Night sweats can be a symptom of an autoimmune reaction/inflamation, so it makes sense that you have them as part of a gluten reaction.

I have lupus and have night sweats related to that autoimmune disease off and on for years. I also had terrible night sweats just before I got my gall bladder removed (turns out it was inflamed).

If you have night sweats, but don't think you were 'glutened', I would be sure to mention it to your doctor, as they can be a symptom of many things....

Good Luck,

Pam

I used to have night sweats where I would be drenched in sweat and all of the blankets would be soaked also. This seems to have gone away once I went gluten-free.

I would have night sweats when i was sick because I was scared of throwing up in my sleep, and when you are nervous about that i get all sweaty, also when I am reallyu sick, I am always sweaty

My calves used to sweat like mad at night. Nowhere else. When I was a teen, I had "growing pains" in my calves. The aching would keep me up for hours and was really painful.

Yes! It took me a while to figure out that it was gluten and not just "my age" if you know what I mean. Usually the other symptoms clue me in when it is gluten. It also smells something fierce when I have been glutened.

This was a great Post here, & very informative! I have the "night-sweats" really bad as well, but have attributed it to MENOPAUSE. I noticed only a slight change since I went "gluten-free," but am still wondering if maybe some of mine might be related to an autoimmune reaction/inflamation too? I have an Aunt who has Lupus, and Lordy, I'm sure this stuff runs in the Family!!! When my tests results came back, I was told I had alot of antibodies in my system, so your post here was most interesting! I still have my Gall Bladder tho....... many of my Family members have had theirs removed.

This is a very interesting subject to think about, and thanks for Posting! Regards! :)

I am currently getting night sweats regularly, but I think they are due to menopause. However, I have had night sweats since my early 30's when I was sick that I now attribute to the Celiac. The interesting thing is, the night sweats that I get when sick are worse than the ones I get now from the menopause. I can tell the difference because the ones caused by the hormones come about every 2 hours and wake me up, but are more mild.

I ALSO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. WOULD HAPPEN ALOT DURING THE NIGHT. NOW THAT ON THE DIET DOES NOT HAPPEN UNLESS I MAKE A MISTAKE IN WHAT I EAT. I HAD BEEN TOLD IT WAS DUE TO NOT TAKING HORMONES WHICH I WOULD NOT TAKE. STILL NOT TAKING THEM SO I AM SURE NOW IT WAS FROM THE GLUTEN.

so happy to see this post, monday night I was up all night with terrible stomach pain and sweating like crazy, it was like the heat would start at my toes and slowly work its way up, this went on all night with the pain. I can't think of any gluten I ate, but I must have been glutened, it happened twice before. I also have discord lupus.

Thanks so much for posting this! I have been waking up in the night drenched -- something I never noticed before diagnosis......haven't thought to link it to being "glutened".......I will definitely investigate.

I had bad night sweats when I was 35 (early met.) at 51 I do not now. I do perspire when I am eating. Not spicey stuff, just regular gluten free foods, especially at lunch. Don't know what's going on there :unsure:

Lisa Baker--I get that too when I eat anything anymore!! I put up a post on that. I don't understand it but it just started since going gluten-free. I also get hot burning hands as I posted before. Weird, worrisome and confusing :blink: ! Robbin

Robbin - never had this before gluten free. I don't know why, but it just happens.

Since gluten free, my hands shake. When I drink water out of a bottle, I can see the water vibrate. Don't know about that either.

If anyone can explain, please post. :)

Mine started since going gluten-free too. Maybe we are all "detoxifying"? I just hope it goes away on its own soon, because I am sooooo sick of being sick and going to the dr. Has anyone had it and it went away? How long did it take? :blink:

Yes, I also have noticed that my night sweats are a little less since I've been eating gluten-free but I think I will also have to give up my nightly glass of wine with dinner as I know when I was dieting last summer and had to give up these favorite treats I did sleep a lot better and didn't have any problems with this terrible discomfort. Beginning tonight I am giving up my wine for a week to see if this doesn't help.....sigh....

Some of this may be glutened related, many other may be "change" related issues. My peri-med symptoms lasted a good 10 years until the big "P" was gone and done with.

But......I still have strange perspiring when I am eating foods. I have not narrowed it down to anything specific and don't know even whether it is gluten related. I have no other "gluttened" symptoms to accompany the perspiring.

If anyone finds a connection, please let me know. :)

I was just about to post a question about this when I saw this thread. I have had night sweats the past 3 or 4 nights. I've only been gluten-free for a little over 2 weeks now and I'm wondering if it's a detox thing. As far as I know (and I'm still learning) I have not gluten-ed myself. I have not had night sweats for a few years until now and was wondering what was going on. Good to see that I'm not the only one.

My hands shake when my thyroid becomes more hyper and I need to adjust my meds. You might want to get tested.

I did some research on this after I posted this thread. Frey's Syndrome appears to be what I was describing. I have forgotten alot now, but it has to do with the glands re-routing themselves to the face. Perhaps when I was pre-diagnosed and had a highly dry mouth, things got re-wired.

I do have questions about thyroid, but my bloodwork did not indicate an issue. It's always something. :(

Time for another doctor!

Yes- used to have them all the time before going gluten-free. Now I only have them when I am glutened.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
