I was curious to see if anyone knew if your absorbtion of Meds are affected by celiacs. Or would anyone have alink to some useful info about this. I'm on the pill and don't always do really well with my gluten-free diet. Just curious if the pill would be affected.

meds are affected in that if your intestines are not healed you do not absorb them. If you are not strictly gluten-free then you are not healed - whether you have symptoms or not.

You need to do better on your diet :) and be sure that when you are having D that you also use a barrier method to prevent an unwanted pregancy. Better to be safe than sorry as they say. If you are taking the pill for a medical reason other than contraception you should talk to your doctor about this issue.

I'm aware of my diet and what I should and shouldn't be doing Thank you very much.... I wasn't looking for any judgement. Just curious about something was all. I hope the rest of the boards aren't like this.

Kelly, please look at your PMs (personal messages). I do think think that poster was trying to be helpful.

Hi!

Sorry you feel a bit judged, please don't give up on this forum because of it. I am also on the pill and asked my doctor about the exact same question. Apparently, if you are having diarrhea or vomiting it might affect how you absorb the pill. Mainly celiacs effects the way you absorb fats and a lot of vitamins are absorbed through fats and therefor absorption of those vitamins is affected .

Basically unless you have diarrhea or vomiting you should be fine. If you are still worried, ask your doctor about the contraceptive implant (think its called implanon) which is a small implant in your arm it last three years and works the same way as the pill except that t is absorbed directly into your blood stream and is therefor not affected by any stomach symptoms you might have.

Good luck, don't get disheartened :)

Wasn't judging, sorry you took it that way and were offended.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
