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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Ben98 · Posted

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
