Does celiac disease/Gluten Consumption Cause Menstrual Issues?

Can gluten consumption in celiac disease or NCGS cause menstrual issues? My hormones have been a mess recently. I take birth control pills daily and have for years. I was consuming something with gluten daily for a month or so without realizing it. I was also taking digestive enzymes after I realized my mistakE thinking it would help.  I am about 2.5 weeks out since getting back to the gluten free lifestyle. I was really sick and was having lots of issues and symptoms from head to toe basically and have been exhausted. I noticed my hormones felt out of whack (irritable and extra sensitive and crying easily) and then I started having a lot of lower abdominal cramps but couldn’t tell if they were intestinal or girl issues, but I’ve ended up dealing with my period early. So I’m really wondering if there is a connection between the gluten and hormonal / menstrual issue here. Thanks

We have had many posters on this forum report that gluten consumption adversely affects their menstruation. And I'm sure it's one of the complications I have seen in the lists of health problems associated with celiac disease. Have you googled it?

Thank you. I have not googled it, and I tried to search on this forum but was unsuccessful finding any posts.

On the forum, try alternate terminology like "period" or "monthly period" or "menses".

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
