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.

      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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
