There has new evidence from the guy that actually came up with the wheat gluten idea that it isn't real. It is but only for those with I think Celiac disease. So no I don't it is specifically wheat gluten. It can be a food group or type of food. Have you eaten anything new lately? I would pay attention to labels too such as what is in the food. I can't eat MSG for example due to my migraines. But, keep a food diary and maybe eliminate one thing for a few days and see if you don't get sick when you eat. So try not eating wheat products for a few days and if you don't get sick try eating wheat and see if you get sick again. Or, don't drink milk products (including cheese, cottage cheese butter, etc). "That is a big one for a lot people and substitute Silk vanilla soy or something like that and see if you feel better.

Do you think it could be a gluten alergic reaction? The rash didn't itch and today it went away but I'm still getting sick. I don't feel sick until I eat...maybe it could be gluten
I wonder if you have eaten something new or became allergic to some type of food. I just read this:
One of the most common causes of rash and vomiting is a food allergy. People can develop allergies to a wide variety of foods, including nuts, dairy products, shellfish, eggs, and wheat. Symptoms include lip and mouth swelling, nausea, stomach pains, and diarrhea, in addition to vomiting. The itchy rash that typically develops is also known as hives and tends to appear as large, flat, pink or red bumps.
The symptoms tend to develop quickly, in as little as a few minutes or seconds after eating the trigger food. Most food allergies are not dangerous, particularly in someone who has been diagnosed and knows what to do if a reaction occurs. In people with severe allergies, however, the reaction that occurs can be life-threatening. Dangerous symptoms can include difficulty breathing, feelings of tightness in the throat or chest, dizziness, heart palpitations, and loss of consciousness.
Do you feel that you may have hives like these? You don't have to have all the symptoms but it sounds like it comes on when you start to eat or drink. So, it may be one or the other. You might want to try food elimination where you cut out one food at a time that you have been eating. In the meantime if you can take benedryl for the rash at night that may help. Also, calamine lotion for face if it itches or benedryl cream.
If you do have a high fever it may not be a food issue it may be infectious. So let me know what your symptoms are.

Hi, and sorry you are ill. Do you have a fever? Did you start taking any new medication before the nausea/vomiting occurred? Does the rash itch? Can you drink anything? I an worried you can be getting very dehydrated.
