What does Gluten have to do with your Hormones?
WHAT IT IS ππΌ
Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and spelt just to name a few. it can also be found in some processed foods, spice mixes, and sauces as well as beauty products and supplements. it is a good binder meaning it is what helps these things hold their shape well.
IN OUR BODIES ππΌ
humans donβt have the enzymes to break down gluten, so the immune system sees it as an invader and attacks. healthy immune and digestive systems can brush off this internal battle with no side effects – but this can cause inflammation in those with compromised immune or digestive systems.
THE UGLY TRUTH ππΌ
I hate to break it to you, but due to the chemicals, plastics, sugars, overuse of antibiotics, poor gut health, HBC, and stressors in our world and in our bodies – there is a chance that the average personβs immune or digestive systems arenβt functioning at 100%.
WHAT IT DOES TO FEMALE HORMONES ππΌ
if you have a reaction to this interaction going on between your immune system and gluten, inflammation in your body can increase, putting your adrenals under duress. inflammation/ fatigue triggers your adrenals to make more cortisol, which decreases your progesterone, and allows your estrogen to run crazy. its like a crazy cycle.
INCREASED ESTROGEN CAN LOOK LIKE ππΌ
heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, mood swings, fibroids, endometriosis, painful breasts, depression, infertility
