Late Period

So I'm newly dx with gluten intolerance within the last year. The last two months my period has been late, but I'm not pregnant. I've seen on the forum others who have gone gluten free and then their periods become irregular. My question is should I do anything to help, like certain vitamins etc? And how long should I let this go before seeing a dr? And I guess what kind of dr should I see, my gastro since related to gluten?

How do you feel about starting birth control just to make your periods regular? This might be TMI (sorry) but my doctor has me taking three months of birth control in a row before I get my cycle to help with my anemia which can get pretty bad. Its worked and I'm not as fatigued and my periods are always regular. I noticed that when I went gluten free, my period symptoms became much worse than before and there definitely was a change. I've seen several threads on here about how our periods can change when we start the gluten free diet, so you're not alone in this....best wishes!!

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered.

      Mallorca sounds like a great travel destination! This article may also be helpful--it contains a gluten-free restaurant card that might be handy when eating out:

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce...

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.

      I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce in your area. Your idea to reach out to your GI and dietitian at NW Medicine is an excellent one, as they often have knowledge of local resources or even virtual networks. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve already secured a connection point with the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Zoom meeting and the podcast—those are fantastic steps toward building your community. Your feeling that celiac can be uniquely isolating is so true, but be sure to know that you are not walking this path alone. This community is here for you, and I sincerely hope that as you continue to reach out, both virtually and through your medical team, you will find more of the personal, local connections you’re seeking. We’re all in this together.
