Irregular Periods Post Gluten Free Diet

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 8/20/05 and began a gluten free diet from that day. I now have extremely irregular periods. I am not near menopause yet. Has anyone experienced this ? I had very predicatable periods before going gluten free. I am not pregnant either. (Neg preg test today) I appreciate all replys.

Thank you,

Donna

I have been so irregular for the past 10 years. My new doctor thinks that celiac disease could be the cause of it. I go months and months without a period. I have had very low iron for years too. One doctor thought I was starting early menopause but the estrogen levels were normal. It would be interesting to find out if this is another symptom of celiac disease.

Yeah, I was gonna say too that it could be low iron and your body is trying to conserve. It more likely the celiac itself and not the gluten free diet that is whacking it up. I'm on the pill, so I don't have the same problem.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
