Pain and menstrual problems after consuming gluten

I About three weeks ago I happened to be eating a bun. Since then, I still have stomach aches, my defections are not normal, and my cycle is over a week late. I am 21 years old, I have been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity in my infancy. I'm really stressed out, and I'm afraid to go to the doctor and hear that I've caused permanent damage.

Does it make sense that it has been so long and I still suffer from pain and unregular defections? And did it happen to someone, that her period was late after consuming gluten? Did the period come back after that, and did you have to take any pills? And if I go to the doctor, which doctor should I go to, general, endocrinologist, gynecologist?

Welcome to the board. First off set your mind at ease. Your slip up did not do you any permanent damage. Any illness or bad stressor can affect our periods. If there is any possibility you may be pregnant do get tested if it doesn't start soon.  It can take some time for our bodies to heal from a good glutening. If you ate tht whole bun you got a big dose. However if things get worse or don't improve soon do make an appointment with your GP to be certain nothing else is going on like food poisoning etc. 

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you. I almost never consume gluten. Moreover, as I have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity I'm sure that "my condition is relatively fine" But the extreme reaction really made me nervous...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
