Sexual symptoms?

Hello all, 

First off, this forum and site is really informative, thank you for sharing. The stories here have helped me decide to go gluten free for at least 8 weeks to see if my symptoms could be due to gluten. I also cut out sugar a few days back at advice of my doctor, because sugar can exacerbate anxiety. My main issue has always been severe SEVERE anxiety. But despite therapy it felt like it was getting worse over the years.

For the first time I'm seriously making a list. I have C most of the time (hemmies from pushing too much, yay..) , except during my period, when it's D. Depression and fatigue (adrenal fatigue sounds like it), trouble concentrating, ocular migraines, cold hands and feet (even white painful fingers regularly) and other things that I never considered could be responses to food. My dad and brother have near constant gut issues. Lightbulb! 

I am now searching and I know, I know... it may not be gluten. The again... I have been nearly anxiety free for 2 weeks since cutting out gluten!

But part of me is thinking "nahh that's placebo, the anxiety is going to blindside ya sooner or later..". Another part of me is screaming with joy. I can do things without being tense all the time! It's not great (yet), I still have trouble being present sometimes, but it seems so much better already. :O

Now, I have a question for the girls here... 

I used to have more feeling "down there". But over the years, that went away.. I used to be delightfully sensitive in the clitoris. Vagina.. Meh not so much, never really. And the past few years, I've really had to... Well *force* my way to an orgasm really... I'm pretty sore afterwards and days after sometimes too... 

It just... I hate saying it but it doesn't even feel good anymore. Neither touching nor the orgasm. 

Can anyone relate? Could this be connected?? And if so... Do you think going gluten free can help improve it with time? I'm hopeful but a bit scared and insecure about it too... 

Thank you for reading

Sorry it took so long for someone to reply, and unfortunately I'm not a woman and able to address some of your post here, but if sensitive to it, gluten can cause a huge variety of symptoms, and I would not doubt it if all you've mentioned here could be caused by gluten sensitivity.

How did your gluten-free diet go? Did you continue it, and if so, did it continue to help with your symptoms?

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
