This is interesting. I have run fevers as long as I can remember. My mom has told me that I ran a lot of fevers as a baby. Testing has never shown anything. Now, that's not to say I haven't ever had a cold or strep throat with fever.. my fevers went away after being gluten free for 6 months. Now, I only get a fever when I get glutened or actually get sick.

You might find some related threads if you do forum search on night sweats. there are several threads about them.

My daughter is 8 and gets the same fevers as you do. Low grade fevers that come in the afternoon and go away with Tylenol daily for a couple weeks straight. She has lactose intolerance and has Celiac's. However, if your doctor can't diagnose you and you continue with daily fevers, or notice rashes with the fevers have him check your SED rate. If it is elevated, he needs to consider Still's Disease. I have Still's Disease and it was very hard to diagnose. It is very rare!

I found an interesting site this evening that has to do with temp. It discusses low body temp. It says : http://www.mall-net....s/coldbody.html


I found it interesting because it says "allergies, skin and joint disorders, brain fog, lethargy" Which are just a few symptoms that align with Celiac.

I know I run a below normal temperature usually and when I get gluten I get a low grade fever.

I was just curious how many other folks out there run a below normal temp regularly.

I have the same exact thing..I thought I had this celiac thing down(found out a year ago), but I still have low grade fevers that come and go..and I also have a below normal temperature normally. I also occasionally get blisters on my tongue..I never heard of Wilsons to be honest, but is it w/ celiac or instead of celiac..because I am tired, skin allergies, joint pain..and just cant think.

Pre-diagnosis and was googling fevers and eating too much gluten and this thread came up. I feel as though I have found kindred sufferers! My normal body temp is low (97.6), which I always chalked up to being diabetic...but I just got glutened last night (my fault...ate junk all day and all of had gluten in it not to mention the fact that I was baking and had flour all over my hands. It took a couple hours to hit...but last night I was lightheaded, stomach upset, acid indigestion, headache, the whole nine yards. Finally the light headed ness and the feeling I was going to vomit left and I just had C and later D. Now, my blood sugars are running crazy and I have a low grade fever (for me) of 99. Now, after reading this thread, I don't feel so horrible and confused about what's going on!

Fluctuations in how my body temperature feels to me (not necessarily enough for fever or to be low...and then again my thermometer might be a piece of crap) is one of the few problems I've had that has almost disappeared since going gluten free. Often with the chills I'd just get that icky flu-like, everything feels kinda off and gross.

I've frankly been basically assuming the periodic low-grade fevers are from the celiac (I've eliminated most other obvious variables already and it seems like the simplest explanation). Before now, they were just another mystery thing my body did that was inconvenient and uncomfortable; I chalked it partially up to allergies/hay fever (which, for all I know, is actually the cause). Time will tell; I'm cautiously optimistic that if I'm overall healthier, it'll improve at least somewhat, regardless of direct cause.

So, I have little to contribute other than "me too," lol.

Got cc'ed last night and now I have a 100.3 fever. I think it is part of the autoimmune reaction.
