Yes, for me it is anyway. I was nauseated much of the time in the months before being diagnosed. Nausea is one of my symptoms when I accidentally eat gluten and I usually vomit a few times in the first few hours of the reaction.
If you're vomiting, make sure you're staying hydrated. I find drinking water is almost guaranteed to make me feel sicker when nauseated so I usually suck on ice cubes and sip on Pediatyle or even better, suck on frozen Pedialyte.
If you're nauseated even when you haven't accidentally consumed gluten I would look into the possibility of another food intolerance or condition in addition to Celiac.

I spent many years being nauseated (amongst other issues) and not realizing why - I thought it was stress. It's also one of my tell-tale signs now along with mouth ulcers when I've had a little cc issue.

Yes, nausea was my warning symptom to look for the nearest bathroom, quickly!

I was a little bit nauseous before I was diagnosed, but now that I've been gluten-free about 6 weeks, I've definitely noticed that I get really nauseous if there has been some cc. I start feeling really nauseous about 1.5 - 2 h after I eat something bad. it's also a warning sign to me too now that I should make sure a bathroom is nearby.

For many years, my main symptoms were persistant anemia and nausea. Once diagnosed and on the diet, the nausea lessened to the point that I only get nauseous now if glutened.

Extreme nausea. And my very first symptom. In fact, throwing up became daily habit. Sadly, when I was a college student I was accused of being bulimic by my roommates and worse by the campus doctor. I was a very broke college student and one who never went to the doctor, but I was so tired of getting sick all the time and finally made an appointment. I really had no other symptoms at that time to share with the doctor, so the doctor told me I must be bulimic. I was so discouraged by a doctor accusing me of being bulimic it took me years and years to go back to a doctor with all the other symptoms I began having. Nearly 20 years after that horrible experience with the Campus Doctor, I was diagnosed with Celiacs.
