[purple]

gluten-free symptoms, plz helpI am new to this forum. My 19 year old daughter was diagnosed gluten intolerant 3 months ago. Her symptoms were extreme PMS. I thought she was headed to the hospital for loss of blood. Cramping at 2 diff times during the month, huge blood clots. She was unable to sleep for the pain. She also can't remember things, allergies to animals and dust. Itchy skin and head. The osteopathic doc is giving her injections for her liver thats low in glutathione. Does any one have any of these symptoms? Thanks for posting!

Hi,

The only one of these symptoms that I have had is the extreme periods. I used to have really irregular, heavy, painful periods, so much so that I would throw up or occasionally pass out (I'm guessing from blood loss). I was put on the contraceptive pill at 16 to help regulate them (which worked fairly well by the way).

I have been gluten free for about 3 months and my periods have vastly improved. They are more regular, and I think that I now have about average pain and flow.

Your daughter's pain should improve the longer she stays gluten free, if it does not, you may want to talk to a doctor about other options such as the pill.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Michelle, I've been reading about other members and their symptoms. I thought my daughter had endometriosis. She had all the signs. Others had the same symptoms. I am watching to see, now that she's mostly gluten-free, if her pms calms down. This forum is so helpful and informational. Thanks to all!

My sister has/had them, almost exactly what your daughter is showing. She will do well on a strict gluten free diet. I always recommend the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for people in such a bad state as your daughter. You can google it to find out more.

My sister had such bad menstrual problems, endometriosis and cysts that she was told she would be infertile. She tried for 5 years to conceive and did not have any luck or alleviation of her symptoms until she went strictly gluten-free and health food. The dermatitis on her head got so bad it would bleed and she has had some flare ups related to her pregnancy. She has also always had allergies quite badly. Are you sure your daughter is gluten intolerant and not a Celiac?
