High Fever When Glutened?

[frec]

I haven't been glutened in quite a while, and I've read on this forum that gluten reactions can be worse after not eating it for a long time. I was in England on vacation for two weeks and I'm pretty sure, despite obsessive label reading, that I got glutened (probably an accumulation of that under 200 ppm bit that doesn't count in England). But I was so sick--I've never gotten that sick before--going at both ends with a temp of over 101. I recovered quickly--too quickly for a flu bug. Has anyone ever run a fever when glutened? Or (sorry to be gross) thrown up?

My oldest son sometimes gets a fever when glutened. Seems like it's always lower than what you mentioned, but he does get a fever.

As for vomitting, yes I do. The last time I had a bad glutening, I was stuck on the toilet, and PROJECTILE vomitted all over my bathroom at the same time. TMI, I know, but... yeah, it was heinous. That was the second time I'd puked from a glutening, and it was so bad, it has made me pretty hyper-vigilant to never let it happen again.

It's interesting to note, that that last pukey glutening for me was also due to a slow build-up. I tracked it down to a generic sinus medication that ended up having gluten in it. I'd been taking it every day for a week before it really slammed me.

I get a low grade fever of 100 or under with glutening. Could also have possibly been food poisoning, as I had that happen once and was just like you said. Also have kids that bring home flu bugs all the time ; D I've seen ones that were short lived like that. Once your system has cleared it out you usually get better fairly quick. So could possibly be any one of them hehe ; D You could possibly eliminate the final two just by finding out if anyone else got sick too.
