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.

well personally, for me, its pretty much the opposite.

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.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
