Can celiac disease cause fever?

My daughter has been having stomach issues and also seems to get these unexplained low-grade fevers sometimes. We are getting her tested for celiac disease. Can celiac disease actually cause a fever in children or adults?

It is not a very common symptom, but sometimes severe gut inflammation can make you feel slightly feverish or hot. Make sure you are strictly eating clean, home-cooked gluten-free food like khichdi to let your digestive tract rest. But if the fever is high, definitely get it checked.

I can only share what happened with me, but whenever I accidentally eat gluten, my body goes into overdrive. I get terrible chills and a low-grade warm feeling, almost like a mild fever. I always have to consult my doctor when this happens just to be sure it isn't something else.

I totally get it, dealing with weird symptoms like this can make you feel so exhausted and lost. Sometimes when your body is fighting the inflammation from celiac, you can feel feverish and weak. Please rest as much as you can and take care of yourself.

I know how miserable that warm, achy feeling can be when your stomach is upset. When my system is struggling, I drink warm ginger water or plain dahi-chawal to soothe my gut and bring down the internal heat. But please do see a doctor if the fever doesn't go away in a day.

In my thirty years of dealing with this, I have noticed that a bad gluten reaction can sometimes make the body feel hot and tired, like a mild flu. Don't worry too much, just stick to simple, safe food and let your body heal. It passes once your system clears out.
