Do many celiac disease sufferers feel great sensation to cold and get chilled easily?

I have to wear a sweater when most everyone is comfortable with short sleeve. I'd would get sick if I don't wear extra clothing. Docters cannot find thyroid problem.

I know I did. I would even have a sweater in summer and lots of blankets on the bed. This did stop after I had been gluten-free a while.

Being cold all the time is a symptom of thyroid malfunction, and people with celiac disease are more at risk for thyroid problems.

My coldness went away after I went gluten free and my thyroid function improved.

I do get the chills big time! Both after meals & at night. I actually warm my side of the bed with a heating pad, because otherwise I lie there & shiver--sometimes my teeth chatter!-- while my husband is perfectly comfortable. My thyroid tests normal but I have a hunch there might be a sub-clinical deficiency, because I have some other symptoms too. But it may also be related to anemia, which I definitely have had for years.

After nearly 3 months gluten-free, I'm just beginning to feel some improvement, so be patient!

Oh Yes!! This didn't get better until i was gluten free for at least one month. Hang in there!!

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
