3 months ago, i started the gluten free journey,under my Dr.s care. i have suffered from hot flashes also for about a year( pretty intense ones) 5 weeks ago started on low dose birth control, to help with the hot flashes. it is working well, i can't even complain about the 5 lbs. i gained, since i lost 12 during my really sick/gluten time. however, i am constipated, from the hormones, so I'm wondering might the hot flashes be less sever, now that I'm eating the proper diet,i would love to go off them. i have not tried to take any over the counter fiber, since going gluten free, I'm not sure if any of them are safe. thanks so much, for any feedback

May I ask how old you are? Are you menopausal? Gluten free never made any difference in my hot flashes and I am the queen of severe flashing! :P However, I went through menopause 1 year before diagnosis and am at the age for flashes so gluten free most likely would have zero effect on them....it's all absence of hormones which controls that.

I was put into an early menapause by celiac complete with awful hot flashes, for me the diet resulted in a great lessening of them. Everyone is different so I can't say whether the diet will or will not help yours.

I think it was on the news just recently that women that are blessed with hot flashes have much Less chance (50% or something close) of having breast cancer.

Before I was diagnosed at age 42, I had awful, awful hot flashes. My doc wanted to put me on estrogen. I read the warning labels and decided against it. Then I found out I have Celiac, went gluten free and never had another hot flash. I don't think I am menopausal, but was having the flashes because of gluten. Now I am 44 and still nice and cool. So, I supposed it is reasonable to think it could happen, if you're not full on into menopause. I've read that lots of Celiac women go into early menopause if they still eat gluten. Couldn't hurt to try, right?

I began EARLY-menopause at age 35 and it lasted for ten years +. Hot flashes were the last symptoms to develop and last to leave. (but I still throw the covers off in the middle of the night, at 56).

I was diagnosed at 50.

Early in my 50's, any dairy or wine sulfates would result in wild hot flashes, to the point where I had to leave the room, if able. It went away. :)

Whenever I've been glutened, the most prominant sign is hot flashes and profuse sweating at night. I'm in my early 30s so its definitely not menopausal hot flashes! I also recently had to stop taking birth control because I realized it was causing constipation.

REALLY!?!?! You mean there is some good news in regards to my daily incinerating flashes? :lol:

Red wine also causes me to flash bad but I'll be damned if I am going to give that up. I have already given up everything else!

I saw that article and with good news always comes some bad. Daily hot flashes seem to decrease the chance of breast cancer but increase the chance of heart problems. :(

Red wine and chocolate do that to me too. I gave up the wine but I'll be darned if I will give up my chocolate.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
