I was just wondering -- for those of you who were diagnosed with premature menopause (or experienced signs of it) before going gluten free, did you return to normal periods after or seem to "recover"? I have used bio-identical hormones for several years because of it, have stopped, and am hopeful now that I am gluten free. Am I hoping for too much???

Thanks!

Hi I have a nine year old son but since his birth my periods never normalised and now are non existant I am 43 yrs old.My diagnosis was premature ovarian failur at age 36.5 My mother has been diagnosed celiac late in life( aged 60 but abdo pain for years) but so far my blood tests have been negative.I think I should insist on a endoscopy and biopsy- I think I may be celiac- maybe triggered post partum? I too take bio identical hormones. Has your situation changed since going gluten free- any return of menstrual cycle? I am not gluten free at the moment. Good luck I hope things are working for you as several women have mentioned a strict change in diet has helped. I wasnt ready to let go of my period- still arent, and I would dearly love another child- my friend is pregnant at 43 with her first ( not IVF)

Hi- I am new to the board. My mother has been diagnosed recently with celiac disease( aged 67), my doctor did a blood test for me and as it was negative he said it was not necessary to do and endoscopy. I have one child when I was 34 and since I was 36 my FSH has been elevated with perimenopausal symptoms -hot flushes etc,irregular menstruation. Does anyone with celiacs experience these symptoms ? Or is this celiac related. I would really, really appreciate any feedback. I do not live in the US. Thanks!
