Nausea and Vomiting Are Key Symptoms of Gluten Exposure in Celiac Patients

I know my primary symptom now directly after eating gluten is vomiting. It's almost like clockwork, 3 hrs after I eat gluten I get very nauseous and usually throw up and feel terrible for a day or two. 

Me too. But I have severe chills and heavy sweating before and during the vomiting time. This is the indicator that I need to get to a bathroom or find a plastic bag quickly. 

I have never had those symptoms.  In fact I rarely have symptoms.  Makes knowing if I have eaten gluten a challange.

Same here.  I vomit within 30 minutes of ingesting any gluten and also have the chills and sweat profusely.  My daughter in law gets a migraine within 30 minutes.

My skin turns red now and my heart rate goes up.  Along with those symptoms I also get a temperature and then nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.  These all happen concurrently and within a few minutes of exposure.

If I ingest gluten within 2-3 hours I start vomiting continually every 15 mins. When no food is left to vomit, I then keep dry reaching. I also get severe headaches, horrendous stomach pains & chills. This lasts up to 6 hours or so, so I am bed ridden & feel totally ghastly & weak.The extreme tiredness lasts around 2 days. 

I get sick for a whole month. Starts with not feeling well. Then I vomit and have to remember to drink something cause the dry heaves hurt. I also get a foggy brain which lasts for most of the month.  The severest symptoms last for about 8 days then eases off a bit. But there's a sick feeling that last for the whole month. Its horrible.

Those were always my symptoms - always about 3 hr after accidentally eating gluten (and how I found the Twizzlers have wheat). I never had diarrhea. In fact I never had symptoms until I stopped eating gluten and then accidentally ate gluten. My only signs before diagnosis (by endoscopy and antibody tests) were osteoporosis and iron deficient anemia with low hemoglobin. The anemia and low hemoglobin resolved after going gluten-free, but I still have the osteoporosis.

This happens to my daughter. But if I can get her to eat 1-2 handfuls of babycarrots, she won’t throw up and it will pass! Been doing this for 2 years now and it’s amazing! Baby carrots help eith with any upset stomach. 
I also give her activated charcoal if she’s getting signs of being sick and the. Give her carrots. If I do these things, she won’t throw up! 
 

hope that helps!

Starts with a headache. A few hours after I get severe stomach pains, kind of like labor pains (I have 3 children) , chills, sweats, severe and painful diarrhea. For a few days after i have migraines, arthritis pains, brain fog, nausea, and stomach cramping (especially after eating). I typically fast for a while after.

I suspect both you and I are also allergic to wheat, or you also have Addison’s as we react similarly

I have been diagnosed as a "Celiac" for over 25 plus years now.

I would be interested in a study that looks into the time after ingesting gluten to the point of nausea and vomiting. 

Because until recently I too thought that when I was nauseous and vomiting after eating a meal, the last meal would be the blame for gluten exposure.  But after 3 separate experiences my understanding quickly changed. 

The first time was after eating at a so called "safe" establishment.  After telling the server about my Celiac Disease the rice they served was pilaf.  After taking several bits I thought something was wrong, and I asked what kind of rice dish it was.  I was told rice pilaf!  Since I've already eaten it, I had more, to see what my reaction would be.  When we arrived home, I felt absolutely fine.  When I woke up the next morning I felt absolutely fine.  I was actually thinking maybe I was beating the severe reactions once experienced.  By mid afternoon I was starting to feel fatigued, and round diner time the wicked headache showed up.  The food I ate that evening was from home, and without a doubt 100% gluten-free, and within 3 hours or so after eating, I spent the entire night throwing up.

This happened two other times, once with a frozen burrito that had the exact same colored packaging as the gluten-free version, and 24 hours later, I was throwing up the meal I just ate.  And again at an establishment that was "safe" for those with Celiac Disease while I was without a doubt eating 100% gluten-free the day of and prior, again 24 hours later, I was throwing up.

Maybe the reaction is just me, maybe it is not.  But like others, after throwing up a meal, I would always blame that last meal.  But after my not so controlled scientific experiments I quickly realized there's a lot more to our immune systems.  Kind of like that door knob that had the cold or flue virus on it, we don't see the immune response to the virus 3 hours after touching the knob and exposing ourselves, it's more like 24-72 hours later, after our immune systems kicks into gear.  Maybe it's the same for those of us with Celiac Disease?
