Irregular Periods Post Gluten Free Diet

[de caps]

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.
