I have not been having my period in a few months and I am certain I am not pregnant. I will be seeing a doctor for this in August, but I was wondering if in the meanwhile there is anything I should be doing to help my period along. I am about 80% adhering to the BTD. When I eat at home which is about 80% of the time I eat almost all benies with a few neutrals and no avoids. About once, sometimes twice a week I eat out and I almost always have trouble adhering. I usually end up getting something that has tomatoes or cream or cheese, but I never eat pork, beef, or any meet that is an avoid. Occasionally, I do eat a fish that is an avoid.

Any advice on this issue?

How long have you been on BTD and how old are you?

Im 25 and Ive been on it for 6 months. I had been on it a while ago but slowly fell off and have been compliant again for 6 months.

how is the stress level going in your life?

do you practice calming cortisol lowering exercises for As, on a regular basis?

I havent been doing yoga as much as I was before. In fact Ive been down to once a week. Additionally, I have been studying for the bar exam so that has probably contributed to my stress lately. I should probably make a habit of doing more stress-reducing activities. Thanks!

Along with doing yoga you would probably benefit from picking up some Cortiguard from NAP to help you with your stress levels.

Debra

Thanks. I have been putting it off, but I think this is a strong indicator that it's time for it

I would also suggest that you get your secretor status checked. There are 26 foods that change rating from a secretor to a non-secretor, so it may be that you are not actually following the diet as closely as you might have thought.

A few more more questions, have you recently gained or lost a lot of weight? Are you jetlagged? Have you suddenly changed work hours (working overnight shift) all of these things will send the period packing.

do you exercise or run alot? being very athletic can mess up your periods as well.  

I would go to the doctor to get it checked out. It could be some underlying medical condition that you don't want to ignore.
