An unusually late period

[NotChelsea]

I have been gluten free for 3 years. Before I was diagnosed with celiac, my period would last 3 days and only happen once every other month. It started to normalize once I took gluten out of my diet. 

Recently, I believe I’ve been glutened somehow because I am extremely tired, my head hurts, and my anxiety seems to be through the roof. Not only that, but my period is two weeks late. I’m curious as to whether or not one instance of being glutened has be possibility of wrecking my cycle? Or maybe this is just a rare instance in which it truly is late and all my symptoms are because of it being late?

 

Note: im not malnourished nor is there any chance of me being pregnant.

the only way to be sure you are not pregnant, is that you were totally abstinent.  something has altered you hormones, see a doc.

What ended up happening? This same thing is happening to me right now, I got glutened and my period is super late.

@Averypolk- I bet that gluten can mess with your cycle by stressing your body.  I never had a period during finals week when I was a student.  Same thing happened to my teen.  Stress can get you, mental or physical.  

Of course, there is a possibility you could be pregnant.  But only you would know that.

It was the stress of getting glutened and I had a grad school interview to stress about too!! but started today so hopefully i’ll get back to normal. Thanks for the advice!
