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.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
