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.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.

      Tums is an antacid.  Calcium (also vitamin D) need it acidic for absorption, so you're not really getting any calcium benefit.  Try DGL, it coats rather than counteracts acid. You need acid anyway to digest and get those vitamins. It's usually not too much acid that causes heartburn, it's not enough acid which causes food to rot and ferment in the stomach. Try DGL, everyone I've gotten to actually try it has had great relief. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IAJW0K
