Prepare to want to die if you get glutened during PMS or period. That is the worst!

And since we're on the subject of being glutened while on your period, I have a question. Does anyone NOT get their period until they are 100% 24/7 gluten free? I was always on the Pill, got my period like clockwork. I went off the pill and now I don't ever get my period. Again, it's been 62 days since my last period. Is this common? (Side note: I am not pregnant; I got tested at the Dr.)

I don't know much about not getting your periodbecause of celiac, but I used to get the worst nausea when I hadn't figured out my celiac yet, because of all the diarhea cramps. I sometimes still get it when I have period cramps, the cramping of your uterus can affect your intestines, causing nausea from the riling up of everything, is my understanding. For me, it usually goes away when I take Imodium. Sickchick, do you also have maybe diarhea with your period?

Have you lost a lot of weight prediognosis and after going gluten-free? That may be causing your trouble.

No I actually normally don't get diahrrea with my period. And when I do get it I can eat like 6 Immodium and it's like I didn't take anything at all... nothing I take stops my diahrrea. It's awful.

I am still not gluten-free at this point too b/c I haven't been tested, that is scheduled very soon.

Jewi00008 it could take a while for your body to adjust and readjust after being on the pill. Good luck you must be very frustrated!

Thanks everyone for your replies :) lovelove

i used to get severe nausea and D just on the first day of my period. i would wake up and literally not be able to move or eat anything for hours. at the time i was under a lot of stress and thought that it could be related to that so i quit my job (in addition to other reasons why). after that it got a little better. then four years later i was dx'ed with celiac and now i find that i get continual mild nausea after i ovulate for a few days but nothing near as horrible as what i had before. oh i don't miss those days AT ALL!

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement? 
    • trents
      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
