<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> On the advice of my doctor, I tried taking DHEA and after 3 or 4 days I started having internal bleeding, very similar to what happens to me with aspirins. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing in relation to celiac, or maybe it is unrelated ? (DHEA are adrenal precursor steroids which the body turns into androgens and/or estrogens. This natural substance declines with age. The theory being if you replace it, the person feels better. ) I doubt that the DHEA is the culprit, but maybe the binders for the pills ? It is the 25mg Schiff brand that says no "wheat or milk". Wayne Duncan
