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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
