Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...
Hey everyone! I've had celiac since June 2012, but this is my first time making a post for it. For a couple months now, I have experienced severe nausea after eating, even though I have been strictly gluten free since diagnosis. I don't vomit, I just get really nauseas where I feel like I am going to. It is awful and I'm tired of feeling sick every time after I eat.
Also, twice now I have experienced the most severe stomach cramping. It feels like I am being stabbed and nothing I do can make it go away until it does on its own in about 10-20 minutes. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced.
I really have no idea what this could be. I'm only 15 years old and I don't like feeling so sick all the time and always being in bed.
Thanks for your help!

1. Are you on any medication or nutritional supplements? Sometimes they have hidden gluten in them.
2. For some people, it's not enough to eliminate the normal wheat, rye, and barley gluten. Often they must go on a grain-free diet. For instance, in addition to wheat, rye, and barley, I've also noticed that corn gives me problems.
3. Are you sure that you've eliminated all the hidden carriers of gluten, such as MSG?
4. Some people with gluten issues, also have a dairy intolerance. Maybe you should temporarily avoid dairy to see if that is also a problem for you.
Here's hoping that you figure out what is causing your continued difficulties. I hope that possibly one of the things mentioned above will help you. Take care and best wishes to you.
Thank you so much! :)
Try Lactaid with the dairy. If you have troulbe with dailry it is likely lactose intolerance. No human can digest lactose. Most have the enzyme that breaks it down into processale elements.
