Fever?

Hi!

I am curious if any of your children get a fever (slight or higher) when they have been glutened?

Thanks!!

Since, no one else has answered, I will answer for ME, not my child.

I do get a low grade fever when I've been glutened. I'm a low temp person (in the 97.5 range) and jump to 99 with gluten. For the auto-immune response to include a fever isn't really strange when you think of as an immune-response.

Thank you for your response, that is really good to know. We came home from a b-day party on Saturday and both of my children (4 and 20 months) came down with a low-grade fever and I had a migraine. They both have celiac disease and I eat gluten-free as well. I thought this might be a response to getting something.

Thanks!!

Hi, my husband has gluten intolerance.. even before they diagnosed him with it, he used to have a very low level fever sometimes - The doctors first checked him with virus/bacteria tests (a year ago) did not find anything, sent us home and said that eat well - anyway.. the symptoms got worse...they diagnosed him with IBS....symptoms got worse....Finally we found out that he has gluten intolerance - he became gluten free 100%, but still his low fever was there and appered especially when he got TIRED....one day it was there the next day it was gone....

Finally, we saw a nutritionist - he told us that, parasites can do that, they can actually cause food allergies or intolerances like gluten intolerance - so for the last 10-15 days, he has been gluten free, he has been avoiding complex carbohydrates and using some supplements, they basically cleans his body from those parasites....he is feeling GREAT, no fever so far. honestly, I have never seen him this good for the last 2 years.

I hope this helps. the link among parasites, food intolerances, and fever sounds so reasonable and logical to me.

I was diagnosed with Coeliac's about two months ago. Prior to diagnosis I was regularly experiencing a low grade fever and I would expect I was getting a cold or the flu, and then nothing would happen.

Now since going gluten free I have noticed that I get a low grade fever if I accidentally ingest gluten so have figured it was a gluten reaction. It is good to know that others experience this reaction also.

My daughter has the same reaction as Nikki2003, she runs a low grade fever, is lethargic and lays around a lot. She will also tell me that she is getting sick when this happens, that she doesn't feel well.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
