Hello,

I was diagnose with Hashimoto's about 7 months ago, currently taking 120 mg of Armour.

Two months ago I started a program for weight loss, cardio- and weight training along with a diet, which happen to be "low gluten" I immediately started to feel better, just those days that I happened to eat cream of wheat I would feel under the weather. I would like to get tested for Celiac, but I read that you have to go back to full gluten.I would like to know for how long I should eat gluten for my test to be more accurate.

Thanks.

I was told to eat gluten "normally" for 2 weeks prior to my bloodwork but if you feel better off of it, I think you have diagnosed yourself. I say this from experience being that most doctors will brush you off saying its nothing and the rest don't know anything about it.

One of the reasons of getting tested also is my five kids.

Some do have some symptoms of gluten intolerance, and my oldest has Aspergers which many people claim going on gluten-free diet will help him.

I'm looking forward to eat gluten full time again, if test fails I'm sure I will be back for more questions

Thanks for your help :)

MEANT TO SAY LOOKING FORWARD TO EAT GLUTEN FREE AGAIN, :)

Hi campbell7.

I have heard six or more weeks, probably more would be better, and to eat three to four slices of bread a day.

i understand wanting to have a diagnosis- it took me 2 years, and a closer look at my test, a genetic test, and a case of DH to finally motivate me to go gluten free-

but as someone with Celiac, Graves, AND Hashimoto's- i would like to say- that you should seriously think hard within yourself if you need the diagnosis to go gluten free- (which of course would involve the gluten challenge) because Gluten aggravates those Hashimoto's antibodies...

but then again, i know plenty of people with Hashi who still eat gluten... so i guess it's really up to you

Well I started eating more gluten yesterday and it did not go good at all.

Worst of all was discovering that my daughter who I had my suspicions of intolerance shows all the mental related behaviors (she is almost 7 yrs. old and has many delayed milestones) as the matter of fact, this year seems like she lost the ability of learning new words (I homeschool her).

I'm taking her to the doctor next week for testing.

Thanks for your coments

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
