There are many conditions not related to gluten that can cause night sweats, one of which is TB/Tuberculosis...yes it is still very much alive and around us...not saying it is...but early infections, this included, can cause severe night sweats. Go back to your doctor. TB can often be ruled out by a simple skin test or a chest x-ray. Night sweats tell you SOMETHING is going on....

Thanks Skylark. I will get the vitamin and thyroid levels you suggest checked. I am afraid a doctor may question my celiac dx as it has never been confirmed, at least by any of the modern standards.  The dx of DH was another of those night time consults of  a doc saying sure looks like it and giving me Dapsone ointment when nothing else would clear it up. It reappears whenever I have had a bad exposure to gluten. I seem to be more and more sensitive to any exposure to even trace amounts of gluten. I will also ask for the dairy and soy allergy tests as my daughter's tests with enterolab came back with cassein and soy as culprits for her as well as gluten. Thanks for the info.  I sure am not going back on gluten for anyone to prove I can't tolerate it.

One other thing to consider is the psychological effects of continual glutening. Although new to the diagnosis, I am a 60 yr old nurse. We are very stubborn and figure we know it all. I don't think the effects of braindfog can be understated....My judgement WAS impaired!!! It is really scary. I didn't get just how much an effect it was having. It is possible that once you are in the home cooking for your family.....and I would suggest trying to enlist EVERYONE's cooperation...tell them it is for YOUR benefit!!
that your mother might improve....or...maybe notice a Real difference when glutened. I know, I did. My reactions got severe!!! My thinking got much clearer and I was able to see the difference my diet was making. I hope for everyone's sake that life improves.

OK folks!!! This is the newbie question of the week..  Why can't we just have a lactose intolerance test done?  I used to work in the lab and we routinely ran these.  Do these not pick up the lactose intolerance that frequently goes along with celiac??

The fat issue was sort of my suggestion. Try adding olive oil with chicken broth and what ever veggies you can tolerate to that rice and/ or lentils with chicken and maybe some kind of seasonings??? Onion/garlic if you can tolerate will go along way to adding variety to your diet.You need to get some fats back into your diet. Have you tried any fish?? Again thank you for your dedication and service to your country.  You deserved far better treatment!!!
