Hey, I know there's a pretty significant tie-in between celiac and autoimmune issues, so I just wanted to post this for my fellow thyroid sufferers.

 

Since going gluten-free, my thyroid antibodies are down from 1936 (you read that correctly...max for the range was 3, yes, the number 3)...to 280!!!

 

I am SO happy and yes, I feel way more awake.

Yeah, seriously, if anything ever screamed "autoimmune" it was that 1936!

 

I was hoppin' for joy when I saw that new lower number. Well, as much as a Hashi's person can hop, anyway, LOL.

 

Moosemalibu, good luck with your testing. I hope you get some answers very soon.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
