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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
