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.

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
