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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
