Anyone taking Armour?  Are you having Celiac reactions??  It says its gluten free, on the gluten free drugs, but the articles on it says no.

What’s articles are you referencing?  Armour Thyroid does not contain gluten.   I have taken it for over 20 years and my small intestine has healed.  
 

You could have an intolerance to any of the inactive ingredients.  But it should not be a reaction causing celiac disease to flare.

I used to take Armour, and I was fine.  Then they switched me to Naturethroid, and it was recalled lately.  So they put me back on Armour, and I had a reaction.  I took Armour for 10 years!!  Read an article, and it said it wasn't gluten-free.  But thanks.

What article?  Please cite it (provide a link).  
 

Porcine thyroid products are being recalled lately due to raw material supply issues.  This has pretty much impact all non-synthetic thyroid medications.  Thank you pandemic!   If you are having a celiac disease reaction, report it to the FDA.  It could be that you are reacting to the inactive ingredients that may have changed.

This is a good site to search the ingredients used in drugs:

It looks like Allergan's version is gluten-free:

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well. I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine. Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency. Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy. The more...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine. The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain. Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins. It should tell you what form of thiamine is in...

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream. This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs. The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease. Taking the methylated ...

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      My TTG IgA and IGA are elevated mildly, right at borderline positive,e but my EMA is negative. All my vitamin levels are normal as well as cbc and metabolic panel. What is the likely cause of this? I have been on gluten-free diet for 15 yrs nearly.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once a day. I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's. which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in...

Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to...
