Treatment of gluten intolerance lies in avoiding gluten containing food substances like wheat, rye, barley. You can have rice and rice products. You should take Iron supplements for your anemia. Your hair loss can be benefitted if you take Zinc supplements. Have a regular diet containing fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables and proteins. You also need regular aerobic exercise and good sleep hygiene. Many of your problems will lessen with some lifestyle changes. Your periods may be delayed because of stress. Notheless you must see an OBGYN if your periods are still delayed and rule out pregnancy and other causes of delayed menses. Yoga for stress management is also excellent.
