Do many celiac disease sufferers feel great sensation to cold and get chilled easily?

I have to wear a sweater when most everyone is comfortable with short sleeve. I'd would get sick if I don't wear extra clothing. Docters cannot find thyroid problem.

I know I did. I would even have a sweater in summer and lots of blankets on the bed. This did stop after I had been gluten-free a while.

Being cold all the time is a symptom of thyroid malfunction, and people with celiac disease are more at risk for thyroid problems.

My coldness went away after I went gluten free and my thyroid function improved.

I do get the chills big time! Both after meals & at night. I actually warm my side of the bed with a heating pad, because otherwise I lie there & shiver--sometimes my teeth chatter!-- while my husband is perfectly comfortable. My thyroid tests normal but I have a hunch there might be a sub-clinical deficiency, because I have some other symptoms too. But it may also be related to anemia, which I definitely have had for years.

After nearly 3 months gluten-free, I'm just beginning to feel some improvement, so be patient!

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
