Hi. This question falls under the category of pregnancy and sex. I was Dx approx. 3 months ago. Does anyone know, believe, feel that sex drive and desire is related to celiac disease? Any advice is greatly appreciated....

I think there is def. a link, especially if you are not feeling good, you are not going to feel good about yourself and not have much of a drive. I think you will find that the longer you are gluten-free, the better you will feel about yourself and your drive will return.

Yes. I definately noticed after diagnoses when I was feeling better and drinking smart water. A definate increase in drive when some of the vitamin defiencies were resolved.

I certainly hope that the gluten-free diet will bring back my sex drive! Three days after I started the diet, I had a strong, burning urge, like I haven't felt in two years. My BF could totally tell the difference when we had sex, even though I hadn't told him beforehand that I was feeling something different. I haven't gotten another one of those, but I'm hopeful!

I did read somewhere that one of the symptoms is lower testosterone levels, which cause impotence in men and loss of libido in women.

In addition, I definitely think that there's a non-chemical side to this too. When I'm having constant D, I just don't feel very sexy.

I never had a sex drive problem. I certainly couldn't blame Celiac for my perfect sex drive in my younger years-though it wanes as you age,at least to me it does.I only have all of the other miserable celiac symptoms.

I feel that my sex drive def. was lacking and then after I was DX it did not get any better because I was feeling depressed. It has since gotten better, but when you get reactions to something and you are all bloated......the feeling goes away because yes, WGibs I totally understand that you dont feel very sexy.

      Manitol and mri

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
