I had ovarian cysts constantly before my diagnosis, and often they would burst, causing unbelievable pain that required high doses of narcotic painkiller from the doctor. My doctor prescribed hormonal contraceptive because you cannot develop a cyst if you are not ovulating. I've been on the ring for 4 years to prevent ovarian cysts, but when I get married in March, I'm planning starting natural family planning. I'm not sure if the cysts will return or not--this will be an experiment. Where is this info that you've found on celiacs and ovarian cysts? I'd really like to take a look at it. Thanks.

I have had cysts since I was 17 & thus have also been on the pill sice I was 17. When I decided to go gluten-free I also quit my pill. At 24 I relized I had no idea what post puberty life was like without the pill. I have had some cyst reoccurances but I feel much better overall. Maybe one day i will go back on the pill to help with the cysts (i dont need it for BC, boyf had chemo & radiation so no potential babies for me!) but for right now I am enjoying the lack of overwhemling hormones!

I had problems w/ cysts as soon as I went off the pill. I'm not sure if it's celiac related or not. I have been trying to get pregnant for the past two years w/ no luck. Hopefully, it's just me and others have had better luck :(

I had Polycystic Ovarian Disease (which I assume is the same thing) after coming off of birth control at 24. It caused very high male hormones to run rampant through my system and stopped my period for several months. I was sent to an endocrinologist's who tried something new he'd heard about from other doctors. He put me on a Diabetic med that had a side effect of reducing the male hormones. It worked for me, my period started back up, and I got pregnant. I've not had any problems since the birth of my first child and I've since then had a second child. It's been 9 years since I went through that.

HI, ive had cysts since my teens. would send me to the ER when they burst. the pill was a disaster for me only made the bleeding worse. i was better off the pill and so we have 4 kids but once that was done (having kids) i had my hysterectomy which i think is what made the celiac kick in but still worth it, if you have a tough time get in to the gyne guy and get checked :P

Hi, I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity & ovarian cyst May 2007. Never been on the pill so I'd also be very interested to know if there is a link to gluten.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?
