So I saw my primary doc. He referred me to a G.I and a gyno because I have probs in both those ares since going gluten-free. Now my gyno ran some hormone tests on me and referred me to another place to get a transvaginal ultrasound to see why I lost my "friend" and am in discomfort/ horrible mood swings, and constipation.

My G.I appt. is before the ultrasound. I am not diagnosed celiac and I really at this point dont want to go back to eating gluten to find out...I'm REALLLY hoping the G.I doc is understanding of me b/c I still have digestive problems, just nothing like before!!.... I get the sensation to go to the bathroom, but it wont come out!!! it feels like there is something blocking it, even when I take a laxative.....and get to the point of D. I feel it right there, but it gets stuck at one point...... SO I'm wondering if all my problems are linked from reproductive problems (maybe something like endometrieosis growth???) or just strictly digestive.

This all started since going gluten-free. I would rather have the problems I have now than what I had before. lol. BUT STILL, I'm just going crazy trying to figure out whats going on.

Anyone else experience something like this??

it isnt helping that my family is still obbessing over the fact that I wont be able to eat all the same foods at holidays and gatherings....I keep reassring them I can make a gluten-free alternative to everything and anything, but they say "yah, its just not the same" GRRRR!!!!! I wonder sometimes if I am dealing with this better than them. They support me in the fact that I found what m problem is, but they arent supportive of the change...so this makes me feel like they arent really supportive AT ALL!!!!! I started crying trying to explain this to my mom, so I'm hoping she mmust realize I'm not joking around, but she didnt react emotionally to me crying, which makes me just want to move far FAR away from family and just start a new life, which is exactly what I have in mind for after college......

rant over n' out!! :lol:

WOW my 21 year old cousin thought she had celiac, she was vomitting and having incredible pain, and she was finally diagnosed (during trip to E.R.) endometriosis!

My heart goes out to you. Hope you get it resolved promptly!!! :)

thanks!!! Yeah, my mom is thinking that my reproductive problems have been causing all my digestive problems this whole time....either way, I'm still avoiding gluten given the amazing changes I've seen! the positive definitly outwieghs the negatives.

I am in you EXACT boat. I have not had my "friend" since April. Since April I haven't consumed gluten, except for the few "messups." I am also in your same boat with the C. I went gluten-free and THEN had all the Celiac tests, which, were negative - no surprise. I had an endo and a colonoscopy. The dr did find a form a colitis - proctitis. This means that when I have a "flare up," I won't be able to get anything through me...not even a laxative, until the bottom of me is softened. So when I make mistakes I get severely backed up and have to do enemas. Have you had a colonoscopy?

My biggest frustration, though, is still that it's been since April with no friend! I'm getting married soon and am getting concerned about children....

Agree with them! It's NOT the same! The same was "eat the same food and get the same sick." Now it's better because it's eat different food and, tah-dah! DON'T get sick! The food and the sick are a package deal and you choose Package #2 which is different food and don't get sick. Remind them that you're a big girl now and you get to choose what you eat. B)

OMG!! my mom mentioned colitis! well I'm glad I'm not going insane.

I havent had a colonoscopy or anything. I havent actualy been to the G.I. yet, or ever. I havent had my P since May, and like you I am more concerned about that than the digestive problems. I'v lost my period for being too thin when I was 16, but I wiegh 140 now and am 5'6.....I was 115 when I lost it last time! I'm mostly muscle mass, but I DEFINITLY have healthy fat on me...

thanks so much for responing :)

Please keep me updated as to what you find out! I would say that mine is either from the digestive stuff OR because I'm 25 years old, 5'5" and I went from about 125 lb to 117lb? Do you think? I started dieting in April. I'm so confused!!!! I wish it would just come...

My "friend" went from 29 day cycle to 34 since gluten free. Weird. I dont understand how it messes with the hormones. Im at a loss.

I hope they get to the bottom of your issues soon. No pun intended.

I will definitly post back on hear after my appt.

it sounds like your problem is from wight loss, but probablyl that with a combination of other things.

Do you have any pms symptoms? When I lost my period @ 115 pounds I didnt have any pms symptoms what-so-ever. Right now I've been having constant pms symptoms since april, but no period since may! Most of my body wieght is muscle mass, but I can gain up to 10 ibs in water just in 2-3 days- so frustrating!!! and uncomfortable. BUt nobody ever takes me seriosly because I look thin, like 120, but I am really 140.... I know I have a good balance between fat and muscle, but I dont feel in balance, one day I'll be 135, the next 145!! so i am completely lost....it has to be gluten related....

I think it might be because wheat products have phytoestrogens ( they can mimic estrogen in the female reproductive system) so taking that out may throw the hormones off in some people.....but dont qoute me on that, I've only looked into the phytoestrogen thing a little bit becaue i have tried taking fennel in the past ( before going gluten-free) for my gas problem- (HA, the things I've tried........)

Hmmm.....your starting to make me re-think my early menopause theory. I never realized it before, but I went gluten-free in March, haven't had my friend since April or May <_<

It still could be the menopause thing, but this is something to consider.........I have also lost 23 lbs, but it's weight I needed to lose.

I cant take birth control. Thats what I did last time to start my periods back up. I gained 20 IBS on the pill. retained water so bad it hurt to touch my skin and my muscles would cramp up with charlie horses. I enede up in the ER with a hemoglobin of 8 and then had to go on iron, which made me sick also- blah! My gyno I have now said she wont put me on the pill since there are heart problems in my immediate family and conidering my reaction...

My GYNO wants me to go back on the pill for regularity. BUT...I'm getting married in November and we may want to have kids then. So then he said ok then not?! If I don't watch what I eat, I too, will gain like 5 in a day. Mostly bloat. My tummy gets severly distended. That's when my GI will have me do enemas and drink an entire bottle of Mag Citrate to make EVERYTHING get through me. UGH!

I also have many oral problems.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
