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.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
