Continued Nausea

Is it normal to still be very nauseous at 3 1/2 months gluten free? How many of you are still suffering with this? My husband is still suffering from nausea several times a week, which is better than it used to be which was everyday most of the day so he has seen some improvement with it. Removed casein, soy and peanuts from the diet also. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well I don't know if it's normal, but I've sure been feeling nauseated for about a month now. I just went gluten free in November and gluten/casein free in December.

I don't know whats up with the nausea because after about 1 1/2 weeks of feeing better than I have, I think, my whole life I'm nauseas too. Not barfy but just yuckey. Maybe its the caffine. I have given up everything but one small cup of coffee a day. Really itchy too.

I was definitely nauseaus often for the first few months. Try deglycerized licorice tablets after meals. It helped me a lot. Enzamatic therapies makes it. Also ginger tea helps (Traditional Medicinals is gluten free).

Yep, I was nauseous for definitely a few months after going gluten free.

You can also make ginger tea with fresh ginger root. Cut up a few pieces, boil them in plenty water and make tea with the water - or just drink it with some honey, yum. The same pieces of ginger will be good for several times, in fact the first time I often find the taste too strong.

I was nausous for a good 4 months after my diagnosis. I found out I was allergic to soy as well, and once I removed gluten and soy from my diet, I began to feel much better. When I'm really nauseous I drink flat ginger ale and it seems to help a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions. He has been using Phenergan for the nausea when its at its worst and won't let up but he hates to take anything that he doesn't absoulutely have to. I'm going to give some of these suggestions a try and see if they help. Thanks again.

I, too, was nauseous for about 3 months after going gluten-free, and pure peppermint helped--either in hard (candy) form or peppermint tea. I hope he feels better soon--nausea is the worst!

Oh, that's right, I used to drink a lot of peppermint tea as well. I haven't for a while (since the nausea is gone as well) so i forgot...

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
    • Maura Gissen
      Hi! I have been diagnosed with celiacs and hashimotos for about 1.5 years. I have been on a gluten-free diet since then, and was on a strictly AIP diet for about 6 months a while back. I'm now pregnant, making food eliminations really hard. However, even with cutting out gluten and cross-reactive foods like corn, dairy, oats and yeast, I'm still having flare ups and I cannot pinpoint the foods (some weeks I am fine, others not so much). My symptoms are less digestive and more dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of being "sick." Can anyone relate? Does anyone have guidance? I feel really stuck and frustrated.

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.
