Not Meaning To Be To Straight Forward, But......

Hello all,

Along with all the crazy symptoms of celiac disease, does anyone know or maybe experience a low ummmm....how do I say this......sex drive :ph34r: sorry I do not want to get to personable, but I know that celiac disease can be linked to infertility and other female problems so I thought there could possibly be a connection there? Speaking to females here; did anyone notice an improvement in that area of their life once they started a gluten free diet?

Thanks to anyone who responds...

I absolutely noticed a change within a few days of changing my diet! :lol::lol::lol: I enjoy "doing the laundry" much much more now! ;) Glad to know I am not the only one who had this problem!

If it doesn't get better, you may want to have your thyroid levels checked.

Absolutely! I find it very hard to be sexy and wanted when I feel like crap and have the bloating and digestive problems. I also have more energy and that is a big boost!

Now If I could just find more time... for sex... :P

With me it really depends on the how much gluten that I have ingested, before I figured that there was a problem yes I would say it affected me or us quite a bit. But tonight before I went to work NOT A PROBLEM ;):rolleyes:<_<

When I don't get to see my husband when I am working nights like if I have to work 3 night in a row we try to fix our laundry more :lol::lol: can't get enough

Ok TMI ya'll didn't need to know that but you asked

Ok I'll quit writing about it now, HUM!!

I definitely, definitely noticed a change. For a few months prior to trying gluten free, things were kind of simmering down and not much was happening. Worse was that I couldn't even summon enough desire to initiate or do much of anything in that respect. My boyfriend and I have been together for quite a while and I wondered if it was just things "settling down" in that department. I kind of wondered if something was wrong, because I've always had well... an appetite for sex ;) After a couple weeks of gluten free, it completely reversed. My sex drive was back! Yay!!

Course it's not anymore now that I'm back on gluten for all the testing :(

Thanks for the info....I was a little bit worried because I don't have an appetite for sex at all really....I mean the physical feeling of wanting too....when I do I think it is more of a concern for my marriage, wanting to keep him satisfied. But I remember there was a time when I did want to and it has been a while since I have felt that :( ...Its not my Husband, we have only been married for a year and been together for three years and he his just as sexy as ever :P . Hummm, after my blood test I can't wait to go gluten free and hopefully things turn around....but it is good to know I am not alone and there is hope. Thanks

I know exactly what you mean. My boyfriend and I had even started arguing about our dismal sex life before I tried going gluten free. This was wrong, that was wrong, and it all boiled down to my not accepting any of his, well, advances. I felt like there was something wrong with ME and I couldn't understand why I didn't want sex. I was really worried, too. I was actually very surprised when going gluten-free seemed to help, because I never imagined that could be the reason. I suppose when one is exhausted and sick from celiac, sex just takes the back burner for a while. I suppose it's true of any major period of illness. It might take some time (and support from your husband) to get back into the swing of things.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
