Irregular menstrual cycle after beginning gluten free diet?

A little over 2 months ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease, and began a gluten free diet. Since then my cycle has been really irregular usually it is maybe one day off but the last one was a week late and my most recent is two weeks and counting...? Did this happen to anyone else when they started their new diet?

Well, the gluten free diet should not impact your cycle in theory.   However, your body is still damaged from celiac disease which is known to be systemic.  Even though you went gluten free, your body was still attacking your body.   It can take time to heal.  Time to reduce antibodies.  Time to stop the autoimmune attack.  Time to really master the gluten-free diet.  Right now, your body is going through some big changes.  Hormones can get whacked out.  I would suggest continuing a very clean gluten-free diet and give it time (six months).  Then get retested to see how your antibodies are doing (hopefully in a downward trend).

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies. Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial. I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements...

      Gluten Ataxia

      There doesn't seem to be much information about the effects of Gluten Ataxia in this forum. I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease but never had typical gluten symptoms. My symptoms were all ataxic.

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      The Millennium class ships (we went on the Summit) do have constrains due to their size. I still like them better then the edge class ships (my wife and I enjoy small crowds ) even though I only have 3 different cakes to choose from at any given time at cafe al Bacio or the buffet. When ordering from the main dining room if you want a special dessert you...

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      Agree, and on this cruise I did the worst case scenario. I did not meet with any dining room staff. Out of 7 nights I only had to request 1 night to see if they could make a cuban themed seafood plate for me. They did! It was awesome! I cannot emphasize enough how much Celebrity beats Royal Caribbean on quality and options for not only Gluten Free options...

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      I went on celebrity millennium at Christmas 2022. You saying more cake variety is now offered at once? After the cruise I did make suggestions for gluten free in a survey. Sounds like they implemented my ideas... keep giving feedback to cruises to see results.

When ordering from the main dining room if you want a special dessert you will need to order the night before. We will be sailing in the spring on the Constellation. I will let everyone know when completed.

I cannot emphasize enough how much Celebrity beats Royal Caribbean on quality and options for not only Gluten Free options but all food choices!  Best prime rib, steak diane, steak and lobster, and spaghetti bolognese, just a few! WOW!  Also ate one night at the buffet. I took a small spoon size portion of most hot items to try. It took me two trip using the largest plate I could find. Doing this I still was not able to sample all the options. I also did not take my enzymes before each meal and did not get sick! It was a true  vacation! Go Celebrity!
