Thyroid

I was wondering after going gluten free, does it change test results on the thyroid. I originally was put on it about 20 years ago for a goiter. I'm wondering now if I was absorbing it before going gluten free. I guess I'll find out from my next blood test which is due in a few weeks. I had been on estrodiol for 7 years and went off of it cold turkey with few symtoms. I think I was taking it for nothing.

I guess my only comments would be that from what I've read, goiter is caused by an iodine deficiency, and synthroid apparently doesn't work so well. I think there's something called "Armour" (or something like that), which is supposed to be more effective. I'm sure there's much more out there on these subject than I've come across though. Perhaps others will have more info for you.

One thing for sure however, is that all the nutrients in the world won't help unless they are properly absorbed and utilized. For example, I've just found out that the absorption of magnesium is greatly enhanced by vitamin C. Upon trying this, I can tell you it's startlingly increased.

Yes ! Well - at least it did for me. I started on Armour and got to 4 grains before being dx with Celiac a few months later. I started the gluten-free diet. Within months my blood tests showed high Thyroid readings and I had to reduce. I am now on 2 grains of Armour only - and fine ! ( my Dr refuses to use Synthroid - she has Hashimotos Thyroid herself and knows how bad Synthroid is for making HypoThyroid better)

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
