You guys need to read the following book and/or visit the website: Stop The Thyroid Madness. It will explain ALL of this to you very well!!

I have had Hashimoto's for 15 years. NO DOCTOR ever told me to stop eating gluten because I had an auto-immune disease until just recently!!!

I have been on Synthroid for 15 years and have recently found out that it is the root cause of my problems....I need to switch to natural thyroid (like Armour or Naturthroid) which has some T3.

If you are concerned about Reverse T3, the book I mention will explain it to you and tell you what tests you need and how to interpret them. They also have a very active and helpful Facebook group.

I have read a LOT of thyroid books, and I have to tell you that this one is one of the absolute best, even though it was not written by a doctor. After that one, I would recommend the books by Dr. Shames, Dr. Langer, and Dr. Aram, and Mary Shomon.

I also want to add that Armour was re-formulated in 2009 and some people find that it does not work as well for them. Those people have switched to Naturthroid or a newer generic made by Acella called NP-Thyroid. People on the Stop The Thyroid Madness Facebook group have reported that they do very well in NP-Thyroid -- as well as they used to on the "old" Armour.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread...

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      Some Mod asked me about blood tests. Dr said no need, nowhere to go as I am gluten-free alreay. He threw around terms like: TTG 2P DQH. not sure if it relates to gluten-free but he removed a polyp in 2022 and will recheck in 27. so my conclusion is that I am mostly gluten-free but not strict. Much obliged, Jeff

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

There is healing at the macro level but not all cellular functions may be restored.
