Would Getting Gluten Cause A Fever?

Hunter had a slight fever Sat. night into yesterday- the day and complained of a stomach ache. He had a bunch of Oredia fries at MIL's that I'm wondering if they did it. Thoughts?

Some of the Ore-Ida fries are safe, some are not. I imagine that it's possible to get a slight fever when glutened since it causes an immune system reaction. Maybe someone more experienced with the medical aspects of the disease could clarify.

My wife gets a fever, with out fail, every time she gets gluted. Sometimes its bad enough she hallucinates. Not sure if its the same in kids but I don't see why not.

Fever is a normal immune response.

Antibodies take time to create and hence the body will try and combat the invador by raising the temperature first.

Since humans have a very low body temp compared to most mammals and beasts we can get a virus or bacteria from its not a very effective method.

From what I have seen the Orida fries that are plain are gluten free but the onces that are extra crispy are not. I guess they are coated.

Dear dahams04,

I have a list of the gluten-free items Ore-Ida makes. If you tell me what kind he ate, I might be able to help you. I can let you know if it is on the list. Many of their items are safe, as well as their other products which are made by the Heinz company. Their ketchup is okay! Enjoy it! The organic is not safe, though. I would be happy to help.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

My 2 year old daughter was just biopsied - still waiting for the results - but she would run a fever before we made her gluten-free. This is actually, in my understanding, a very common symptom in children due to the immune system reaction.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
