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.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I can't eat DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, because of being dairy intolerant, but I can have cheddar and mozzarella cheese.  I did the EVERLYWELL test to help eliminate foods that I can and can't have.  I but the CAULIPOWER crust at and use plain tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Quite often I top it with shrimp.  Good Luck                    i

      It can be almost anything for the individual but I would suggest getting in the habit of reading labels to see if there are patterns. The form of magnesium is very important. Go for magnesium glycinate. A lot of over the counter stuff puts the emphasis on shelf-life as opposed to bio-availability. Magnesium glycinate is very bioavailable, very absorbable and isn't likely to have a laxative effect like some of the high shelf-life stuff which isn't absorbed well and draws water into the colon. Oats and dairy also cause effects a lot like being glutened for many celiacs.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hi everyone,  I don’t mean to use you all as my personal dumping ground, but the support I’ve seen on this forum is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.    So, my mother and I have always had a rocky relationship, but when I got diagnosed w celiacs, I thought we were now on the same team together. She started off saying things like “ We’re gonna figure this out together” or “I will always make sure you never have to worry about food with me” to telling my siblings that I’m not grateful enough and I don’t have a right to be upset when I get glutened bc I do so “purposefully”…   .. so I’m brand new to celiac and just learned I can’t just trust gluten-free labels unless it’s certified. I’ve been trying my best, and thanking everyone for being accommodating and trying to make things as painless as possible, so I just don’t understand. Should I be bending over backwards for people who accommodate me? Or just general gratefulness?    This whole diagnosis has further ostracized me from my family and friends, and it’s really hard not to feel completely alone. I seriously appreciate any advice you have to share!

      @trents i am only taking collagen powder and Vitamin D, but I can definitely look into Magnesium, thank you!    @Scott Adams  thank you so much for your input! I will watch closer to how I’m reacting to xanthan/guar gum from now on. Are there any other common ingredients to be on the look out for?

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing
