Progesterone

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! :blink: You are totally right! Thanks! :lol: 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

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
