I can't speak for everyone of course but I would never, ever do one of these. I do on occasion, or did before I was diabetic, an juice fast about once a month with a very hot bath at the end of the fast. The next day I would make sure to eat plenty of fresh veggies and fruits and yogurt. There are also specific foods that you can consume that will help to cleanse the body of toxins.

Some folks use these cleanses all the time, BUT there are others who have had very serious problems that have developed from their use.

If you do decide to do one be very careful to read the ingredient list even if it says gluten-free on the box. Some companies consider things like wheat grass and barley grass to be safe. They are not.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you!

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      Welcome to the forum, @CeliacMom79! Not sure what you mean when you say you are pleased that his ttg levels are now at "detectable levels"? Earlier in your narrative you said they were originally above 250. Was 250 the upper limit of the scale that was used, such that you actually don't know how high they were originally, i.e. "off the charts"?  Were his other liver test functions (ALT, AST) originally elevated?
