Does anyone else have issues around the time of their period? I seem to get very easily "glutened." Like things I'm usually ok with get me really sick. I get migraines and am often laid up in bed with such severe stomach pains (and this never happened before eliminating gluten). I'm usually ok with a small amount of cross contamination but discovering the hard way I pretty much have to be 100% clean this week!

Definitely before going GF. When i tracked symptoms when I was trying to figure out the cause of my issues there was a noticeable uptick in symptoms around ovulation and The start of AF. Once I was 100% GF I find my monthly cycle so much better. Everything from headaches to PMS to acne outbreaks (anything cyclical) all went away.

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.

Mine got worse when I went gluten free! I'm good for most of the month but now I get glutened and migraines pretty much every month during my period and am really sick for a couple of days. What the heck?
