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!

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain. I have three crushed vertebrae myself. I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain. This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds. I hope you will give them...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery. She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based. It's about how women can't get treated. Everyone should read this! I wouldn't mind reading it again, even. She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working,...

      Modified Food Starch

      They say maltodextrin is gluten-free, even if it's made from wheat, because the gluten is processed away. It makes no difference to my body. I still get uncontrollable flatulence and leakage. Happens every time, even if I refuse to believe it will happen. Once I was taking Gas-X chewables to hang around with people I was visiting and staying with, to...

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.

I didn't realize it till after I left and went home--MALTODEXTRIN.  I was miserable the whole time. The second gastroenterologist I saw made the tentative diagnosis of microscopic colitis.  Usually occurs in women over 60, I was 59, had been in a crash, (2020) was taking alot of NSAIDS, muscle relaxants.  Had constant diarrhea, gas, leaking.  Unbearable, and I didn't know it was NSAIDS.  I was scheduled for two-way endoscopy, mouth to butt, but they wanted $2,000 up front.  Finally, had a colonoscopy in 2022, 10 biopsies, didn't find a thing!  MC can go into remission, which I was, of course, desperate to do.  No more NSAIDS, tried to cut down on all the other pain killers, everything, chemicals that I knew triggered me.  So, no, they didn't find anything.  So sad that we have to make ourselves sicker and more injured to get a proper diagnosis! Microscopic colitis is being seen concurrently with gluten problems.  MC can be triggered by NSAIDS, SSRI's, all kinds of things. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17227-microscopic-colitis Some links for maltodextrin health effects: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6409436/#:~:text=Altogether%2C these findings show that,the development of intestinal inflammation. https://www.mdedge.com/internalmedicine/article/193956/gastroenterology/maltodextrin-may-increase-colitis-risk
