Low-grade Fevers Related To Celiac?

Before I found out about the diagnosis of gluten intol, I seemed to get frequent "24 hr" or a few day long "stomach flus" with a very low (98.8-99.4ish) grade fever. These seemed to happen about once a month or so, or once every 2 months (more frequently than other people) and I even had it happen for the first time gluten free about a week ago- Nausea upon eating, dizziness, bloating, fatigue, low-grade fever lasting about 36 hrs. I always thought I was just sick- especially because of the fever, but I am wondering if it was Celiac all along, and not that I caught a bug? Celiac does cause inflammation in the small intestine, and technically, anything with inflammation can cause a fever. Anyone else experience this?

My celiac son always seemed to have a low grade fever. Since he's gone gluten-free, I've noticed it a lot less, though. Don't know for sure if it's related, but I've always thought it was for the same reason you said (the inflammation).

I used to get those low grade 24 hour "flus" 3-4 times a month. I haven't had that in almost two years now.

That's exactly what I experienced. I can look back now and see many times I thought I was coming down with something.... and now I suspect it was gluten intolerence the whole time.

That's exactly what used to happen to me, too. I thought I just was prone to viruses! If I had a trip or a special occasion coming up, I would avoid crowds and try and stay healthy. :blink: It happened right at the beginning when I went gluten-free. It hasn't happened since, though.

Thanks so much for posting this! My Dad has soooo many health problems and this happens to him frequently. For the past few months I've started suspecting his problems are from celiac disease. He's been to 2 docs and now going to a 3rd soon. The first 2 refused to test him. This just gives him more ammo for pushing it!

Thanks!

I've had that happen a lot, too. Now I realize it's from gluten, since I generally feel flu-ish when I get glutened. Achey and tired and cold and crappy feeling. Chalk it up to YET ANOTHER thing related to celiac...sheesh

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Joe R · Posted

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency?  I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should get more information regarding the consequences of not having IgA from an expert. I live in Atlanta and surprisingly I have yet to find an immunologist that specializes in this area. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who I con consult with?  I’m sure that telemedicine consults can easily be accomplished these days if I can’t find a local...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
