I really recommend you go on AIP to heal your gut first, and then reintroduce foods one by one...

I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!
-
Thanks! This makes a lot of sense.
-
Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would...

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you get complete relief soon. Thank you so much for your help. You have helped me a lot.

Thank you so much.

Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
-
Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last...

Thank you @knitty kitty! Do you take these supplements only after gluten exposure or all the time? If it is the latter, then why do you need to do so since there shouldn't be an autoimmune response going on?

For me, it's the insomnia which I cannot tolerate.

I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average. Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination...

Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
-
Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive...

AIP really worked for me as well.

Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Zuma888 replied to Zuma888's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you for your response. You are right, this is not worth the damage to my thyroid since I know gluten is bad for me anyway. I stopped the challenge and did the IgA and tTG-IGA tests and am waiting for results, although I know it is likely they will be false negative anyway. I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they... -
Hello, These are my genetic test results: Test Result DQA1: DQA1*02 DQA1: DQA1*03 DQB1: DQB1*0302 DQB1: ...

Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis about 3 years ago. At that time I quit gluten and it really helped my symptoms. I hadn't known that I should've tested for celiac before doing so. Up till recently, gluten would cause my symptoms to flare up, although I never noticed anything with cross contamination, so I wasn't strict about...
-
You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!
-
Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?
-
Hey there, You mentioned that current guidelines recommend to eat the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread for several weeks. Is it ok to do less for a longer period of time, for example 2 slices for 6 weeks? Also, does this recommendation apply to blood tests as well as the biopsy, or do they each have different timelines? Thanks in advance...
