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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      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.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
