Irregular Period On Gluten-Free Diet

Hi! I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with celiac 3 months ago and have been eating gluten free ever since. Before I started eating gluten-free my periods have always been fairly regular, I did go for a few months when I was 18 without getting it at all. But I had been regular for about a year leading up to my diagnosis. Since I started eating gluten-free my periods have been very strange. I would get cramps and bloating around the time I was due to get it, but then I would be a week or so late. I am not on birth control or any other medication.

I am assuming this is just due to my hormones being screwed up from such a drastic change in my diet, but any insight would be greatly appreciated : )

Your body is probably going through 200 changes right now, so yes it is probably an adjustment phase.

Hang in there, I'm sure things will continue to evolve.

If you start to have issues that worry you, consult your doc.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      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.
