So these are really getting to me- but not as bas as they sometimes are. Im just wondering if anyone has figured out any remedies or correlations. I have been indulging a bit in glutino berry bars, wondering if the sugar has anything to do with it? I have always felt intuitively it is a way for the body to rid itself of general toxins but of course dont know the science of it all. Im also wondering if green drinks like vitamineral green would help, it has always had a "cooling" effect for me.

I'd get tons of gas from anything like that....but keep in mind that sugar is a fuel, so depending on when you're eating it...it could be just that your body's more in higher gear rather than in resting mode.

Clarify indulging.

What meds are you on....and how is your blood pressure?

During my flare I had intense night sweats and it was caused by a lack of sodium in my body. Stopped drinking plain water and switched to broths with salt and they stopped.

prednisone can also do this to you.

Indulging- these things are basically like fig newtons, and I'm talking eating like maybe 14 in a day one package, between breakfast and dinner, or less.

On nothing but Remicade, blood-pressure fine

So too little salt? I would think sweating is a way to get rid of excess salt? Maybe I should try that

I've been getting occasional night sweats as well. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Also not sure where these are coming from, but could very well be the Remicade. Been on Remicade a little more than 2.5 years, but the night sweats started just a few months ago.

I had them way before remicade

I used to get night sweats all the time while I had UC. It was a combo of being on prednisone and being anemic. I never knew anemia caused night sweats until my hematologist told me that some people get them as a symptom. Have your hemaglobin checked.

Get checked for cystic fibrosis in your genetics.
