<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear List Members, Thanks to all of you who responded! It has helped me so much! I received many, many responses. I had 85 people who wrote that they had either experienced vomiting due to celiac or had children who did. Some mentioned that their doctors had also told them that vomiting could not be a celiac reaction. On the other hand, one wrote to say that Dr. Joseph Murray has said in his presentations to celiac groups that vomiting is not an uncommon symptom. I definitely agree with Dr. Murray. I have been diagnosed as having celiac with an intestinal biopsy. I find it ludicrous that the doctor I went to says that I may not have celiac. The ages of those who have experienced vomiting varied--adults and children both. I was curious about this because I think my reactions have changed since I have gotten older. Some adults do experience vomiting. There were several respondents whose stories sounded just like mine. I felt better knowing that I am not the only one out there!! One person said that they didn't think vomiting was a celiac reaction and said to get a digestive aid--enzyme therapy from hfs (health food store?). Since I want to find out for sure if my problem is due to gluten, I am not going to try this yet. (No offense.) Another person mentioned a homeopathic remedy called Veratrum ALB 30C that is supposed to stop gluten reactions. If I do this one, I will be less apt to find out what my real problem is. So, again, I decided against trying this for now. My doctor prescribed medicine for my problem, but I have also decided not to get the prescription filled. I had 37 responses that all said the same thing about the blood test--you have to be consuming gluten for the test to be positive. No one disagreed about this. Those who responded to this question got their answers from reading and keeping up-to-date with information about celiac. Some got their answer to this question from their doctor. Some said that they get a blood test every year to see how they are doing with their GF diet. If you are consuming a small amount of gluten, it may or may not show up on the blood test--according to one doctor. Other items mentioned: -Find a new doctor (I'll agree with that!) -Pain above the waist or vomiting could be due to gallstones or gall bladder problems -Someone mentioned they got sick after having their teeth cleaned at the dentist. Fluoride had gluten--might be a good idea to check with your dentist about this! I hope this helps some of you out there! All the responses I received have helped me stay on track! Thanks again!!
