[Litkate]

Hi my name is kate me and my mom are getting tested for celiac on thursday which i just know we have. Can you get missed periods with undiagnoised celiac disease. Well i have had missed periods for a long time since 2012 could have been earlier not sure. Might miss a month or 2 or sometimes miss no month till after say having it 2 months in a row. Past few months my period has come but still iregular, I went off gluten for 4 weeks when i went back on the gluten So the test can be acruate my period over 2 weeks late even though it can be irregular, and then last month it didnt come at all what so ever. I know it has to be the gluten causing it. I herd can be comon in undiagnoised snd untreated celiac

Yes, it can cause that.  Celiac disease can interfere with absorption of nutrients by the gut.  That means you may be low on critical vitamins and minerals your body needs to heal and maintain itself.  Celiac can actually affect any part of the body because of this nutrient issue.  Brain, nerves, skin, joints etc can all be affected.

Hi,

Lactose intolerance is a symptom of celiac disease.  Celiac damage stops the vili from making lactase, an enzyme we need to digest dairy.

If you do have DH, you should probably see a dermatologist.  DH can be hard to detect in blood tests. So they do a biopsy of skin near a lesion but not on it.  DH is a very itchy rash and usually appears symmetrically on the body (both elbows, knees, etc.  They check the skin biopsy for IgA antibodies to gliaden.  There are other skin conditions that people with celiac can get though. 

Celiac has a genetic link so people in families get it more often.
