Excessive sweating


Ann Eka

Recommended Posts

Since I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2006 and have followed a gluten free diet.  I have noticed since that time I sweat excessively in the summer months and it is been getting worse, certainly not better. Anyone else find this normal?

Most members here have reported sweating as a symptom if they get gluten in their diets, do you think your diet is 100% gluten-free?

Also, over that period summer temperatures have been steadily increasing, and the last 2 summer have been the hottest recorded summers on Earth, so you may be sweating more because it's hotter.

I am very conscientious about eating a gluten-free diet and seldom if at all get anything with wheat or gluten

Another possible symptom of low Vitamin D is excessive sweating. Certain gastrointestinal problems may make it difficult for your body to absorb fat soluble vitamins.  Signs you are lacking Vitamin D

Thank you for responding to my question.  This excessive sweating has been going on for many years, more than 10, and my vitamin D levels are wnl as of March 2023.  These past two summers have been even hotter of course but wondering  if there was any other reason for this this unbearable sweating.  I do not have night sweats, and I am on low-dose hormone therapy.  I appreciate your insights.

@Ann Eka,

I sweated profusely when I was deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine helps regulate the part of the brain that is in control of the autonomic nervous system (things you don't have to think about like blood pressure regulation, digestion, body temperature regulation, etc.).  

One can have a subclinical insufficiency which in times of stress can precipitate a deficiency.  Deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as 72 hours.  One can have a subclinical insufficiency/borderline deficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an 80% increase in brain function, thus causing the symptoms to wax and wane mysteriously.

Stressors that require more Thiamine include illness, physical exercise, and hot weather.  Yes, being physically active in hot weather can increase Thiamine demands.

The Gluten Free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals.  Wheat (and other gluten based foods) are required by law to have vitamins added to them because milling and processing removes or destroys the vitamins.  Gluten Free counterparts are not required to be enriched with vitamins like gluten based foods.  Eating a diet that includes lots of carbohydrates demands more Thiamine.  The more carbohydrates eaten, the more thiamine is required.  

Hope this helps!

Within normal limits for vitamin D, ie. greater than 29 ng/ml only means you are not at risk for Rickets or osteomalacea.  Our bodies need more for the mental health and immune systems to function and for the health of our other bones and teeth and colon cancer.

     " Struggling with excessive sweat? Maybe you’re missing out on these vitamins One of the earliest symptoms of vitamin D deficiency is excessive sweating, especially a sweaty head. Lack of vitamin D will also cause fatigue, bone pain, muscle cramps, and depression."

Have you had your thyroid checked? Including antibodies? This could also be the cause.

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!
