Charting-Changes After Going Gluten Free Possible?

Me and my husband started trying to conceive February of 09. I had two miscarriage one in September and one in October. About 6 weeks ago I found out that I am gluten intolerant and so I removed gluten out of my diet and in turn started eating a lot healthier than I used to. I'm curious though whether going gluten free can change your morning temperatures? I've been charting since we started but the past couple months I stopped charting. This cycle I started temping again to see when AF would be on her way at cycle day 25. AF has never showed later than cycle day 34(usually shows before day 30) and I am now on day 36 with no signs of her showing. I am having all of my pregnancy symptoms but am still getting negatives.

Does anyone know if going gluten free can change your temperature levels at all?

This is my current chart: Open Original Shared Link

But according to that it almost looks as if my ovulation was celiac disease 28 however my coverline is usually around 97.1 so that seems impossible. For a chart for me it looks more like it's gone triphasic. I'm just frustrated with these negatives and I've almost beat the length of my second pregnancy cycle.

If this was confusing, sorry! It's hard to explain the complexity of my cycle this month...but I'm really only curious whether or not going gluten free could cause your monthly temps to be higher than before, since my pre O temps are usually below 97 degrees.

I would think its possible. I started charting in January so that I'd have some practise at charting by the time we started TTC. I also was eating gluten in Jan as I needed to be tested for Celiacs (long story, but the biopsy came back positive). My pre O temps have always been below 97 degrees. I've only been gluten free for a few weeks so I don't know if enough time has passed to affect my pre O temps. But my naturopathic doctor did say that eating gluten could be affecting my thyroid (which blood tests showed that its lazy) which can definitely affect pre O temps. Taking Charge of Your Fertility mentions having your thyroid checked if your pre O temps are below 97.

So, perhaps eating gluten was affecting your thyroid causing the pre O temps to be low. Or eating gluten could have been affecting the pre O temps without causing issues with your thyroid.

I think going gluten free really did change my temps. Very odd. But every month my temps have been higher, even hitting the 98's which is rare for me. I just found out I am pregnant on Monday!! My positive tests are darker than they ever were with my two last pregnancies, and this pregnancy is giving me very high temps which I think is a good sign for me! So excited, I really do think that gluten was causing me issues with my last pregnancies. It is the only thing that could explain it really... My temps never hit 98 with my last pregnancies and today my temp was 98.4 and my positive tests are darker than they ever were with my last pregnancies and I am taking them earlier than before.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      So if the normal range for your tests is below 15.0 U/mL, and your results are 120.9 U/mL HIGH, it definitely looks like you could have celiac disease. Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm this, but with such high results it is also possible that the diagnosis might be made on your blood test results alone (more info on that is below). This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.  In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:
