Achy Testicals Associated With Celiac Disease?

[noflour]

Anyone out there at one time suffer from sensitive/achy testicles that turned out to be a complication caused by Celiac disease? Looking for answers.....THX!

Yep, I did prior to diagnoses. When they ran some hormone checks they found I had no testosterone left and 2 other hormones that I forget.

Two injections and a patch for a month helped but after they figured out celiac ( took 6 months), I was back to normal in no time.

Might be a good idea to get your hormone levels checked. good luck

Ken,

Thanks for the insight! So your testicles did not return to normal until you adopted a strict gluten free diet? Also, have you been able to eat dairy products since developing Celiac? I don't believe I'm lactose intolerant, just seems many people on this site have more than just Celiac issues? Thanks for your time!

Right, I didnt have any trouble after the hormone injections and going totally gluten free. The injections came about 2 months before diagnoses and in themselves helped a lot and I have no more testicular pain. I still have some problems, but was tested for lactose and a variety of other things which dont seem to be a problem. I eat way more cheese than I should as it does not cause me trouble.

Did have some trouble today from breathing flour etc at our friends Christmas party. I didnt eat a thing but being in proximity to breading things at my friends must have set it off so I came home and left my wife to have a good time.

The lst time I got glutened it was from cross contamination.

I think it just takes time to sort things out. I used to eat a lot of salads which are gluten free but cant do it without getting cramping. I'm told this is due to virtually no vili left in the small intestine.

good luck
