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.

Hey there your not alone no desire to have sex is what made me go to the doctors in the first place 2002

It will get better

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.
