Chronic low body temperature, also known as Wilson's Syndrome, is related to many syndromes. It is found in many cases of allergies, apathy, chronic fatigue, "brain fog", "personal failure", depression, dizziness, hypoglycemia, lethargy, passive/aggressive syndromes, skin and joint conditions, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, past sexual abuse, yeast problems, porphyria, and many other poorly defined chronic low health states. Obviously, not all chronic problems are related to chronic low body temperature; but it may be prudent to measure one's body temperature on a routine basis to see if this is a possibility.

I found it interesting because it says "allergies, skin and joint disorders, brain fog, lethargy" Which are just a few symptoms that align with Celiac.

The disorder that they mention with this condition is called Wilson's Syndrome. When I do a search for that I came up with this site that lists symptoms of wilson's : Open Original Shared Link Check out the list it is REALLY mindblowing how many symptoms are the same as celiac.

If you have a body temperature of less than 98.6 F. and some of the following symptoms you probably have Wilson's Syndrome. This condition involves a disorder where the cells of the body are unable to convert the inactive thyroid hormone, T4, into the more active hormone, T3. Wilson's Syndrome itself does not alter the thyroid hormone tests. It may exist in association with true hypothyroidism, however. In these cases, thyroid tests may be abnormal but the usually prescribed thyroid hormones may not entirely solve the problem.

I know I run a below normal temperature usually and when I get gluten I get a low grade fever.

I was just curious how many other folks out there run a below normal temp regularly.

Wilson's Syndrome Symptom Checklist: Open Original Shared Link

I have also found several articles calling Wilson's Syndrome "bogus" So not sure what to think now, but many still believe it is a genuine condition. I would just LOVE to ask a doctor about it. I'm curious now.............especially since so many symptoms are like ours.

I have run a low temperature for years and just thought that is what was normal for me. Gues it all ties into the rest of the picture, huh? It is never over 97 and I seldom have a fever with anything. I am cold ALL the time except in summer which is very short where I live in VERY northern Wisconsin. I have a thyroid problem for which I take Synthroid, fibromyalgia and have a gluten and casein intolerance. Interesting. Barbara

Yes my body temp is usually between 97-98. I also can get cold pretty easy. I was told it is probably due to my thyroid being off.

Just happened upon this post. Yes, I run low as well, 97.8, as do my mom and sister. Mom has celiac disease, and my sister believes she has it though blood test come out negative.

This is very interesting. Some of my friends are doctors. I will ask next time I see them.

Yes, mine's lower, too. Weird... I don't know the Fahrenheit though, since we measure it in Celsius. But still, it's under...

Especially, when I glutened myself accidentaly.

I do not know my temp, but I am ALWAYS freezing. No matter where I go...I am always bundled up in many layers. In blood tests that I have taken, my iron levels have been very very low. I assumed my being cold was related to low iron and anemia?

minibabe Contributor

I am just really glad that my boyfriends car has heated seats, or else I would almost never leave the house.....I am always cold and always bundeled up, and my hands are always really cold to the point where it affects my typing(makes me slower). I should start keeping my temp. on a regular basis and when I go back to the doctor ask about it

skbird Contributor

I'm not usually all that cold but my temp is usually low 97s. I have asked about it being related to thyroid but told that my labs are all really good in that dept, and that supposedly a lot of people like to blame the thyroid because it's an easy target (not my words). Anyway, I tried taking my basal temp first thing in the morning every day for a week and kept getting 97.2 - 97.4. Whenever I go to the doctor I have a lower temp like that and have asked about it but they always shrug it off. I first looked into Wilson's Syndrome about a year ago because some of my liver enzymes in my labs were lower than the low end and I wondered if there was something wrong there. When you ask a doc about having too low of enzymes in your liver they all say, nothing's wrong. Then why do they have a low end of the range? I don't get that.

Hi!

Mine is usually 97 - 98, but I have hypothyroid which can cause that.

Mine ranges from 94.5-96. 97 and above feels like a fever to me. When I get glutened my temperature rises but I rarely have a"fever" (over 98.6) with anything and ever since I developed Celiac symptoms I have been FREEZING where I used to be hot all the time. Weird.

tarnalberry Community Regular

It's is very common to have a body temperature under 98.6. Very low can be a sign of hypothyroidism, but in the 97 range is still normal. The distribution of body temperatures in people is very wide, and the average is really just an average.

beelzebubble Contributor

my temp used to be consistently 98.8. but now, especially early in the morning, i can have a temp as low as 96.5. this is a recent thing for me, within the last year or two. i don't have any idea why, either.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
