I have been having terrible night sweats, I wake up totally wet all over my body, I have ben taking my temp when this happens as told by my doctor to do and they usually are 97.6 and 97.7 sometimes higher. I have been having these for 6 months or longer I thought I was going thru menopause, but my doc say that i am not.

Sometimes I get super hot or flustered then it passes after bit. What do you think?

I was getting those for probably the last year before my dx and probably about 6 months or so after... they seem to have subsided though... (knock wood)

I was undiagnosed for a long time, and had those sweats often. They always coinsided with when I was "sick".

I don't get them anymore now that I'm gluten-free.

I am menopausal, though (blood test showed this) and get hot flashes both during the day and at night. These--for me--are very different than the ones I used to get. These are very specific--I feel them coming on, they last a couple minutes, and they subside. I don't sweat nearly as much with these.

I get bloated from beans. Legumes affect a lot of people. I don't think it's necessarily like gluten where it does damage, but I know some people have joint pain if they eat them.

I have a friend who got great relief from wearing nightwear called Dreamcare that does not get wet and cold. Their email is dreamcare@lineone.net

I know that Diabetes & thyroid can cause night sweats. Have you been checked for these?

I echo what mamaw said. My husband had terrible night sweats, and the first thing the dr. did was a lung x-ray. I'm not sure what he was looking for but he scheduled it seriously and quickly. Nothing. Next up was a diabetes check. Bingo. I never would have thought so but the dr. said in his case he can thank genetics for it. (I'm telling you this so you don't dismiss diabetes just because you think your diet and shape don't make you a candidate for it.) If your dr is not looking into it, maybe find one who will.

Night sweats have never been a part of my Celiac, but seems for others it may be.

Rebecca,

It's funny you mentioned that. I have been having night sweats (totally soaked) for over a year now. I didn't know why. I figured it was because I was really hot in bed even though I just had a comforter on me. Having so many symptoms you wonder what is real or not real anymore. I have just started gluten-free Dec. 14th, so I will let you know if it improves.

I had been tested for thyroid before, but it came back negative. Mind you I have done a lot of research on thyroid and I guess it is tricky to diagnose. <_<

I had this problem and it has stopped. I got advice from Ursula. All at once I eliminated all grain and legumes, and reduced my salicylate exposure and intake. Now the only time it occurs I can link it to salicylates.

Hope you find what is happening to you.

When I was diagnosed celiac and went gluten-free, I think not only the villi were damages but also the micro villi that keep toxins from entering the system. I am reducing my toxin level as much as I can, trying to boost my system to eliminate them through the liver and kidney more efficiently and looking for a way to stimulate healing the gut.

I mention it because I waited too long to get help. The doctors siad healing would take time and to be patient. Now it has been 7 years, I am better because of the advice I got here not from doctors. I am working to find my own answers now.

Do you have flushing? A rapid rise and drop in temp. I called it sweats for a long time. It lead the docs to link it to menapause. It is like hot flashes but I believe that my system is saciated with toxins when ever I am over exposed I have problems.

Folks here have been through it all. Describe things to the best of your ability and you will gather ideas to solve your problems. Remember everyone is different.

Good luck.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
