High Fever After Being Glutened?

My wife is an asymptomatic Celiec so it's real hard to tell if she has been glutened or not. After a beach trip with the girls this weekend and LOTS of eating out at restaurants, she began to feel tired and quesey Monday. On Tuesday she had the big D, bloating and the normal symptoms of a glutening (for others that is. She never had any symptoms before) but then she spiked a fever of 102 last night. The fever broke pretty quick and now she seems fine.

Our 2 kids have the upper respitory crud right now so it could be just a virus I am curious. Celiac is an autoimmune disease so a fever doesn't sound too far fetched.

Thanks in advance!

There's some nasty sickness floating around these days.

Both my kids have stuffy noses and my son still has the uberpoopies after about 5 days--the first 2 days with a low-grade fever. He is not Celiac. He just had a "bug." My daughter, who is Celiac, also had the uberpoopies, but only for about 2 days, no fever, and was not glutened.

I had fevers when I was sick with Celiac before I figured it out and went gluten free. Fevers seem relatively rare but certainly nothing unusual.

My older son often gets a fever when he gets glutened, but only low-grade (usually around 99.5.)

I don't know where you live but there is indeed a nasty little bugger of a bug going around here in Western Mass. It does include both fever and tummy troubles and strangely enough many people I have spoken to have reported shoulder and neck pain with this thing (usually preceding the bug) like a stiff neck from sleeping wrong. But 4 separate people have mentioned it - so makes me wonder. My daughter and I (both celiac) had this bug and don't think we were glutened.

But, aside from that, pre-diagnosis when my daughter was really, really, sick with Celiac symptoms, they were accompanied by a continuous low grade fever.

Hope you figure it out.

I was running a fever of about 101 degrees every day starting at midafternoon into the evening until I was hospitalized. From what I understand, I was pretty far gone at that point. I was sick for several yrs. before I started running fevers. A random glutening does not cause a fever now that I am healed.

I have been glutened several times since starting the gluten-free life style and each time I get a high fever, with chills. Once the fever leaves then I start feeling better. It usually comes on the second day and lasts several hours.

Thanks for all of your posting. I recently had an inadvertant glutening, a swallow of barley tea which I mistook for regular tea. I had low grade fever and was miserable, but it was weird, it was on day 4, 8 and 9 after the glutening that I had the fever. I was really wondering if this could be from the glutening, so I read your posts with interest.

I know this an old thread but I want to add my experience for when others coming looking.

I get fevers when glutened. 99.2 F up to spikes of 100.3. I don't know how long they run. One time was 4 days before I figured out what I was eating that had wheat in it. As of may 8, 2009, I am on day 5 of fevers in 6 days of a gluten challenge. and boy am I eating gluten - 3 xs a day :( At least I now know what it is and I don't think to myself. "oh I need to rest, I'm running a fever," and therefore my life doesn't completely fall apart. I can keep taking care of my son and house and life...

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
