Prepare to want to die if you get glutened during PMS or period. That is the worst!

And since we're on the subject of being glutened while on your period, I have a question. Does anyone NOT get their period until they are 100% 24/7 gluten free? I was always on the Pill, got my period like clockwork. I went off the pill and now I don't ever get my period. Again, it's been 62 days since my last period. Is this common? (Side note: I am not pregnant; I got tested at the Dr.)

I don't know much about not getting your periodbecause of celiac, but I used to get the worst nausea when I hadn't figured out my celiac yet, because of all the diarhea cramps. I sometimes still get it when I have period cramps, the cramping of your uterus can affect your intestines, causing nausea from the riling up of everything, is my understanding. For me, it usually goes away when I take Imodium. Sickchick, do you also have maybe diarhea with your period?

Have you lost a lot of weight prediognosis and after going gluten-free? That may be causing your trouble.

No I actually normally don't get diahrrea with my period. And when I do get it I can eat like 6 Immodium and it's like I didn't take anything at all... nothing I take stops my diahrrea. It's awful.

I am still not gluten-free at this point too b/c I haven't been tested, that is scheduled very soon.

Jewi00008 it could take a while for your body to adjust and readjust after being on the pill. Good luck you must be very frustrated!

Thanks everyone for your replies :) lovelove

i used to get severe nausea and D just on the first day of my period. i would wake up and literally not be able to move or eat anything for hours. at the time i was under a lot of stress and thought that it could be related to that so i quit my job (in addition to other reasons why). after that it got a little better. then four years later i was dx'ed with celiac and now i find that i get continual mild nausea after i ovulate for a few days but nothing near as horrible as what i had before. oh i don't miss those days AT ALL!

      Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?

      By Capt Jules · Posted

      I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused calcium to build in my arteries? Now put on a statin to lower cholesterol (began at 180 went to 240 while on Alcagal). thanks

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, excused absences for recovery days without requiring immediate doctor notes, and access to safe snacks or a designated eating area. Some families also request preferential seating near the door for easy exits, extended time on tests if fatigue is an issue, or the ability to keep medication/food in the classroom. As for strict bathroom policies, a 504 plan overrides those rules—your daughter’s medical needs legally take priority. It might help to specify in the plan that she requires ‘as-needed’ bathroom access or the ability to go home without penalty during a reaction. Many students thrive with these supports in place, but clear communication with teachers (and a backup advocate, like a school nurse) is key. Wishing your daughter a smooth transition—you’re already doing great by advocating for her!

      Confusion about my son's results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Ballerinagirl4 · Posted

      Hello,, Our daughter is a new diagnosis and I have requested a 504 plan to help her navigate her condition.  What are some accommodations people have requested and how are your students doing?  For example we have high school professors that do not allow students to use the restroom more than 3 time a semester? What happens if your student has a unsuspected gluten "episode" are they able to leave school to recover with out jumping through hoops like doctors appointments while she recovers AND the absence is excused. Thanks so much
