Nausea after a month?

Hi Guys, 

 

    I am still kind of new to this whole gluten-free thing.  I had been really sick earlier this fall.  Weight loss, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, anxiety.  I had a colonoscopy in August with nothing present.  Then Had went to the ER and had a normal CT scan.  Normal blood work, no celiacs.  Then a week before my scheduled upper endoscope I went gluten-free and my symptoms drastically decreased.  I spoke to my GI doctor and he said I was probably NCGI or possibly had celiacs, but since I was gluten-free a week before the endoscope I probably wouldn't get an accurate biopsy.  He told me to avoid gluten and I should be fine, and to come back for the upper endoscope if things got worse.  

    I am still trying to figure out what I can and can't eat.  I was still getting the symptoms when I had corn, so cut that out.  Then was only having left rib pain and silent reflux, so I cut out processed gluten-free food and bread.  Now all I really eat is meat, fruit and veggies.  For the last 5 days I have had slight nausea, not gurgling or anything like that, just very minimal nausea.  This started after I ate gluten-free chicken strips and a gluten-free microwave meal last Wed., then had some Red wine and cookies with almond flour on Saturday (which I think messed me up).  It is now Mondsay and I still feel a slight bit of nausea.  I basically went gluten-free On Oct. 1st.  Has anyone ever had this happen to them this far out from going gluten-free?  Also, has anyone ever tried going gluten-free without having a positive blood test or endoscope?  I am wondering if I should just get the endoscope.  I was so worried before it may be stomach cancer, but maybe I should just rule it out.  Just want to know if anyone else has experienced this.  I have gained back about 10 pounds ( I was down 20), its just the light nausea that bothers me know,

 

Thanks for your input!

This is common and several of our members have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity), most with this from what I have seen experience to even traces of gluten much like celiacs. You have to follow the diet like you have celiac disease. Please check the newbie 101 thread about cleaning out your house, kitchen, condiments, cookware, and avoiding CC.

Yes healing and getting away from this kind of thing and regulating can take months.  I have a corn allergy on top of this so I can tell you that you in for a ride. MOST gluten free foods contain corn, corn starch, baking powder with corn starch, maltodextrin with corn starch, modified food starch (corn)......IF you need help I have tracked down corn and gluten free breads, pizza crust, etc. I can personally point you at later. In the mean time stick to whole foods and things easy to digest like soups, stews, omelettes, IF you crave desserts Simple MIlls, and Enjoy life should be OK for corn free and you can always check the recipe section for my food threads and recipes. My go too foods are mostly omelettes and I do them in a microwave cooker from nordic ware to keep things simple with stuff like canned spinach and seasonings from BIG AXE spice co and Spicely Organics. I also do stir fry and nut flour based porridge.

You might want to avoid the wine and some high histamine foods for awhile til you heal and regulate.

Ennis_TX, thank you for your advice! I have made the determination that I just should probably stick to whole foods for a while until things settle down!  Thanks again!

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac at age 8 when I dropped down to the bottom 18% of my height and weight class this lead to tests which lead to celiac. I was devastated however with a gluten-free diet I am now taller than 60% of my grade. As I grew older I grew but my symptoms changed to violently throwing up everything inside of my body from a tiny macaron that I know had gluten in it and caused my reaction. However recently I had a full wheat containing cookie and didn’t feel a thing. Absolutely no symptoms at all. No upset stomach no diharea no anything not even a headache. So I told my doctor and he told me to experiment. What better than a fried fluffy donut that aren’t the same gluten-free I had half and had no reaction, not to mention the top ingredient was wheat and it was delicious. Yet still my mom is skeptical and I need to know. Can a kid outgrow celiac?????

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Richardo,  Welcome to the forum!   Good suggestions, although we are aware here that oats, corn and rice can cause problems for some because their proteins have segments that resemble segments of the gluten protein.   What I find most helpful for my dermatitis herpetiformis flares is to increase Niacin Vitamin B 3 and Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  Niacin and Thiamine are needed to turn those carbohydrates into energy to fuel metabolic reactions that keep us healthy.  An influx of carbohydrates demands more of these vitamins.  Since malabsorption of Celiac can cause us to be low in the eight essential water soluble B vitamins, consuming a high carbohydrate diet can deplete thiamine and niacin stores rapidly. There's evidence that Niacin insufficiency plays a big part in dermatitis herpetiformis.   The flushing form of Niacin is known to dilate small blood vessels in the skin which allows the antibodies to be easily cleared from the blisters and induce healing.   Niacin intake should be kept under 500 mg a day otherwise it will lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, but this should only be done under doctor supervision.   Thiamine is nontoxic and safe Eve in high doses.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to fuel the mitochondrial functions.  A high carbohydrate diet requires 500 - 1000 mg more for every 1000 calories from carbs.
