    Anyone that has Celiac ( autoimmune ) and has a mother, sister of auntie with thyroid ( could be autoimmmune) needs proper Thyroid testing not just the TSH. You can have a normal TSH but have Thyroid Antibodies and low Thyroid function.My hair & skin never were that dry but I had all the fatigue and could not lose weight. I was dx by a Chinese asthma...

    Have you had your Thyroid tested ? Not just TSH but for Thyroid Antibodies. The reason I ask is that I had Hypoglycemia and struggled with weight and tiredness and then found out I had low Thyroid. All my Drs had not tested my Thyroid Antibodies and just kept telling me it was 'normal'. Now I am onto Armour the weight is dropping off like magic and I don...

    ARCHIVED Iodine

    georgie replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I know a little about Iodine and Thyroid as I am low in Iodine myself and have a multinodular Goitre. The fact that it upsets Celiacs if a bit of a problem. I don't know many answers but know quite a lot that are need to reduce their Armour meds when they started Iodine which suggests it does 'something'. For those that may not know - Armour is worked...

    Do you know what brand of Jaffas are gluten-free. Did you know that American M&Ms are gluten-free ??? Do you know if we can bring them into Australia? I have a friend coming here soon from America. I don't know about the frozen Fruches. I wonder if they come from a different factory that isn't gluten-free safe? Haven't heard from Boost yet.

    :lol: You you imagine the look on Customs face when he looks in the bag !! Don't know if you can bring food into Australia. I have a friend coming over in September and she may try for me. But ....thats still 8 months without M&Ms !!!

    M&Ms In Australia M&Ms have wheat starch

    Are Jaffas OK ???? I had a gluten-free muffin today and it had a Jaffa inside
  10. georgie
    I looked at all 3 varieties - milk, regular and peanut. They all have wheat starch. Perhaps I need to emigrate :lol:
  11. georgie
    NO M&Ms :( I was starting to get excited until I checked the packet. Can you guys send me over food parcels :lol:
  12. georgie
    I have lost the thread I was reading but basically - are M & Ms safe ? In Australia the packet says 'wheat starch'. I thought that wheat starch was NOT OK. ?????? Do USA M&Ms have wheat starch ?

    They have chocolate croissants ! I love chocolate croissants and have been depressed about missing out on my next trip to France. Do you think they would have them anywhere ?

    I have just emailed Boost Fruit Drinks - to see if they are gluten-free.

    I may be travelling next year to Europe. I am so scared .... what to eat... what you can bring - not bring. I have early diabetes so have to eat regularly and not just sweets. I need proper meals eek.

    I think I will wear the Dunce cap for the rest of the day . :lol: Even my undx area of rash that I think may be DH - is itching. Stupidity reigns ! I can't believe that you have to be THAT careful ! I just touched the bread !
  18. georgie
    Its a Catch 22 - isn't it So ... I could still be tested for DH despite being gluten-free for 6 months. The areas that had the rash still itches a bit - but there is no visible sign of it now.

    I made sandwiches yesterday for my brothers, and then didn't wash my hands before eating my rice crackers. Could that have glutened me ? I feel REALLY tired today, and now have stomach pain ( 18 hours and 24 hours later) Was I REALLY stupid

    A friend of mine rang in tears. Her father has dementia since a stroke and now has had a fall and been put into a Nursing Home. He has been Celiac for many years - basically eating correctly with the occasional lapse for which he suffered each time. Now he is in this Nursing Home the staff are giving him cookies as 'one won't matter', and making him sandwiches...

    I have heard its OK. I haven't had it done myself. My saliva test was for adrenals and hormones and that test was the most accurate test I had for ages. I have had a lot of blood tests and they haven't always been that accurate. Find out now that you can have cellular resistance with adrenal fatigue , and that gives artificially high/good serum results ,...

    The book is fairly heavy reading as its a medical text book. My hubbie read it and has told me pieces of info. The team at STTM have made it even easier to understand if you can follow their forums. Basically a healthy adrenal produces 40 - 60 mg of cortisone a day. If you have low adrenal function you need to supplement for a while to rest and heal.The closest...

    Actually, Australians have Vit D deficiency too now - as we are told to stay out of the sun. Low BP can be a sign of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue happens with a lot of problems and also thyroid. The medically accepted way to treat and perhaps cure Adrenal Fatigue is per Dr Jeffries book' Safe Uses of Cortisol'. He has tested his work over many...

    I was dx as Gluten Intolerant last June and went on the gluten-free diet. About this time I also developed a symmetrical rash that was very itchy. It wasn't a big area - just about 2" square. It was there about 4 months, and has now disappered. I am wondering if it was DH and the diet made it better. Would it be too late now to have a biopsy done ? The rash...
