Is There a Link Between Gluten Consumption and Infertility?

I have read studies that a gluten free diet increases testosterone levels.

[Bayard]

I think its something worth investigating because I know so many people who are allergic or unable to eat gluten.

[MuttTheHoople]

No. My wife and I consumed all kinds of glutens in the 1990's, and managed to get four children out of it.

[Jamestown1630]

It seems to me that humans in many parts of the world have thrived and reproduced for centuries, despite eating various gluten-containing cereals as a staple of the diet.

(Of course, during the last century or two, we’ve progressively refined wheat, in particular, getting rid of the essential nutrition in it, and ‘played around with it’ genetically.)

I’d look around for other causes, before blaming gluten itself.

My kids eat white bread 🍞 every day. So what ? More bullcrap guvmint propaganda

[CondoleezzaProtege]

American mass produced and processed gluten* ? Or real fresh baked village bread?

BIG difference.

[Mears]

My kids grew up on Wonder Bread,yuk,but no fertility problems.

I have read studies that a gluten free diet increases testosterone levels.

I wish that was true because then countries like India and China would not have way over Billion people and over crowding. Those people eat lots of gluten.

[Manuel OKelley]

Anecdotally I can say yes, that is absolutely accurate

[the OlLine Rebel]

Oh good God.

Not another bunch of nonsense.

Never mind the sham of gluten-free as some kind of “healthy/diet”.

It’s for people with Celiac Disease, not a health kick.

And if it was such a fertility crisis, why was this not a problem (LOL) until recently?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Something is definitely going on because the past few years I’ve noticed eating bread just wrecks me, and I’m like the Chinese, I can eat anything without so much as blinking, but bread, wheat, just screws up my energy and digestion like you can’t believe and it never use to to that. So either I developed this bizarre sensitivity to wheat or they put something in it.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

How do you know what is gluten free though?

[gcparent]

I don’t have gluten issues, but have some relatives who do. I guess labels on food helps.

[Fungi]

Bingo! Natural Womanhood? Is there an “un-natural womanhood?” If there is, these new age clowns created it. New age maladies are only a problem when someone sees fit to make it so and probably have a dollar to make.

[Blurb2350]

Just think if you hadn’t eaten all that gluten — you’d probably have 22 or 24 kids!

[Bubba_Leroy]

"If you would stop eating gluten you'd feel way f'ing better all day."

[Nifster]

Oh goody. Pass the tin foil

[PIF]

Yep its more snowflake whining

[Tax-chick]

Not for me. Nothing reduced fertility except intensive breastfeeding, extreme underweight, or being 51.
