    According to what i've read TPO is present in both graves and hashimoto's so having positive TPO does not automatically indicate hashi's. TPO levels tend to be higher is Hashi's though. It's all wonderfully confusing isn't it? A thyroid ultrasound or biopsy I believe can clarify what is going on in your thyroid. Graves has one type of tissue damage and...

    CassP Here is a description I found on the T3 uptake test T3 Resin Uptake or Thyroid Uptake. (T3RU) This is a test that confuses doctors, nurses, and patients. First, this is not a thyroid test, but a test on the proteins that carry thyroid around in your blood stream. Not only that, a high test number may indicate a low level of the protein! The method...

    T3 uptake and free thyroxine index are pretty uaelss as I understand them. They are essentially mathematical equations based on total T4 that attempt to estimate free T4 and free T3. Better to just test FT4 and FT3 than try to guess them.

    Thank you for the information. Gives me even more to think about

    I posted recently about and got some advice but my situation has changed. I have been gluten free for a little over 2 months trying to resolve reflux/bloating/gas issues. I am not sure if gluten is an issue as I still have symptoms. Some have improved, but not gone away entirely. I also have hashimoto's and have read a great deal about the possible connection...

    Hello. I've been mostly lurking here for a few months. A couple of mints ago my internist suggested I try eliminating dairy and gluten to see if it helps my stomach issue (bloating, gas, medication resistant reflux). She mentioned that testing for gluten intolerance had I high rate of false negatives so she encouraged me to just give it a try. I've been...

    Wondering If those of you who react to dairy have simlar symptoms as you have to gluten or if the reaction is different. I'm on a gluten and dairy free trial trying to solve some issues I've had - mainly reflux and bloating and also thyroiditis (likely hashimotos). I'm having a hard time sorting through reactions and what causes what. Thanks

    Not sure about a connection ti celiac, but I believe thyroid issues can. Might want to have a thyroid blood panel done if you haven't recently

    I'm not positive for both, just hashi's. Just wanted to sharebwhat I've read from some other ladies on a thyroid forum I read. It seems (and again just relaying others experience) in the case it's typical to lean one way or the other meaning if your hypo the hashi's is dominant and if your hyper (not from meds but naturally hyper) the graves is dominant....

    I have come accross a number of people who have been diagnosed with both hashi's and graves. You can have antibodies for both conditions and i have read about people who have had confirmed biopsies/ultrasounds showing both types of tissue damage. Seems one or the other is usually dominant but they can switch off meaning you will have active grave's for a...
