This is common in celiac disease because of the malabsorption problems, and it is essential for proper thyroid function. If these patients above went gluten free without taking extra selenium this hypothesis would fit well. 
Google selenium/celiac/thyroid to find the study.  I am gluten sensitive and have antibodies to my thyroid, a sub-clinical auto immune problem - which I only discovered by having a private test, most people in the UK would never find out they had it unless their TSH was outside the wide parameters set here.<br/><br/>

I take thyroid meds, and I avoid all gluten in foods and non-food products. My niece was recently diagnosed with celiac and hypothyroid disease, too.<br/><br/>

1) The amount of trace gluten unwittingly entering the newly diagnosed patients? (i.e through consuming packaged products containing <20ppm of gluten, personal care products containing gluten, or airborne gluten inhaled into the oral passages and onto the digestive system from gluten-containing environments or pets, etc.)

2) Co-factors also affecting their autoimmune systems? (i.e. mercury fillings)

3) The affect of iodide being counteracted through salt which may contain small amounts of gluten anti-caking agents (as opposed to receiving it through SSKI potassium iodide).

4) The year and location of the study, and whether radiation from Fukushima nuclear power plant leakage may have any affect?<br/><br/>

After six years on a gluten-free diet and still suffering from malabsorption problems, I read about an Array 4 test for gluten mimickers.  After taking the test it ends up I when I eat tapioca, it has the same effect on me as wheat, barley, rye and oats.  Eight months after removing tapioca from my already gluten-free diet, I am no longer suffering from the side effects of celiac disease.<br/><br/>

I would prefer natural personally.<br/><br/>

I have been misdiagnosed with every non curable syndrome you can think of.... Low FODMAP AND GLUTEN FREE has saved my life...literally... 

Those Aussies are light years ahead of the US in terms of understanding GUT health.    I have read, and researched this without the help of ANY doctors... they refuse to even discuss food intolerances as it relates to my symptoms... they just want to hand out symptom treating drugs ( That will ALWAYS make me sicker )  or operate on me... 

I HAVE HAD 'E-NuFF of that!  LOW FODMAP Food is where it's AT!  -  Sincerely, Lori Muir, Birmingham, Alabama<br/><br/>
