<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Prior to diagnosis of Celiac Sprue, my child had a fever almost daily, from the age of 16 months to 21/2 years old. I am not sure whether it was due as direct result of sprue, or more indirect of ill-health from mal-absorption. My child is now near four years old and though has not returned to the growth chart prior to the onset of illness, is doing very well. He was having problems with chronic pneumonia and chronic sinusitis which also gave fevers. His gastroenterologist believes this is caused from reflux. He is on a medication for that which has helped reduce his fevers even more. >Has anyone who has young children (under 3) had any experience with the >ingestion of gluten causing a fever?
