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.

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
