Been struggling with slightly elevated prolactin, 19 ug/L at last test.
I've had E2 and T both high and low but doesn't affect my PRL. Pituitary is fine too.
I have started to suspect I may have issues with gluten, so I googled gluten and PRL and get this
"wheat product > opioid-like molecules are formed from gluten in the intestinal tract called exorphins > exorphins are taken up by the gut > exorphins bind opioid receptors > prolactin release is stimulated."
I'll be getting a blood screen for celiac next week, I'll also get my hormones and PRL done.
Two days prior to the test I intend to up my gluten intake significantly, really interested to see if there will be any effect on PRL.
