Another Question From Newbie

Hi all,

First, I just want to thank everyone for all you're help and advice. It is nice to have a support system to help, especially since this is only week 2 of being gluten free.

My question is, since celiac causes malabsorbtion in the intestine until things have a chance to heal, is birth control affected? I wonder if it is being absorbed. I have an appointment with my ob/gyn tomorrow and figure he won't know much about celiac, so I want to have as many facts as possible. Sorry for being graphic, but the reason I am on birth control is because I am having huge issues with spotting and the birth control has not helped at all. :(

Again, thanks in advance for your advice and answers! :rolleyes:

Warm regards,

runner girl

Hi runner girl,

People have posted some quotes from MDs saying that BCP are absorbed in the stomach so Celiac shouldn't affect that. And others have posted that they got pregnant while taking bcp and having undiagnosed Celiac.

Probably the real answer has something to do with your natural hormone levels and how much of the pill you need to absorb to control them.

If you think it might be lack of absorption you could try a patch. Or you might need to explore other things like fibroids or something.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
