Maybe I shouldnt be worried about this since he could be wrong, but i went to my family doc this mornin because i swore i had a sore throat (it feels raw and hard to swallow, etc). He tells me no its not my throat, that my thyroids are swollen :blink: . So he gave me some dumb prescription for rinsing mouth or whatever, and wants me to go for bloodwork. Should i be concerned??

Are you sure he didn't mean tonsils?

...but get your bloods done anyway I think :)

Hope your throat feels better soon :)

Yes it can cause a swollen feeling, but I don't know about pain. If you get the tests get the whole panel including the thyroid peroxidase anitbodies.

What in the world is that??? All i know is he checked off TSH.

TSH is only one of the thyroid panel tests, and unfortunately is the one that many docs often use to make the treatment decision.

If your thyroid is swollen, I'd make sure you really have a sharp doc good in this area. Perhaps an endocrinologist?

Even if i did find one of those docs, it would take MONTHS to get in

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
