<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi I am going to give a short story, because I am no writer and do not wish to be. Many woman responded to my email. It appears there is an awful lot of women suffering from female type disorders particularly ovarian cyst. Of course there is no concrete study to prove or disprove that ovarian cyst maybe related to this autoimmune disease. However, what I have learn is Celiac disease can interfere with proper absorption of many pertinent vitamins and minerals, and that ovarian cyst seemed to be related to unbalance hormones from a lack of adequate nutrients. It seems the body works are complicated and one condition can certainly be directly or indirectly related to another. Also, food allergens play important part they have been implicated in the cause of unbalanced hormones and they are usually significantly connected with Celiac, but also other conditions of course. I really do not have anymore information to present except for me to say I believe there is a strong connection between the two. If you think about the type of disorder Celiac is then it shouldn't be to hard to realize that malabsorption can effect the body in many ways. For more information on nutrition, vitamins and minerals and the relationship between unbalanced hormones and ovarian cyst please purchase John Lee's books on premenopause and menopause. I believe my many, many years of undiagnosed Celiac has caused me a lot of grief and I believe it is responsible for my many other medical conditions. CC
