Vomitting With Gluten Ingestion?

My daughter has been gluten-free for almost 8 months now, and is very good about knowing what she can and can't eat, as well as always asking before eating anything (since she is the only one gluten-free in our House). She has had 3 accidently ingestions over the months and we alway know when b/c she vomits profusely. NON stop for hours. Thank goodness I am an ER nurse and have a great supply of anti-emetics at home, car, and camper, just in case. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there that had a kiddo with this same response??? I have only read about stomach pain, or diarrhea, but never the vomitting. Thanks for any input. :D

Hi, sorry about the glutening.

yes, many celiacs present with vomiting. I didn't save the source, but I once read that it is especially common for kids to present atypically. in any case, it stood out in my mind because vomiting was my son's *only symptom.

If we didn't have a confirmed celiac already in the house, we probably could have gone on for years thinking my son got lousy stomach viruses.

Just curious, what do you use for an anti emetic? I didn't even know you could buy anything like that OTC. I remember my doctor used to give me a med called Tigan but I eblieve that is no longer being marketed. (I am asking this for myself, not for my celiac). Anyway - hopefully you won't need them too much in the future. Congrats on going 8 months successfully. heidi

For small cross contamination, my son does not vomit - only bad attitude and diarrhea. But if he gets a lot he'll vomit. Before diagnosis he was vomitting every few days. And my daughter now will throw up whenever she eats gluten (she's only a year and a half so stopping her from eating someone else's goldfish crackers when my back is turned is not always possible). It's a small amount, luckily for us.

My daughter is the same way. Last time she had a big gluten accident, poor bug was vomiting for about three hours. Oddly enough, she doesn't get diarrhea afterward, just the profuse vomiting. She'll also run a high fever the next day, it's gone as high as 104. But if it's a small accident, she'll just get cranky and tired.

My DD does vomit, but only 2 or 3 times. My other DD does not.

Vomiting might be a good thing in this case, it might get rid of most of the gluten. Not fun, but could reduce long term effects I would think. Plus it will DEFINITELY encourage her to stay gluten-free :D

My dd also vomits when she accidentally gets glutened. It, also, goes on for hours. Her celiac testing was inconclusive by the allergist. But since going gluten-free, it only happens now once in a while when she accidentally gets something.

I am 49 now, and looking back, I see that I have had a variety of symptoms at different times throughout my life. One of the most disturbing was in my early twenties, when I would wake up burpng a sulfur taste that was identical to the taste of hard boiled eggs. This would go on for most of the day, and every single time, I would start vomiting over and over again. It wasn't the flu. I would get it probably every three to four weeks, and the cycle went on for months. It was horrendous.

Hi.

This is what happened to me yesterday. I vomit so may times none stop until everything was out.

After that experience I was better.

Is very hard for me to vomit. I take it as another wonderful give from Celiac.

Best regards.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      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?

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      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.
