SCD and Hormones/PMS

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if any Moms on SCD have ever experienced an effect on

their hormones. My PSM has always included constipation for 2-3 days (when I

was younger I would get severe migranes during this time) and then very loses

stools for the first 2 days of my period. So I know their is some kind of

connection. Well, my period ended Friday, then Saturday and Sunday I was very

constipated with a bad headache and fatigue (I have felt horrible since day 5 on

the diet) and this morning I got my period again with loose stools and heavy

cramping. After a few hours it slowed down to spotting and right now I feel the

best I have since day 5. My cycle has always been very regular. This is

completely out of the ordinary. I used to be on Birth Control pills in part to

help deal with the migranes. They shortened the period of time I would get

migranes and some months I wouldn't get them at all. But I have been off them

for a while. If this continues tommarrow I'll call the dr. but

I just firgure it's got to be connected to my gut health and SCD because it is

soooooo out of the ordinary.

Maybe I should also mention, my skin on my face, chest, back, and upper

arms has always been broken out since I was 11 years old. I've heard this can

be yeast/damaged gut related so that is one reason I am doing the diet with my

son. But I know my skin is also related to my hormones because during both my

pregancies my skin was the clearest it has ever been by far in the past 16

years! Can someone please sort out the relationship between our gut and

hormones, or am I the only one that has experienced some sort of connection?

While I'm on this topic, I have Streptococus-B. A bacteria in my bowel

that *requires* any children I deliever vaginally to go on antibotics for a

short time at birth. Could this be killed by the diet?

Thanks,

, mom to Elijah 3, UC and ASD, and a 20 months. All SCD 2 weeks.
