When I first was diagnosed a celiac my thyroid was off the charts the endo doctor figured out what was going on and that got better because I was able to absorbe the synthroid. Well now my thyroid is off the charts again , I havent been getting into anything that I am not suppost to. Could another type of food be causing this? or I am totally grasping here?

I'm not sure of your age but I know my thyroid ( as a doctor explained to me) was slowly dying off, then after about 10 months it kicked in & started to work again. Which my doc says can happen but not often! So I went off medication for a long while then got VERY Ill & the docs didn't tend to my thyroid for a long period of time. At this point or lack of missing the popint by the docs, my thyroid turned on my heart & put me into A Fib plus a lot more. I was never so weak or ill in all my life..... To make a very long story short I had to have my thyroid ablated with radioactive iodine. Against my strongest NO but I ended up with no choice. If I hadn't I would be gone today.

I think the thyroid regulates pretty much of all body functions so don't rule out that this is not your thyroid.

Today, I'm better than I was a year in a half ago but I'm still a long way from feeling better. I take synthroid now . I still get very tired & weak , lost a ton of hair, had some weigh gain & get in down moods at times. This doc will only give synthroid , he hates armour.... & cytomel.... which helped me more than anything else to date......

By off the charts do you mean high? Low? If you were taking synthroid I am guessing it is low.

You might have your heavy metals tested, maybe something else is interfering.
