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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Yaya · Posted

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.

      By Keith Hatfield · Posted

      Many years ago yes, after eating and going to bed, apparently my esophagus filled with food that my body rejected, the esophagus would lay against the Heart sack (pericardium?) and the heart would respond by becoming arrhythmic. That went away with the strict diet.
