Hi Sorry Not Been Here For A While Need Your Help

Hello guys hope your all okay...its mand..xx

Okay, now I am still not counting out celiac as I have strange rashes or patches of dry itchy skin in little clusters which looks like herpes on my body in different places , chest, back, leg..looks like exma but more like herpes - does taht sound like DH to you??

The secnd thing is -wheni do the diet I have a whole other load of stuff that happens which teh doctors think is my hormones..

So my belly feels a bit better with the candida and celiac diet but then I get:

Big puffy face (moon Face)

Weight Gain

Constant weeing after every glass of water

Heat intolerances - my wholebody sweats if only a bit warm

Palms of hands keep shriveling up likebeenin a pool for hours and tthen the skin goes very tight and flakes -this happens at teh same time as the weeing...(Possibly to do with Aldorsterone or DI)

Bad fatigue during the day

Night time anxiety - insomnia, waking up to wee all the time

Excersise intolerance

Dr hair

Dry skin

Muscle tne very poor

change in fat distribution in my body

What I wanted to ask was is any one a celiac and hypothyroid? If so, does teh celiac diet cure the thyroid? is teh thyroid just a spin off from celiac???

I am having allmy hormones tested next week and I want to make sure I am doing things right. If I am on celiac diet will my thyroid or hormone problem show if Iam doing the celiac diet??

I know if iam doing the diet Ihave thyroid symptoms or hormone symptoms...I think this is why I dont ever feel better. They have said possibly hypopituitry..so I just dont knwo what to think anymore..

But if this rash is DH - Iamgoing tuesday to docs and Iam going to insist have it biopsied to confirm if Ihave DH!!!

Thanks guys..I am just confused as wheni saw neurologist the first time I had no reflexes and I was off the diet, but next time I did and I was on the diet!!!so, maybe the diet effects me neurologically..

Sorry hope your all okay missed you loads..Ive been on hormone sites trying to work out what else is happening, also Iam helping people on a thyroid site at teh moment with Diet and excersise as I was a trainer before all this. It helps keep my mind focused on something else....so been quite busy inbetween being ill..

xxxxxxxxxxMand

Welcome back!

Yes, Thyroid can be related to Celiac. The diet helps some, but not everyone with their thyroid.

You need:

TSH

Free T3

Free T4

And all of the thyroid antibodies

You should also have them check your adrenal gland function

Hope you feel better soon.

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
