Night Sweats

Prior to diagnoses 3 or 4 years ago I would wake every hour having to change my t-shirt or PJ top which was ringing wet with sweat. When celiac was confirmed and I went totally gluten-free, It stopped after the 3rd gluten-free day. A few weeks ago it started

happening again although not as bad. I only wake 2 or 3 times instead 7 or 8. Still I have to wonder if this is a sign of something else, perhaps a new allergy or intolerance to something. Doc's are pretty much clueless.

Any ideas?

Are you sure you're 100% gluten free?

Do you have any other symptoms?

I had night sweats due to Babesia (a Lyme Disease coinfection). They were drenching just like you describe. You can read the other Lyme symptoms on the Lyme Disease thread in the Leaky Gut forum.

The other thing could be something like mold exposure. I had a Sleep Number bed that was full of mold. That kind of mold can cause health problems, including night sweats. You might check out www.biotoxin.info for more info on what biotoxins can do.

Gluten can cause the biotoxins as well, so that could be the reason that the sweats stopped for a time when the gluten was removed from your diet. Then they came back when the other toxins built up. Just a theory.

Thanks much Carla

I'm sure the gluten-free is not an issue as I'm extremely sensitive and extremely careful. Mold on the other hand has been a huge problem for the past 3 months. Strange weather here in Kona combined with the volcano emissions has been affecting almost everyone. Did kill it in one room but have a few others to go. Didn't link the mold and sweats so this is a BIG help!

thanks again

Hi Ken, have you had your thyroid checked recently? Sometimes thyroid problems can cause sweating.

I get night sweats too randomly and I can't figure it out. Like you, my night sweats stopped when I went gluten free, but I'll have a few weeks where it will happen every night and then it goes away again. Evening primrose oil seems to help. Thanks for the post, I thought it was just me.

I get night sweats also, when I am glutened. I have a thyroid nodule and I think the sweats are caused by hyperthyroid reactions to the gluten. I get the sweats after eating also. I just started hypertension meds, but I don't know if high blood pressure has a possible relation or not.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
