Not sure if anyone has seen this. It is talking about the TSH test.

I hope it is ok to post this.

also- did u see where Ronaldo (Brazilian soccer legend) just retired... and that one of the issues was that he needed to get on meds. he has Hypothyroidism- and Thyroid hormones violate the anti-doping rules- CAN U BELIEVE THAT???? those hormones are essential- even to avoid a stroke or heart attack.... i could not believe it

Good one! They should make all endocrinologists watch this.

Wow.... this is like someone recorded my visits to my Endo (only without the costumes...) Anyone have any suggestions on how to have this conversation with my Endo or information that I can take with me to get him to listen??? Unfortunately I live in a small town and I already have to drive an hr to see the Endo I have now so getting a new one isn't really an option.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you
