14Month Update! Repeat Biopsy Results

Diagnosed 14 months ago Marsh 3b, scalloped duodenum, hiatus hernia.

Subsequent intolerances to MANY foods.

Severe anaemia, low vit d, major hairloss, severe adrenal fatigue, melasma, night sweats, neuropathy, depression, etc!

Repeat biopsy shows 'essentially NORMAL '

Not sure what they mean by essentially but normal sounds good to me.

I came back on to share this, for those of you out there that worry, fret, get anxious, cry, wonder when it's going to get better... It does happen. I was/am one of those that did all that worrying. I still have a way to go in regaining my former self. If indeed I ever will!! But... Healing DOES happen, it's happening for me on a diet that's severely restricted!

Keep at it! :-) x

Aw thanks guys. I'm still not where I need to be, but I just thought sometimes it's nice to hear some success. I know when I was diagnosed I looked for any possible success threads! We are all or have been looking for hope that things get better. I just wanted to share, to show that slowly but surely it can be done. It took a lot of green juices and food restrictions! I'm hoping in another year I might even grow some hair back!! Lol. That'd be nice! X

Congrats!!

 

and yes, just hang in there...I saw more results in symptom resolution (plus more hair regrowth) after 20 months.

 

Best wishes and stay the course.

That's wonderful! Great job sticking to the restricted diet, I know that it isn't easy. I'm vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and mostly sugar free.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
