I show signs of hypothyroidism and Celiac. My mother and sister have both been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. We all go to the same doctor and my TSH levels are high according to the new ranges but he will not diagnose me. I need to find a new doctor that knows more about hypothyroidism and celiac. Can anyone recommend a doctor in the Cincinnati, OH area?

what was your TSH?? and why are these doctors being so difficult???

i hope u find a good doctor in cinncinatti

another thing to consider- you (in addition to testing for celiac & hypo)- get a test for Hashimoto's antibodies

AND- suggest your mom & sis test or look into gluten intolerance- it's all so related

My TSH was 3.6 and I am trying to get my sister to get tested for Celiac. She has been on thyroid medicine for almost two years and her symptoms are not getting any better.

Once I have the money I plan to get tested for Celiac, Hypothyroidism and Hashimotos.

Try to find a lab that will let you self order tests, my naturopath sent me to a lab like that, and the Thyroid antibodies test was only $40. My TSH was 8, normal is .4 to 4 but my MD wouldn't test the antibodies or a celiac panel even though I have had chronic diarrhea, stomach aches, rashes, and exhaustion for 2 years . My naturopath also ordered the panel for celiac, those all came back positive and the thyroid antibodies were over 600. Within 3 months of a gluten free diet (and no synthroid! ) my TSH is down to 3.9 and I haven't retested the antibodies, but I'm sure they're lower as well, plus most of my celiac symptoms are gone.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
