Did you know that a gluten intolerance could affect your hormone levels? Many women are suffering from symptoms that they don't know are affiliated with gluten and are easily treatable with a gluten-free diet.
Symptoms can include PMS, infertility, miscarriages, cramping, migraines, heavy bleeding, and irregular periods. Dr. Vikki Peterson of of HealthNOW Medical Center says that, "When the adrenals are fatigued, as they often are when one is gluten intolerant, they can't function fully and optimally. Invariably, the functions that relate to basic survival are the priority and the production or regulation of the sex hormones suffers."
