I just spent some time in the ER due to a ruptured cyst. I was curious about two things. First, are celiac disease and ovarian cysts at all related to each other? Secondly, if I can't have gluten, is the birth control pill safe to have? Any answers would be much appreciated! You can email at im_a_christ_lover@yahoo.com.

Hi Laura,

I'm not sure if ovarian cysts and celiac are related, but you can have BC pills as long as they are gluten free. I am on Portia, and as far as I know, Yaz is also gluten free.

Hope thats helps!

I'm not sure if they're related either. My cousin thought she had celiac disease about a year ago...ended up BEING an ovarian cyst (18 1/2 lbs...one of the largest recorded!!). It was scary. But she and her mom both have a wheat allergy (that gives them a skin rash...my thoughts are still on celiac, but I suppose I'm biased).

ovary cysts are common. They come and go. I had one and then after awhile it went away. I was told this was common too.

My sister has one now that is big though-softballsize. They are trying to shrink it with BC pills.

If you find out anything please post. My sister would never get tested for celiac, not unless she was dying. She loves her beer, bread, etc too much.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
