Anyone else had night sweats before going gluten-free. I hope it isn't just me. When you look up night sweats you get nervous.

haven't been diagnosed yet (gluten free diet seems to help me though) and nightsweats is one of my many symptoms

Before being diagnosed almost 2 years ago, I could set my clock by the times I had to get up and change my t shirt or put a new towel around my neck. if the cold wet didnt wake me up the sweat smell did. -- After going gluten-free it stopped in 2 days!

Count me in. I thought I was in early menopause, it happened so often. I have not woken-up in a pool of sweat since going gluten-free in Jan.

My hubby has woken up (or I woke him up in fear of one of us drowning) many nights before going gluten-free from night sweats. Ever since he's been eating gluten-free food, he's been fine! And I've had to change the sheets only once a week now!

I have to have my bedroom very cold at night to prevent the nightsweats. DH works overseas, but when he is home, he sleeps in another room. It is just too cold for him!

not me,I run cold,

but my hubby gets night sweats from dairy. He eats lots of gluten.

so not just gluten as a culprit

I have been on an elimination diet for 7 days (no gluten, dairy, meat products etc) and my nightsweats of 20+ years stopped on the 2nd night. It was wonderful. Last night I ate a "gluten free and lactose free" muffin right before bed. I had nightsweats and bad dreams. The only ingredient listed that seems iffy is guar gum. Does anyone know if guar gum can trigger a response like gluten? I'm so thrilled with not having sweats, I'll stay gluten free forever.

Yes!!!

My hubby used to get terrible night sweats before going gluten-free.

He doesn't get them at all now :)

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
