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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
