical vomiting. I also have been suffering from proctalgia fugax (rectal spasms) about once a month for the past year. Both problems are considered GI disorders. I am frustrated because I feel like that for the amount of time I have been gluten-free, I shouldn't be having any problems- much less new ones. Add to that the fact my diet is extremely healthy and I've added 10-15lbs of weight on in the past year and a half (which is a good thing), I've been able to go off my OCD meds, and my teeth have been wonderful at the past few checkups- I just don't understand where or why these gastro symptoms have come on. Is it possible for celiac related symptoms to occur even after you've been gluten-free for a while? Were they just lurking under the surface?

Sometimes people just get another problem to deal with after Celiac.

My daughter did great gluten free from 17 months old (diagnosed probable Celiac) until she turned 6. Some nasty virus went around. She started vommiting blood. At the hospital they down played it and just treated her for the dehydration. The same month she turned 6 she just started vommitting up to 5-6 times a day. She had an endoscopy with biopsy done and was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitus. Now after living with both Celiac and EE for 3 years, there is a proven connection between the 2 disorders.

You'd think dealing with celiac should give us a pass on other health problems, but alas, it is not the case.

Is there any chance the symptoms are coming from accidental or hidden gluten?

My husband said he thought that might be the case. Just don't know where it could be coming from. And unfortunately, yes, there are plenty of disorders that are associated with celiac. I was just hoping that being gluten free would keep them from occurring.

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.
