Trying To Concieve/irregular/celiac Disease Clomid?

Hi Ladies,

My husband and I are trying to conceive, but I have been very irregular my entire life (and also have a few cysts). As a result, my doctor put me on Clomid, a medicine that's meant to induce ovulation, I'm just wondering if any of you have had similar symptoms with celiac disease?

I've been gluten free for awhile but still am irregular, they say it's borderline polycystic ovarian syndrome, but I don't have the hormonal imbalances or any other symptoms than missed periods.

Is it possible that the celiac disease is causing the irregular periods, even though I'm on a gluten-free diet?

Also, have any of you taken clomid successfully?

One more question :), which prenatal do you recommend to someone with a lot of food sensitivities/sensitive stomach?

PCOS is insulin resistance and not everyone has the symptoms typically associated with it. Ask your doctor about Metformin. It's an old diabetes drug and it's used to treat PCOS. Treating the PCOS will regulate periods and ovulation.

For Prenatals - I like Open Original Shared Link.

Best of luck!

Thanks! Unfortunately, the doctor doesn't think I have insulin resistance because I'm quite thin :/...but I have a feeling if the clomid alone doesn't work, he will prescribe it.

Me too. I have none of the outward symptoms of PCOS but my ovaries look like a minefield.

Good luck in TTC. I also have very irregular periods, but I haven't yet discussed it with my new doctor. I use Country Life Maxi Pre-Natal vitamins. They are batch tested to be gluten free and they don't contain wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, preservatives, or artificial color. You have to take 2 tablets 3 times a day, but they don't hurt my stomach.

Even after 4 years of a gluten free life I was still not ovulating or getting my period. So when my husband and I wanted to conceive Clomid was the first step. Two months of Clomid and Ovidrel injections and I am six weeks pregnant with our first! So good luck and enjoy the process.

I am what they call a "super sensitive celiac" with allergies to dairy, corn and soy in addition to gluten and the only prenatal thus far that does not make me sick is : Raindow Light PreNatal One (it is basically allergen free) I buy it at Whole Foods.

Hope this helps.

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
