Hyperthyroidism

[mirabella]

Dr, called today to say they wanna retest my blood for thyroid. This past thursday had blood taken and came back over active. Endocrinologist is on my list of doctors to see. I believe I have read that celiac and hyperthyroid are related. Do to malabsorbtion. This is why I cant sleep and get up in the middle of the nite starving. I also posted about my arrythmia. this is also from hyper. Always feeling shaky and irritable. My family is finally going to be free of mom the monster.

Thanks for sharing and listening

Hi Mirabella,

I have a thyroid issue also due to celiac. It can indeed cause problems. In my case I developed nodules on the front of my throat right on the bridge of the thyroid gland. Not big, but there. Sort of like a big Adam's apple. I have problems sleeping now when I get glutened. If you imagine a big butterfly sitting on your Adams's apple and the wings laying down alongside your throat, that is basically the shape of the thyroid. There is a left and right lobe or wing, and a bridge of connecting tissue in front of the throat. Anyway, what I wanted to let you know is that my doctor told me that 90% of the time these nodules are non-cancerous. In my case the doctor did a biopsy with what they call fine needle aspiration. Just stuck a needle in and drew some fluid out for testing. It didn't hurt at all. My surgeon wanted to remove my thyroid but I decided to wait until I had been on the gluten-free diet for a while to see if it helped. I figure getting the thyroid out is 1 time shot so I want to be really sure it is nessecary before doing that. My thyroid nodules haven't gone away but they haven't grown either. If you can stick to the gluten-free diet I think you have a good chance of avoiding major thyroid problems.

My mother had hyperhtyroid and she had symptoms including flushed face, fast heart rate, weakness and short temper. Which was surprising because she was a very mellow person normally.

I don't think the kids will get rid of you so easily!
