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.

Fever is one of my sons (nearly 4 yrs old) #1 "gltuened" symptom... that and the big D!

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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
