Progesterone

[Babygirl6915]

I just read this little blurb on the DFWceliac.org site but there was no story to go along with it...

Did you know that most Celiacs have a hormone imbalance that plays havoc with your body that must be treated to restore your health and well being? This usually includes an inadequate amount of Progesterone which must be supplemented with Natural Progesterone which is not synthetic and matches exactly the chemical formulation of the body

Jessica, what I read in that statement you quoted is not that low progesterone causes celiac disease, but rather, that people with celiac disease, as a result of celiac disease messing with your body's functions, can cause low progesterone.

And yes, 32 is pretty borderline normal, and supplementing might be an excellent idea for you.

Whoa, that's *really* interesting....I am struggling with a very irritating hormonal imbalance right now, and it started maybe a year after the GI issues started. It's still giving me grief, and I *do* notice that it's much worse if I get glutened. It's Progesterone, and I'm supposed to start on a medication for it soon (haven't made it to the pharmacy yet, though...oops). I will have to look into this! I was just thinking I was really unlucky having both thing mysteriously appear at around the same time....

Oops! You are totally right! Thanks! I guess I will have to look into supplements in any case... My want to "do laundry" has been much improved since going gluten-free but I still notice days where I am feeling lazy in that department or feeling especially pouty & irritable again.

I do not read this forum very often; sorry it took so long to post this. If you read Dr. Vliet
