Hi all,

I have been diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure at 28. I already have 3 children thankfully! But I have been rotating through birth control pills that have gluten in them and it is really taking it's toll on my body and my depression!!!!!

I need help, does anyone with Celiacs currently take Birth Control? If so please share your brand with me so I can tell my OB and get on with my life!!

Thanks,

K

Hi Mom,

If you want a non-pill solution, how about the Mirena? It's an IUD for women who've had kids before. It works really well. Most insurance plans cover it but if they don't it is usually cheaper than 5 years of pills. Plus it's more effective and you don't have to take the pill every day, and no chance of gluten.

FWIW I'm convinced that my 25 years on birthcontrol pills were the root of my depression. I've been off for seven years and those years have been so much different!

Good luck! I hope you find something that works for you.

Mom- I would highly recommend mirena like cyber said. I could not take any form of bc until Mirena had an IUD without hormome. It is great. I would reccomend it to anyone who has children and plan on not having anymore for at least 5 years or at all. Talk to your ob about it. Good luck and I am glad you had your children before your diagnosis.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
