Anhydrosis - inability to sweat

Hi!  I was diagnosed with celiac this fall after 3+ months of debilitating symptoms.  Most of my symptoms have resolved on a gluten free diet but I still don’t feel metabolically right yet - fatigue, a little joint pain (I know my iron level is still deficient). All of my strange/alarming symptoms have gone away except that I am still not sweating.  This was one of the strange symptoms that developed about two months before I was diagnosed.  I also didn’t get sick all fall with any viruses my kids brought home - but about 6 weeks after eliminating gluten, my body started to show a reaction to colds/viruses again.   Right now, my body gets hot but I can’t sweat to cool it down.  I am curious if anyone else has this issue and has any insight about whether it went away as your body healed or whether it was linked to a vitamin deficiency.  I’m not exactly happy with the treatment I have received so far (eat gluten free and you’ll be fine) but I am planning to bring this up with my GI and endocrinology appointments next week.  Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hi and welcome :) 

i was the opposite, I used to sweat profusely when I was on gluten. It was one of those things that I never expected to be affected but gradually resolved once I was in the diet.

 

I don't think it was. Vitamin related, more to do with the way gluten affected my metabolism. Sweating is governed by the autonomic nervous system, my nerves were hammered from the gluten and gradually they recovered. The nerve damage typically takes longer to resolve so you may find you still have some. Recovery to look forward to there?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that...
