I had my tubes tied with baby #2 (11-02). The point is I quit taking the pill. I didn't noticed a difference at first, but it seems that my PMS has gotten really bad (dark moods). I thought it was not being on the pill anymore. Now I'm wondering if it could be gluten? Anyone else?

LOL, I can't believe I got PMS wrong, can I blame it on gluten too?

Of course you can!!

CarlaB knows a lot about the right minerals and supplements for dealing with period issues. If she doesn't notice this thread you could pm her. Or do a search on primrose oil on the forums.

For me, my period gets worse every month. I'm completely gluten-free too. I'm considering going on the pill to lighten my condition. The PMS is absolutely horrible. I'm forever bloated and dealing with the pain of my stomach because of Celiac. That combined with my period nearly makes it unbearable. So...I don't know if I'm just special case or what, but, something's gotta give.

I'm pretty sure gluten can have an effect on it. Maybe Carla can help you. =)

I heard your periods get worse after u get your tubes tied. Im not sure if it has anything to do with gluten. I know i have had the worst pms and periods since i started having kids. I think that is why i had 4 kids in 5 years. But I do notice i had really bad pms this month right after going gluten free, so im not sure if it was withdrawl of gluten or i just really hit iwth pms.

I cant wait to see what carla has to say, i would love any advice to make it better, and my hubby would be grateful to her to, and my kids.

Here is an excerpt from one of Carla's posts:

I taught natural family planning for 7 years and worked with all aspects of women's cycles. There are things you can do dietarily to help with PMS. Lots of times it's associated with a luteal phase deficiency, which is the time from ovulation till the first day of menstuation. It's important that you get enough vitamins, particularly B6 and magnesium. I wouldn't supplement B6 by itself, rather in a B complex ... it can be too hard on the nervous system. I would take a magnesium/calcium/zinc supplement in addition to your multiple vitamin. I would buy the one with the most magnesium. Also, as someone else mentioned, Oil of Evening Primrose, all month, not just during PMS. Since celiacs have a problem with elimating too much fat anyway, I would have a hunch you have low essential fatty acids. Since the female hormones are fat soluble, this can cause problems.

If that doesn't work, you can try using natural progesterone cream, not wild yam (it can have wild yam, but it also needs progesterone, wild yam does not work on its own). Start using it halfway through your cycle and stop the first day of menstruation.

Thanks all! Cramps have been fine since having kids, but I tell you I have never experienced such dark moods in my life.

Oh good, a period thread!

I've been wondering about this stuff as well. I too seem to have not only worse periods (more painful, longer) since I've gone gluten free, but they are absolutely all over the place! I was never completely on time, but I'll completely skip one every two months or so now and I wonder if it's gluten. It also seems that the longer I'm off gluten, the worse they get. And the PMS mood wise is exactly like you said Jo.R- dark dark moods. I got it yesterday (23 days late, fabulous) and when I got home I was actually surprised that I got through the day at work without punching someone. Is there a correlation, or is this all in my head?

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
