    Welcome to the Forum! When you say you are subclinical hypothyroid, are you being treated for it? How big are the lumps on your thyroid? Have you had an ultrasound or an FNA (fine need aspiration). I had a massive multi nodular goiter up until 3 years ago... I now have no thyroid and am still struggling to find my sweet spot of medication. I...

    Thats fantastic news!! Congratulations! I've been Gluten Free for about a month now and the first week my anxiety went absolutely through the roof... must have been some sort of withdrawal I think. Since then howeer I think things have improved (certainly better than that first week anyway!!). I've also started taking Vit B which really helps. I...

    Isnt it great when you have a positive appt with a doctor... finally!! Whereabouts in the world are you??? I'm sure others would like to know where this doc is:) Thankfully I'm also lucky to have a doctor who agrees with the link between thyroid disease, insulin resistance and gluten intolerance. My tests came back negative but he has still given...

    Wow that was some seriously fast replies ... thanks ever so much! Great detective work too, yes I am in Australia... Sydney to be precise and yes Roo is YUM! Nice and healthy too so all the more reason to eat it! The grills for the barbie were actually brand new, bought today so no worries there. Mango... thanks for the heads up regarding the...

    Hi Everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself as a Sydneysider My doctor believes I'm gluten intolerant so I've recently started down this path... still learning big time! Looking forward to learning loads here. Rach xxxx

    I've not been diagnosed as Celiac but my doctor is convinced I'm gluten intolerant... so I'm giving it a go. I've been Gluten free for 10 days. The first week I felt pretty bad... diaorhea (sp?) worse and anxiety also worst. Things calmed down yesterday and I started to feel much better but for the last hour I've been getting little cramps, I'm very windy...

    Great to hear that rebe thanks I'm still struggling today and just desperate to get over this stage! 8 days Gluten free now...

    I know that this is a really old post/thread... but I just wanted to hi-light this again. This has made me feel so much better today. I have been gluten free for a week now and my anxiety has been pretty bad the last 3 days. Reading this was exactly what I needed... thanks for sharing

    I cant help with the weight thing sorry, but just wanted to let you know that I also had Hashimotos (dont have a thyroid anymore!) and have recently been diagnosed with Insulin Resistance and Gluten Intolerance. I've just gone Gluten Free (6 days now) and I seem to have lost weight already. This could well be due to the fact that my Diarohea (sp?) has actually...

    I feel your pain!! I've been gluten free for just 6 days, and today my anxiety was through the roof! My muscles feel weak, I've got brain fog and extremely irritable etc etc etc. I picked my husband up from work and while we were in the shops he said to me 'i think you need to have a lie down dont you?'! I couldnt get my words out properly at all (now...

    How did he get on? Hope things are looking up for him

    From what I've read, one week back on Gluten just isnt enough. You shouldnt have been put on a gluten free diet if a biopsy was scheduled so soon after. This is a snippet from the Open Original Shared Link: Do not commence a gluten free diet prior to being tested for coeliac disease. If a gluten free diet has been adopted, the tests used to diagnose...

    Ah... now you're talking!! Thats something that I could manage... and I actually quite like doing stuff like that. Great tip thanks!!
  16. tygwyn
    I dont doubt for some that that is definitely the best way forward, but for me, who has absolutely no discipline when it comes to cooking, and very little interest too which doesnt help, it would most certainly be a recipe for me to crash and burn very early on in this journey! I have tried for many many years to get myself organised when it comes to meals...

    Wow you're good! Thanks ever so much. I'm guessing its the norm for someone to lose weight when they first start this, because rather than eating the wrong thing... they just dont eat! I was starving yesterday because I didnt have a clue what I could or couldnt eat! Big big learning curve!
  18. tygwyn
    Thanks - thats some really good advice. I messed up a little yesterday because I visited a couple of friends and have a drink with them. I didnt know what to say about having milk in my drink so I just went ahead with it! Am I right in thinking that milk has gluten in it (I told you I didnt have a clue!!). I bought Rice milk yesterday but thats going...

    Thanks Kathi Well when you look at my results, they are actually negative, but my doctor has interpreted them as positive (for GI not Celiac). Thats whats so odd. Oh you're kidding about the meat... thats just crazy! I seriously dont have a clue what I can or cant eat at the moment - I've not long gotten back from the super market and have pretty...

    Thanks again Nora... jeez I've got a lot to learn! I've only just got my head around Thyroid and Adrenals, and now this!! Think my head might explode soon! Appreciate your time
  21. tygwyn
    Thanks Nora... I'll have a look for Dr Ford... I definitely need all the help I can get with this because my first day of gluten-free today and I dont have a clue what I'm doing!! haha Arent the tests I've had done, the ones you've mentioned then?? Gliadin IgA Abs: 6 U/mL (0-20) Gliadin IgG Abs: 5 U/mL (0-20) tTG IgA/IgG: 4 U/mL (0-20)
  22. tygwyn
    Hi Nora The only tests I've had done are the 3 that I've quoted... I'm so new to all this sorry that I dont know what any of those mean? Is the tTG IgA the total?? I didnt have my Vit D & B12 done this time but last time they were done was in the middle of summer (Jan this year.. I'm in Australia) and they were: Vit B12: 308 pmol/L (145-...

    What a great reply.. and you are absolutely spot on with everything you said. Before my results came back my doc said 'you're gluten intolerant and I'll do a test to prove that'... he then said, and becasue of your previous Hashimotos and Gluten Intolerance, you are at risk of Insulin Resistance... spot on! He also said that as the supplements kick in,...
  24. tygwyn
    Thanks rubyred Yes I'm pretty sure my doc just classes everyone as Gluten Intolerant, irrespective of the test results. But, if it fixes me then its all good I guess! I really need to get my head around this though because my eating habbits are pretty shocking! Need to start planning more I guess! Glad to hear the change went well for you!
  25. tygwyn
    Thanks evo You are all right. I have nothing to lose by trying gluten free, so I'm going to give it a shot! Why I feel that I have to justify it by having a diagnosis I have no idea! I think its because I feel people see me as some sort of hypachondriac, but I'm not like that at all... I just want the 'OLD ME' back! I've just been speaking...
