Exhausted And Sick

For the past few weeks I have been totally exhausted, weak, and with a fever. These symptoms just come and go as they please and have left me quite confused. I get so tired I sleep all the time and if I'm not in bed then I want to be in bed, and there are days when I get a fever and am so weak I can't hardly leave my bed. I'm wondering if this could be from the celiac disease, and my gluten-free diet. I'm going to a doctor this week to see what they can tell me, but I was wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen or if anyone knows what could be wrong. Let me know if you have any suggestions on what I can do to start feeling like myself again, and to get my energy up.

How long has this been going on? If only for a couple (few) weeks, then the fever could indicate an infection somewhere. It's good that you're doing to the doctor, because it sounds like you need some labwork. Any other symptoms than fatigue and temperature? Sore abdomen? Diarrhea? Painful when you urinate? And so on.

Hi,

I have the same problems you do. I'm not sure what it is either. I did have mono not to long ago so I thought it was that, but it isn't. I have had many tests done, but none were helpful. I have been sick like this and unable to do anything for the last month. New theories are that it may be another food allergy (already have intolerance to gluten and temporarily to dairy), my doctor is also looking into problems with my thyroid, and i just started looking into candida. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes and if you discover anything new. Best of luck! :)

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t have an endoscopy for reasons unrelated to celiac disease.  I did have one 9 years ago. The DGP IgA was still slightly elevated, GI saw some blunted villi visually, biopsy showed “patchy mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes” and “focal mild villous blunting” (Marsh 3A). For the past few years I’ve had intermittent trouble with nausea and stomach pain so my current GI suggested doing a repeat endoscopy. He saw nothing visually, but biopsy showed “focal mild intraepithelial lymphocytosis” and “minimal focal villous blunting”.  All I got was a letter from the GI and his nurse that said there were mild changes consistent with celiac disease. I sent a message to the doctor asking where I go from here but just got an answer from a nurse saying it is better, less damage than 2016 so keep following the gluten free diet. So focal is better than patchy for increased lymphocytes and minimal focal is better than focal mild villi blunting? I feel this biopsy result after 13 years deserves some discussion, but this doctor never answers messages, his nurses just give out canned responses, it takes 6 months to get an appointment, and his only suggestion for nausea and pain was more soluble fiber. I’ve read that adults may not heal completely on a gluten free diet but with normal antibodies for years I was not expecting this result. I have made an appointment with a different GI who hopefully is more communicative. Rant over. Thanks for reading.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside.  I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties (wheat & gluten in beer and youthful reckess eating led to an outbreak. To the point, I am a 65 year old and now living with full blown celiac with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters that are just beginning to receed after being gluten-free for over 2 years at least. The lesions are so unsightly that I need to stay covered. Ive been living in South Florida and would love to wear shorts but people see the sores and thing I am a leper. Ive lost a lot of weigh from  stomach cramps and frequent bowel movements. Will this ever end!
