Fever After Eating Gluten

I am on day 6 of a gluten challenge - it is horrible, and I don't think I will continue. After being gluten free/dairy free for 3 weeks (and feeling great) - my doc wanted more blood work. The weird thing that I have noticed is that I have been running a low grade fever after eating gluten (99 - 100). Has this happened to anyone? I don't "feel" sick - have no sinus issues, cough, UTI, etc., just some tummy issues. My doc has no idea (typical), but a gal at the gluten free store said that since Celiac is an auto-immune disorder, a fever could be my bodies way of attacking the gluten? Just wondering if I am the only one who has had this problem. I don't feel like going on needless antibiotics if I don't feel sick.

I so appreciate this forum - so glad to know that I am not alone!

Yep. Unexplained fevers/chills were one of my symptoms. At one point it was so bad I thought I was going through early menopause (I'm 30). I hope you can get your testing done without causing too much damage to your body with this trial. Just curious--What is your reason for needing the additional testing? I can't bare the thought of going through that pain again just to have positive result in a file somewhere.

My daughter does...she's running one right now, after a glutening on Sunday. I brought her in to the doctor today, since it's day 4 of fever. Nothing could be found, so I'm assuming it's her immune system gone awry. Hope your challenge goes okay and you get to feeling better soon!

Hi Kors,

Enterolab offers more sensitive fecal tests for celiac disease. You can write them and describe what you've been doing and ask if their tests would be OK.

Celiacs are often infected with Lyme disease. I had that problem for years with a low grade fever - 100 or less. There is a good test for this and my blood test went from negative to positive when I went gluten-free. Drs offer a course of antibiotics which has many side effects so I decided to use hemeopathic drops available from a local ND and now I'm free of Lyme's.

      What everyone favorite Gluten Free Bread?

      By trents · Posted

      Be careful about Trader Joe's gluten-free products. There was a big scandal back this summer over some of their gluten-free products testing well out of limit for qualifying as gluten free. There are threads about it on this forum if you want to look it up. I forget which TJ gluten-free products were involved but if I recall correctly their gluten-free bagel product was among them. I don't know if the problem has been corrected.

      Yes, I am aware having the 1 or more of the Celiac genes does not mean I would necessarily get the disease but I do appreciate the reminder. My hope was just to rule Celiac out if I do not have the gene(s) and show the initial positive ttga was likely due to something else.

      Confused why I’m still low positive

      It takes time to heal. One aspect of Celiac Disease some doctors don't check for is malabsorption syndome leading to malnutrition. Non Gluten foods are not usually fortified. Vitamin D deficiency is common, 90% of the industialized population eat less than than the Adequite Intake of choline.  Iodine is 50% intake compared to 1970 and is becoming a concern.  Thiamine runs out quickly.
