Although you may never know if it was gluten or a virus... there is a good chance it was something he ate. I discovered my own sensitivities by going on an elimination diet. ( only rice and fruit unconsciously, no less as I was wanting to lose weight) The first time I really cheated it was a chocolate cream cheese brownie that gave me a reaction which was very much like the flu. My temperature shot way up like your sons but it didn't hold there for more than a couple of hours. Then just as quickly, it went. It was very strange. It has happened again since then with only gluten. When this first happened, I concluded it was only the milk/cream cheese that caused the reaction. Later ( recently )I realized the wheat was also part of it. Thank God it wasn't the chocolate ( at least non-milk chocolate ).
