Digestive Gut Issues

Hi,

haven't been here in a while, hopefully I can get some feedback.

Diagnosed with Hashi's in 1999, celiac in 2004, IBS in the 60's.

Am currently on 75mg of Armour after trying to do a compounded T-4 due to high (+1000) antibodies which doc thought Armour might be contributing. Long story short, back on Armour 4-5 months ago and began a trial of LDN to try and get the antibodies down and to also help with the celiac portion.

Recently developed reflux, noisy,gurgling stomach, loose bowels, sometimes diarrhea (strict celiac and vegatarian) back aches, and general feeling not all that good, sometimes difficulty swallowing (one reason we increased the Armour, was only doing 45mg daily, with 48mcg of compounded T-4).

I take a really good probiotic, L-Glutamine every day, D-3 (metagenics), get a B-12 shot 2x a month, selenium, folic acid and eat organic.

Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions that maybe I haven't done, tried. I am at my wit's end.

Bloodwork okay, just went for UA on thursday and when they did the dipstick there were mild traces of blood, they're sending out to lab.

Thanks for any feedback.

Marty

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
