    After reading through some of the threads here, I've noticed that apparently before a biopsy you need to have been eating lots of gluten. Is that true for blood tests too? I wasn't even aware of what had gluten in it or didn't prior to the test, plus I was tested for glucose/insulin at the same time so had to fast for 12 hours prior to testing. Would this...

    Thanks for the reply. After reading your signature, I know what I have to do... give this thing a shot! Amazing how this can effect us. I'm stunned!

    Thanks Kathi Yes I've heard many times of the connection between thyroid and gluten intolerance... it seems thyroid goes in hand with lots of things!! My concern at the moment is weather or not my doctor really believes that 'I' have gluten intolerance, or if he believes 'EVERYONE' does! I would absolutely love it if I found the answer to all my...

I am Hypothyroid (thyroid was removed 3 years ago) and so I really wanted someone to sort me out!! I have been feeling extremely unbalanced for...
