Fever Celiac Disease: How fever can be the symptom of a disease

Fever Celiac Disease is not a disease in fact. Generally, Fever is not a symptom of celiac disease but it may occur as an obscure manifestation of celiac disease. 

How Can Fever Be e a Symptom of a Disease?

Fever itself is not a disease but a temporary rise in body temperature than normal. Fever may usually occur because of any abnormal internal body changes. This might be because of inflammation, autoimmune disease or maybe when the body is fighting off viral or bacterial infections. Besides, fever may also occur because of vaccination. Even it may arise as a reaction to certain medications. Whenever the human body notices these situations, it raises the body temperature and signals our nervous system to take particular actions. Our normal body temperature is 98.4°F.


Symptoms of Fever

• Body shivering and feeling cold

• Headache 

• Feeling exhausted 

• Bitter taste 

• Sweating 

• Muscle aches


Celiac Disease 

Celiac disease is a genetically gained autoimmune disease. It occurs due to the ingestion of gluten products. Generally, some ready meals like cakes, bread and pasta are common sources of gluten. It's a barely curable disease. However, only 25-30% of people can manage to diagnose this disease. The complexity is, that the disease may develop new & severe stages if not diagnosed earlier. 

Common Symptoms Include 

• Diarrhoea 

• Stomach aches

• Constipation 

• Fatigue

How Fever Manifests the Celiac Disease?

As mentioned earlier, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is a condition where the body's immune system can not recognize a foreign particle properly and mistakenly attacks the body's healthy, functioning parts or tissues. In the case of celiac disease, the body immune system mistakenly finds the gluten as a foreign particle and attacks it which causes inflammation and eruption in the small intestine. The reason for this behavior of the immune system is unknown but it is a genetically gained disfunction. However, as many autoimmune attack causes inflammation, sweating and heat generation in the affected area most of the time, it may also increase the body temperature leading to fever as the indication of a disease. Similarly, celiac disease also may cause fever as an indication of the disease.
