Bleeding

I started a gluten free diet a few days ago and my period ended a week ago. Well, last night I started bleeding a bit heavy and am having mild cramps. I'm wondering if this is something I should go get checked out for or if it's just a side effect of my new diet? I am on a birth control called Estarylla and I am on Hydroxychloroquine for Arthritis and Fluvoxamine for Depression, and Latuda for Schizophrenia. I've been on these medications for a long time so I doubt it has anything to do with that. The only thing I changed in my life was the diet. My periods are always normal so I don't know why I'm bleeding again when my period ended a week prior.

I would suggest you give it time with three cycles (pill packs) and see if it regulates itself. If not, you should talk to your prescriber - if it is a change from gluten-free, it should regulate. And that takes time.
