Hyperceliac Blog

Welcome to the forum, Hyperceliac!

First, I'm not sure you realize this but you created a blog rather than posting in the open forum where your post would get more exposure. I would suggest creating a post rather than a blog. The forum is topically organized into sections so find one that is appropriate. You should be able to copy and paste from your blog into your post.

Some more information would be helpful if you decide to post. Have you officially been diagnosed with celiac disease and with hyperthyroidism?

Do you know what is causing the hyperthyroidism? Have you been checked for tumors that cause the thyroid to become enlarged and increase hormone output? Sometimes surgery or radiation is required to address this issue such that the size of the gland is reduced. Also, are you taking medication to manage the hyperthyroidism? I'm not sure what the implications are of that for the baby of a nursing mom. Neither am I sure about the effect of excessive thyroid hormone in your blood stream on the baby your are nursing. Does it get into the milk? So you might want to look into all of this, both for the sake of your health and your baby's health.

Can we ask what country you are in? It doesn't sound like you are getting optimum medical care.

Welcome to the forum! 

Thyroid conditions are also related to untreated celiac disease, and when this is the case can sometimes go away on a gluten-free diet. This category has many research summaries on the topic:

As for issues waking up and getting enough sleep with a newborn, you’re probably going to be tired and not get good sleep for a few years...at least that’s how I remember it. Perhaps search for a better alarm clock? Also, our doctor told us not to worry and create a strict feeding schedule, and to let the baby wake us up when it’s hungry. My daughter could come close to sleeping all night, but my son woke us up every 2 hours when he was a newborn.

"I would love any and all advice, because my own research hasn't helped me and I don't know anyone in my circle of friends or fellow parents who have Celiac-Hyperthyroidism, so while their everyday advice for being a new parent is wonderful, they don't have to deal with the extra struggle of being a mom with two autoimmune conditions, and I am at a loss on what to do."
 

HyperCeliac Seeking Advice,

The Hyper thyroid problems and Fatigue can be be from Low Thiamine levels....

Taking Magnesium Citrate and Benfotiamine with meals can help your fatigue issues.

Here is two great studies that shows how being low in Thiamine can trigger Hyper Thyroidism and lead to Chronic Fatigue issues.

Entitled "Thiamine and Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a report of three cases" and a thiamine deficiency as a cause of chronic fatigue in Thyroid patients....

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24351023/

And this one entitled "Thyrotoxicosis Associated Wernicke’s Encephalopathy"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2173917/

This is a great thread on Thiamine deficiency....

Or just search for Knitty Kitty and many threads about  how a Thiamine deficiency can affect a Celiac.. .....especially if fatigue is your main complaint.....will come up.

Or do the same for Magnesium and also several good threads about magnesium will come up...

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.
