The Impact of Celiac Disease on the Menstrual Cycle
A connection between celiac disease and other menstrual issues
In addition to skipping periods, other studies showed more effects on the menstrual cycle. The participants have reported having infrequent and light periods, which can sometimes point toward infertility. These issues can include:
- Very light periods that are sporadic or even late
- Very light periods that happen to fall into a consistent schedule
- Spotting instead of, or in between, periods
- Painful and/or heavy periods
