Thyroid Problem

Hi everyone,

I am new to the club, and desperate for answers.

At the moment I am so tired I don't know how I am actually getting through the day.

Here is my question, I would be really glad if someone can help me with this one:

I am sensitive to gluten (enterolab result) and also have Hashimoto disease (underactive thyroid, autoimmune response). I was off thyroid medication (Levoxyl) for the last year and after being gluten free for 2 months I need to be put on Thyroid med. again.

Does anyone know whether Levoxyl is save for a glutenfree diet?

If not, are there any alternatives?

I am also allergic to caffein, corn and dairy.

I Have been taking Levoxyl since before my celiac was dx and have not had any problems or known of any problems with gluten but I am not sure if there is anything else in it that you mentioned. You may try calling your pharmacy and ask them to research Levoxyl for you. Just tell them what your intolerences are. Sorry, wish I could be more help. Good luck though.

I no longer have a throid due to cancer (no big deal, very curable). I take synthroid once a day and have no issues. I remember looking up the medication shortly after my celiac dx, it was gluten-free.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      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?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      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.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
