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.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
