OK I just got my TSH rechecked and it was 65.50 last month in was 5.50. I have had a bad month ( accudently getting into stuff I shouldnt) Could that have affected it? I was told because of celiac my body wasnt absorbing the synthroid like it should, so my thyroid was getting all werid. I went on the gluten-free diet and it was getting better. This is so frusterating

Gluten accidents definately affect absorption of thyroid meds. The whole time I was undiagnosed I had very Hypo symptoms no matter how much I increased meds. I had bad malabsorption (lost 25 lbs.). As soon as I went gluten-free I had to lower my dose... for the first time ever it felt like the meds were working. After about a month I actually went Hyper and had to lower the dose again. My endocrinologist said as my intestines heal...I'll be absorbing more and more of the meds....finally.

Firegirl, I am sorry you are having problems with your thyroid. I have been on meds for Hypo thyroid since 1999. I was dx with Celiac in 2003 after having prblems for over a year and losing 40lbs in 2 months and my dose has not changed at all and all my levels are right on target.

Do you see an Endocronologist, if not I would suggest seeing one, if you do I would definately bring this up to him/her. Good luck :)

      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/
