Are there any other females with a very similar diagnosis as mine?

I take two thyroid medications, adrenal support, natural progesterone and of course, a gluten-sensitive and dairy sensitive diet.

I am shocked that I even get through a single day. But to meet me you probably would never know that I live with this small hellish diagnosis.

It's the management of it that sucks and not letting the negative side of all of our personalities get the best of me.

To attempt to end this post on a more happy note, here are a few tips for you!

Do what you love and eat right! Support your body with exercise and supplements. Acidophilus, pure coconut oil, colostrum, E.F.A's, and pure aloe juice!

Hi Tammy, I also have hypothyroidism and on replacement therapy since 1999. Then diagnosed with Celiac in September 2003. ;)

I too have pity parties and wonder why me? But then I think it could be a lot worse, at least I can get out of bed, and I can walk, talk, hear and see! I have not been diagnosed with a terminal disease, so I am VERY thankful for that! :D

Stay well and take care.... :)

Tammy,

I, too, follow a gluten-free/CF diet. I am taking natural thyroid supplementation recommended by my naturopath, and I would be taking adrenal support as well except I haven't yet gotten around to verifying its gluten-free status. I have found, though, that the gluten-free diet by itself has worked wonders for my adrenal exhaustion. I am beginning to suspect that I have developed a problem with low progesterone levels SINCE going wheat-free/gluten-free (sort of like getting more sensitive to gluten), but I have decided not to worry about that at this moment. If it is gluten-related, I expect it will solve itself with further time on the gluten-free diet.

My grieving period when I realized that celiac disease was my basic problem was remarkably brief, and I am forever grateful that the "cure" is entirely within my grasp! I have improved SO much on the gluten-free diet that I would never give it up, and I find myself becoming able to cope with its convoluted logistics much better as time goes on. Some of that is familiarity, but at least as much stems from my newfound sense of mental/emotional stability and PEACE with my place in the world, brought about by the gluten-free diet. I wish the same benefit to you and everyone else who must deal with a lifetime of celiac disease. Good luck!

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time
