Endometriosis

I hope I spelled that correctly. I was diagnosed with "endo" last year. I went gluten free because I'd read it might help and my son has celiac disease......I haven't been tested, yet. Anyway, I was in agony for about a year with the endo. and I've got to say, I didn't expect much relief from a gluten-free diet. However, the very next month I was pain-free, and my cycle was 100% different from anytime in my life. I remained gluten-free for 4 months, but recently began eating gluten again in order to get a test for celiac disease. Has anyone heard of a connection between Celiac disease and endometriosis? My dr said "NO CONNECTION". Though she admitted there's a lot dr's don't understand about endometriosis. I'm just curious.

I strongly believe that they are connected. I have had endometriosis all my life and noticed a small change after I was diagnosed with Celiac in my cycle and went gluten-free. I got a huge change when I started my Reliv shakes for energy and proper nutrition and my cycle change was a big plus. It went from 8 days to 3 1/2 days long. Celiac causes you to have bad absorbsion issues that lead to the lack of nutrition which my Dr. and I definitely think its linked to Endometriosis or doesn't help matters.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.
