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.

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      my ttg iga was 16.5 3 months ago and jumped to 30.1 last week. my iga was 415 and jumped to 455. This was done at a different lab though than the first test for ttg iga one had units as ml the other as cu... so not sure if they really jumped as much as shown. i am so strict on my diet and have no clue why this is happening  thank you for attaching this, could this happen randomly even after being gluten-free for so long ? my ttg iga was 16.5 3 months ago and jumped to 30.1 last week. my iga was 415 and jumped to 455.
