Symptoms And Monthly Cycle

Any women here find that their symptoms seemed to fluctuate w your monthly cycle? When I was first tracking symptoms it seemed that I'd get the worst of them one week prior to ovulation and one week prior to my period with consistency. Although in the past 5 months symptoms are more regular than that. Just wondering if it is coincidence.

My pms was horrible before I went gluten free. My husband couldn't stand me. I would always have some mood swings, but it morphed into demon woman. Since gluten free I'm way better. I tend to get really irritable if I get glutened now.

Thats when my symptoms come back and get worse. I feel bad for about 1 week before and 1 week after :/ im glad its over now. Id hate to find out what its like being pregnant with this disease

I think that celiac/gluten intolerance causes nutrient malabsorption and low magnesium levels, right? Women also have a natural drop in magnesium levels right before their period. So when those two are combined it would probably make PMS worse. (Low magnesium levels can cause irritabliity, cramps, headaches, PMS like symptoms.)

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon
