Carol,
Thanks for the info! I guess my case is a strange one. Unless, I had the Hypotyroidism all along and never new it. Oh, well! That's life! Keep me posted, if you find anything interesting!

Hi, my 3 year old was diagnosed with Celiac and Hashimotos a month ago. Her endocrinologist said the two usually go hand in hand. I would think since she went undiagnosed for so long her thyroid was also affected. Since one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism can be constipation, Celiac was not the first consideration when I took her to the doctor(they seem to just look for D and weight loss) I insisted she be referred to the endo or ANY specialist, where she got diagnosed for both. She is now on Levothroid and has become a very active little girl, which I am happy so see vs. lying on the couch with her blankie!

Hi Vicki. We just got back from vacation and I have a LOT of catching up to do. After a good nights sleep that is. If you read my 7 page health history you will see that it points to being born with a low thyroid problem and I'm 55. As my doctor puts it "Which came first? The chicken or the egg?). Since you are born with celiac I would assume that had it been treated from birth maybe I wouldn't have wound up with low thyroid and all the health challanges I've had over the years. Makes sence to me.

Jill,
You can also correct spelling by going to the top of your post and clicking the edit button. I do that a lot.....don't worry about it, though....it takes time to learn all the features on the board... but you did get your signature made...nice. I can't answer the jaw question: I don't know too much about teeth in general or Celiac and teeth/jaws....sorry.

About teeth: my brother has a lot of tooth issues....all the more reason to think he's a Celiac. I don't have serious problems with wearing enamel and my teeth are aligned quite nicely, but I have had multiple cavities....(is that just bad brushing? ) But my brother....he's always had tooth thingys coming up....don't know what specificially, but......blood and biopsy said no Celiac, I think he has it, anyway.......

Jaw pain could mean TMJ and any GOOD chiropractor should be able to adjust it so the pain goes away.
