After finding out you were celiac disease/GI and moved to a gluten-free diet, were you able to come off your thyroid meds? I ask because I've been on thyroid meds for a year and half (truly convinced that I was hypoT). I'd like to see myself come off these meds if I truly don't need them because I was hypoT due do celiac disease/GI.

I haven't gotten off my meds because I don't think I will ever be able to, but I have noticed my numbers getting better since gluten-free. Hope that helps.

I don't expect to be able to come off, but am still tracking the numbers to see if I'll need an adjustment. Right now the doctor thinks my dose is still exactly right.

I was dx with hashimoto's at least ten years befroe going on the gluten free diet. The endo has decreased my dose of synthroid since I started on the gluten free diet.

This is interesting because I have Graves Disease. We don't know yet if my GI symptoms were aspects of Graves. I was negative on my Celiac blood tests. But I DID get a rash taht doc thought was DH (which is how celiac was brought up) and I start having recurrence of symptoms when I eat gluten. I just dont have severe GI symptoms now that Graves is under control.

So far my thyroid levels have stayed pretty much the same. I can't remember how many months between the blood test and going gluten free. So we will see if they change with the next blood test.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
