Hypothyroid Again

Just got my lab tests back today and my TSH is 24.00. Hypothyroid again and increasing Levoxyl to 175 mcg, UGH!!!!

Guess that explains my extreme fatigue even with being gluten-free for almost 6 months!

Hopefully once they get the thyroid leveled correctly your fatigue will lift. Feel better soon.

I was dx with Graves disease several years before the celiac and had RAI to kill the thyroid and so now I am Hypothyroid and it has been so hard to keep my levels maintained.

Hi Sis,

Thanks for your earlier response about whether Levoxyl contains gluten.

Just found out from my Doc. that my Thyroid works fine. However, it is enlarged again.

(I' ve got Hashimoto.)

I cannot find out why I am so tired. Also got hit by a bad case of depression, which I usually do not have.

Got off gluten about 2 months ago and did not cheat on my diet since then.

Also, experiencing muscle weakness. Any ideas what else it could be? I am actually feeling worse than when I was on Gluten.

I'm hoping you guys will know the answer to this...I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a couple of months ago, and am taking eltroxin. Can you explain the TSH numbers to me? Normal is between 0.5 and 4 (?)...I'm not even sure if I'm remembering that correctly.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      By trents · Posted

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
