Thank you for that link. I recently was dropped down on my thyroid medication. Have been recently retested and free T3, free T4, and Ultra sensitive TSH levels are all in a normal range. I have Hashimoto's. The problem is I'm getting more tired by the day and my hands and feet are so cold even my husband asked how I was still alive. Back to the doc's office.

Good site Fiddle Faddle!

Wow, I have ven more respect for my daughter's endocrinologist now! She relies on hpw my duaghter feels, is doing etc rather than just the blood tests. The Dr sat down with me when my daughter was diagnosed at the age of 4 (TSH was sky high at 965). She explained that people with thyroid problems have ranges of normal that they function best at - so even if the readings were in midrange normal after treatment began but there was still fatigue - then the dose would be increased. Actually much of what we were told is similar to what is on the site you listed!

Also that when people with normal functioning thyroids get sick - the body automatically produces more hormone. Someone with hypothyroidism cannot do that , so often viral illnesses hit them harder.

I notice that when my daughter gets a bad cold, she is more prone to skin boils ( skin problems happen with low thyroid levels).

I am so glad I found this site cause we have so many immune mediated problems - this is the one site where I can get info /vent / find info about others with multiple problems.

Thanks so much for this link! Now I wish I still lived in West Palm...

I was on meds for Hypothyroid for 6 months in 1990 and then my GP retired. My next doctor [and every one since then] have insisted on testing for TSH and T4 only and since they were/are normal - no meds!

I have only felt really great [and lost weight] for about 5 months in the past 20 years - and I was on thyroid meds. Think that matters to the doctors - NO!!

Looking for a new doctor that will listen to my symptoms and not just the test results.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
