Nausea

So I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease months ago and have since been on a strict gluten-free diet. If I wake up semi-early in the mornings, I feel nauseous and sometimes can’t even eat. It’s mainly in the mornings but sometimes I have bursts of nausea throughout the day. And no I’m not pregnant. Has anyone else dealt with this? Or does anyone know any tips? I have prescribed nausea medication that helps but it would be preferable to no longer be nauseous everyday. Please reply with some tips or info, thanks!

Did this happen before GFD? Avoid low fat foods. Alka Selzer helps. Try to eat more frequently, eat things that make your tummy happy. This article might be helpful.

For example, low levels of vitamins D or B-12 might cause nausea in some people.   https://www.livestrong.com/article/547745-nausea-and-low-vitamin-d-vitamin-b-12/

Hi Lexi

I have a couple of friends who suffer nausea that is related to their cycle.  This problem started in their forties so it could be linked to perimenopause hormones?   I don't know how old you are but that might be something to consider.

Other things that I find can make me nauseous:

* gluten exposure

* eating too much rich food too late at night 

* gastritis

* ear infection ( the type of nausea that makes you feel a bit 'seasick")

Lastly, try to keep a diary - a bit laborious but worth it - of the foods you are eating and things you are doing and see if there is a pattern emerging.

@Lexi307,

Welcome to our forum!  

Nausea can be an early symptom of Thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine is Vitamin B1.

Since changing to a gluten free diet, you may not be getting enough Thiamine in your diet.  Have you been referred to a dietician or nutritionist as part of follow up care for Celiac Disease?  A nutritionist can give you advice on a nutrient dense gluten free diet.

Wheat based products (and barley and rye) are required by law to be enriched with vitamins and minerals removed during processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods are not required to be enriched with those nutrients.

If you're eating lots of gluten free processed foods, you may not be getting enough thiamine.  

Thiamine is found in meat and fish.  Veggies, fruit, and dairy products have very little thiamine.  Liver is an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals, including thiamine, Vitamin D, and B12.  

Thiamine helps stop mast cells from degranulation (part of the inflammation process) and curb some of the effects of a glutening.  

Thiamine helps in digesting those rich meals.  Thiamine is needed to turn fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy for your body to function properly.

Thiamine has been shown to alleviate premenstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps, and perimenopausal and menopausal hot flashes.  

Another early thiamine insufficiency symptom is vestibular changes (inner ear balance)...those "mal de mer" feelings...and hearing loss.  

A form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine (available over the counter) helps heal the intestines.  I take a 50 mg capsule with each meal.  

Thiamine is safe.  Any excess your body doesn't need will be harmlessly excreted in urine.

Here's more information...

Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

Welcome to the forum @Michelle3012. You replied to an older post, so it's possible the original posters may not be following this thread now, but I wanted to chime in on this topic. Can you tell us more about your situation? Are you a diagnosed celiac? If so, is your diet 100% gluten-free? Do you eat outside your home, like in restaurants?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
