Millet Or Related Disorder?

Hey everyone...

I've been gluten free for a few years. One of the great things that happened when I first went off wheat/gluten was that I started getting my period (after many years of not getting it since the age of 12). I actually got it within weeks of going gluten free so I knew instanty that there was a connection b/w the amenorrhea and gluten.

After a while the periods stopped again and I wasn't feeling so good. I checked my diet and there was no wheat in it. I was disappointed and thought that maybe I could just have a related disorder.

Then I started thinking that maybe my periods would only come when I barely ate anything and thought that perhaps I have a related disorder like Addison's. It seemed that whenever I barely ate anything my periods would come...

Well recently the periods returned. The only thing I've changed is that I stopped eating millet bread and switched it to a flax bread which is also gluten free. This got me really thinking that maybe I'm also reacting to millet. Anyone think this is possible, or is it all a coincidence? Thoughts?

I have heard that millet plays havoc on the thyroid.

Your millet bread may have been contaminated with gluten. Was it made in a bakery that also makes wheat products?

What was the brand name of the millet bread? Several brands have been shown to have astronomical levels of gluten contamination.

Thanks for replying guys....It's called El Peto bread. I was eating the stuff every single day. Unbelievable. In addition to the return of my periods, my skin also looks much better.

I'm thinking of going on an elimination diet to identify problem foods. Anyone know of any good ones? I'm pretty sure that the Millet bread was the trigger, but there could be other problems. I was seriously thinking that the only way to get my period was via starvation...I'll be really happy if it's just the Millet bread so that I can actually eat rice and other things!

I must be very sensitive to gluten for it to make my period stop....and now add Millet to the list!

Someone at church brought this issue up. If you put millet and thyroid into the same search engine search, you will find all sorts of information regarding what millet can do to the thyroid.

If you're still having problems, a good basic diet is the SCD. There are lots of threads about it on this forum... look in the "leaky gut and related disorders" section. You can also go to this website: www.pecanbread.com or read "Breaking the Vicious Cycle." Basically, the goal of the SCD is to give your digestive system a break so your body can heal. It's a lot healthier than starvation! ;) After a while you can add other foods back in to see how they affect you.

Yes you can have reactions to millet. This is being discussed in the nephrotic syndrome thread.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
