I dont know if anyone else has had trouble with birth control but my body just cannot handle it I keep having reoccuring sist so they put me back on it, now I am so sick from it again and it has only been a week! :( I have heard it takes a while to get in your system sometimes but I am so light headed with hardly any appitite does anyone have any suggestions. The kind I am on is called Yaz and it is suppose to be low dose. Its either I have the sists n deal with them or deal with the sickness of the medicine I cant win for losing!!

hi i can totally sympithize with you, i was on BC pills for years and have endomitriosis, so i would have tons of bleeding and pain which was worse when on the pill. i finally got married and went to over the counter BC, and after i had my youngest one finally had a hysterectomy. i tried every pill on the market and they were all dismal for me, have you thought of an IUD or something like that? i would really talk with your doc about this, GOOD LUCK

I have always had problems with any type of pill...now I'm on the Depo shot and have been ok! You really have to watch you're eating habits though....you will gain weight if you don't. That's the only complaint I have with Depo....one week of the month i'm not hunry at all, the next I eat like a horse and then for the other 2 weeks I eat normal. butthis is the only BC I've found that doesn't bother ma nd cause celiac symptoms!!!! Hope this helps!

I havent tried IUD? what is that? I dont think I have ever heard of it. My doctor did tell me about the shots when we went over my options last time but she seemed to think those make a lot of people sick as well. My lady doctor is sorta sceptical I am not sure I total agree with her judgement though just like me having celiac, she gives me a hard time about being really thin, she asks me questions like dont you ever just give in and eat some pizza (regular). She thinks i am just real devoted to a "diet". Well the pills are makin me lose my appetite and today in church I got real fainty, and in the end have caused me to lose like 3 pounds in a week which I know isnt a lot but it is for me. I am just at a loss right now at what to do.

hi, an iud is an inter uterine device, if you google it youll get more details. im in the same boat, im pretty skinny as well, the lowest ive been is 97lbs in febuary (im only 5ft 4inches) right now im back up to 107lbs again, im a long distance runner so i eat tons! and ive started to lift heavy weights so that i can get some more strength and put some weight on. GOOD LUCK

I don't think the IUD will do anything for the cysts. I'd also do a lot of research before using the depo shot, that is if you want to have kids (more kids?) My SIL used depo and had to go on fertility drugs to get pregnant. It took 3 1/2 years to get pregnant and she had already been off depo for over a year before trying. Her fertility Dr. told her that she was seeing a lot of depo users that were having a hard time getting pregnant after.

Thank you all for your help I am trying to stick it out and maybe if it gets into my system it will help me in the long run, I am also on an antibotic right now too so it could be the combo of those. I know it alters the affects of birth control but I am not using it for that reason. I do plan on having kids some day so the depo shots dont sound like something for me. hopefully the nausea and lightheadness with subside!

If the problem is in your digestive system, I'd suggest Nuva ring. It does not involve the digestive system at all, the hormones are absorbed though your vaginal walls right into your blood stream.

I like it because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day, and If I eat something that dosen't agree, it won't wash the pill out with the food when I get D :(

I love it, I get less symtoms overall than I did with the Pill.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
