Sex Drive

What does an accidental glutening do to your sex drive? Other than the obvious symptoms of feeling sick and tired for 2-3 days, my sex drive is greatly increased.

Just curious if anyone else noticed a correlation. I have done some reading and it seems that testosterone and histamine are often elevated during the autoimmune reaction when a celiac eats gluten...these also drive sex drive.

I am male and understand that autoimmune diseases affect more females so maybe it is not a common symptom...

For me...

Fatigue + constipation + pain + not enough hormones = NO interest in sex :ph34r:

Things are better since I've changed my diet, but it took a while.

I figured that might be the case for at least the women...elevated histamine is a reaction to allergies, autoimmune disease, etc and they prescribe histamine for women who are menopausal and lack sex drive.

I feel that I react on a systematic basis which is why I feel I have had so many serious symptoms in addition to the typical digestive troubles...not to mention a poor lifestyle filled with lots of stuff that just aggravated the heck everything.

Any guys with similar symptoms? I figure it has to be affecting you in more ways than just D and damage small intestines, but hints that other autoimmune diseases on the horizon, Sjogrens, etc. It is a strange feeling to feel exhausted, sick, depressed, etc but have a juvenile sex drive.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
