Coeliac and Thyroid?

Folks,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the optimal level of thyroid blood markers for a healthy Thyroid are? I know there's a link between Coeliac and Thyroid issues. I've noticed a downward trend in TSH and T4 over my last few blood tests .. 1.08 and 12 respectively.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I asked the same question a few days ago.  Had a similar test result.  Hoping someone will answer us.  I did not find anything about Celiac and thyroid on the Mayo clinic site and my pharmacist said he did not know and thought a doctor would be a better person to ask.  But getting a doctor's appt these days to ask is becoming very difficult here in the U.S.

I think there is a connection between Coeliac, Thyroid and Histamine Intolerance.  From what I've come across, optimal levels of TSH are between 1.8 and 2.25 ... the reference range on my lab is 0.35 to 4.95.

My lab result last week were 0.11. I have never had a low result before and the big thing that's changed is my diagnosis of Celiac.  I was given a new dosage to take but don't know whether to be alarmed or not. Have never heard of Histzmine intolerance.

We Coeliacs can suffer from nutrient deficiencies relatively easily, years after healing our guts with strict adherence to the gluten free diet. Even more so if we eat more meat than seafood or restrict because of fear of food or past bad experiences.

Maybe engaging with a functional medical practitioner as an adjunct to your regular doctor. Coeliac Disease and Thyroid Disease are closely related, they share the same genes along with T1D. 

I've educated myself on how the thyroid works and all the critical nutrient it needs to function properly. I found a lot of good information from Dr. Westin Childs. Zinc, Selenium, Iodine, Iron and Magnesium are all required for the thyroid to function properly. This lady has Coeliac and Hashimoto's and provides lots of good information https://thrivingautoimmune.com/ . It's not medical advice, but worth educating yourself ... knowledge is power.

Thank you so much, Rogo172

I made an appointment with my GI a couple of days ago. I saw her right after I was first diagnosed by endoscopy last summer and she spent an hour with me. I will be seeing her in late April and will bring her my food diary, which she advised me to keep.  I appreciate the link, since I know very little about the thyroid, given that I have had Hashimoto since I was very young.  I am anxious to know if my thyroid corrects with the new dosage and if low thryoid is contributing to some problems I've been having.  I appreciate your imput, your knowledge and your links. Thank you!

Rogo, I went to the site.  Very helpful.  I will wait to see what a change in dosage does for my symptoms and will try some of the recipes on the site. 

 

Thanks again!

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      Oh, @MagsM, Sorry you had that happen with Niacin. 500mg is the maximum amount of Niacin one should take. Niacin works hand in hand with Thiamine, so a big influx like that can imbalance thiamine if not supplemented at the same time. All the B vitamins work together in concert. Niacin in doses at 500 mg or above have been used by doctors to lower...

Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori?  An infection by H. Pylori can be tested for by your doctor.  H. Pylori can cause low tTg IgA results, too.   I would hold off on the...
