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.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
