I am 44 years old diagnosed  with celiac in March 2015. I am hypothyroid also for which I am taking medicine. I am also taking all my vitamins and calcium supplements.before going gluten free I had stomach issues and occasional body aches but since I am on gluten free diet I am suffering from so many problems and low energy level has made me feel miserable. The more I move around do some regular chores I completely collapse. With low energy l Have joint pains too and whenever I do a little more physical work i have low grade fever . Please help I was fine before I went gluten free but now I feel horrible. I have left my job. Because of this my relationships are suffering.

I would recommend going back to your doctor and get retested for celiac disease to confirm that you are diet compliant.   When was the last time your thyroid was checked?  Your prescription might need adjusting.   Fever is not one of the 300 symptoms of celiac disease so it may be something else.   Again, I think a doctor visit is in order.

Doctors have really disappointed me . They have no knowledge of celiac and they don't even bother to even listen to you. My thyroid Was .68 so the doctor decreased my dose so it went up to 19.6 and Then again I went back to my original dose of 100 mcg of thyroxin. I understand the lethargy can be related with it but even a slight physical activity Leads to low grade fever which is very strange. The whole day I spent sitting on a couch . Sometimes I feel so embarrassed and no one understands the condition I am going through. I feel I am just charged like two bars of a mobile and the more I do some work the battery is discharged. Miserable.......

Is your brand of thyroid replacement really gluten free?  Confirm with the manufacturer and check their website or insert packet for the ingrediant list as formulations change.  

Seriously, you could have mono on top of everything.  Just had a member who was diagnosed with it last month.  There is a blod test to check.  

Here is a dumb idea, but I thought my kid was running a low fever.  Turns out her digital thermometer was not calibrated right.  The old-fashioned Mercury thermometer was correct.  Had to buy a new digital.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      Are you asking if it is typical to only have the ttg-iga be high and the other tests being within normal range? Is so, the answer is it is very common. What other tests were included in the celiac panel? Can you list all tests and include not only the scores but the reference ranges? Different labs use different reference ranges so it is difficult to say...

      Levels on my celiac panel were within normal range except ttg iga which was tagged as high (646 mg/dl). Is that typical?

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them. However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten...

Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.
