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

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) .  I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir and it has really started healing my Gut. It has been about 2 months now and I am doing so much better. It was trial and error getting the right PH in the Kefir ferment that agreed with my stomach, too little ferment, too much, I finally hit the right one for me. Milk Kefir has the most probiotics than any of the other. I can't find my notes right now but there are at least 30 probiotics in Kefir, Kombucha has about 5-7 and yogurt around 3 if I recall correctly.  I wish you all the best, I know how frustrating this condition can be.

      @cristiana Hi, thank you so much, I will look into those books for sure! And get bloodwork at my next appointment. I have never been told I have TMJ, but I have seen information on it and the nerve issue while googling this devil plague in my mouth. Thank you so much for the advice!

      @trents Thank you so much, I will try that

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.
