Hey guys I know that this topic was discussed a few pages back but I feel awful and want to know why!!! Ive been taking thyroid medication(50mcg) for about a month and a half now and just started taking magnesium like 3 days ago. I probably took the magnesium around 2-3 hours after the thyroid medication. I didnt take the magnesium today but yesterday and today I have felt really depressed and cant figure out why. I was starting to feel normalish a few weeks ago and havent been this depressed since I started the gluten free diet!! Any suggestions??

I am also on thyroid meds and take magnesium and do fine. Maybe it depends on the thyroid med? I do get feelings of depression when I have come in contact with glutens.

Thanks for your response AVR! I cant think of why it would have happened but I guess maybe it was gluten. Ive been pretty depressed for 2 days and still not feeling well. How long do your symptoms usually last when coming in contact with gluten?

My digestive issues will hit about 24 hours after getting gluten in my system. The stomach stuff doesn't last more than a day and I think this is why I had such a hard time figuring out what was wrong. What last for me is the dizziness and loss of memory. Those are my worst symptoms and I could be dizzy for 10 days or 3 weeks, depending.

I take a generic form of thyroid replacement hormone early morning (around 5:30) and a Calcium + Magnesium supplement with dinner. I've never had any problems with depression from them. Gluten, on the other hand.... So, I think AVR's glutening hypothesis is a good one. Or it may be that you need more thyroid hormone replacement (if that's your med)--hypothyroidism can cause depression-like symptoms. If you only started it a month ago, you may not be on the correct dose yet. Worth checking out if it doesn't get better. Hope you feel better soon!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
