Auto Immune Fevers?


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

So it used to VERY common for me to run fevers for days growing up. But I have not had issues with it in a few years till recently.
For the past few months I have been running a fever nonstop 102-104F, would not have really noticed it aside from constant sweating sometimes. Anyway I keep checking my temp and seeing it always in this range, no fatigue, sometimes a bit of a mild headache, no pains, the vomiting stopped weeks ago with diet eating habits, and enzymes, stools formed solid and going 3-6 time a day...but I eat a ton.

Really odd part here, a forehead thermometer will show my temp to be 97,6 all the time. Oral, Underarm, or rectal core temp is is the 102F-104F sometimes spiking to 105F.  Wondering if autoimmune related. I even have spreadsheets of them throughout the day, with no correlation to foods, meds, exercise etc. Just completely random.

I welcome any insight or opinions.

Ennist_Tx,

I am not saying this is what it is ...but it bears checking into.

Persistent, intermittent fever could be reactivated EBV. ... it also known as CAEBV.

Here is some research about it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC358181/

Persistent, intermittent fevers is one of the main characteristics of CAEBV.  Your probably don't have fatigue most people have because you are taking Magnesium.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Ennis_Tx,

If you want to try and bird dog it yourself and don't have enough insurance to go see a doctor at the moment.

Here is the AAFP site article about this topic of a Fever of an Unknown Origin (FUO)

https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/1201/p2223.html

Again I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

Posterboy,

Yikes  Ennis. I have not come across this before. I do want to chime in to wish you clarity, health, and healing soon.

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.

      Here is a recent reply to a Celiac.com email asking for comment about gluten contamination detected in their bakery products: You can read more about it in this thread:

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.
