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.

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

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
