Anyone Get Sick A Lot Even After Going gluten-free?

I have been gluten-free for a year and a half, but everytime I catch something, I get it worse than anyone else. Recently, I have had unexplained fatigue for over a month and low-grade fevers for two weeks. I only have the fevers in afternoon and early evening. Anyone with similar experiences?

It reminds me of when I had lymes disease and later Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It also could be some other kind of parasite or microbe or a bacterial infection... You should get it checked out. Unfortunately if its either lymes or spotted fever you need to take massive doses of antibiotics, or go to Europe and get a Pap Imi Machine treatments (which is what cured my Lymes by the way after 10 treatments--here in California before the doc. had to quit using this magnificent energy medicine machine due to the Feds even though the guy who invented it was a phd physicist from UC in LA).

The spotted fever I got rid of after two massive doses of cephalexen. It was hard to get Kaiser to look at what was wrong with me however. I figured I had some kind of bacterial infection and got the antibiotics from a dentist since I wanted him to remove a tooth I thought was deeply infected. It was only afterwards I learned about the spotted fever symptoms which I had had.

I also suggest you avoid all trace glutens in case you aren't. This also could wreak havoc on your system. By going off everything including lotions and soaps with vitamin E in them I no longer get ill all the time like I used to. Using fibronylitic agents such as nattokinase and bromelain/papain on an empty stomach each day has really helped to also heal my villi--since I have had celiac as it turns out since I was a very young infant first introduced to gluten grains and then reintroduced to them at age four. In addition I take co-enzyme B vitamins since otherwise I don't absorb B-1. This caused neurological degradation of the myelin sheath (it was at 50%), weakened heart, aching legs and feet, poor memory etc. Taking the co-enzyme B's changed that around pronto since then the B vitamins go directly into the blood stream bypassing the need for the liver to action them etc. Without B-1 I in effect had Beri Beri since I could not tolerate eating most protein or carbohydrates without taxing my liver etc. etc. This in itself can cause fevers if bad enough. Hope you get the connection, my body certainly did.

Good luck!

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
