ARCHIVED Twitching, Weird Symptom.
gem75 replied to gem75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
marilyn--- I noticed in your signature you stay away from some soy. I've wondered if i can tolerate fermented soy. It seems soy lechitin is a definite NO-NO. And soy lechtin is in everything. I haven't done a test yet as the end result can be so bad for me. it also seems i can tolerate aged swiss cheese and small amounts of goat and parm cheese. -

gem75 replied to gem75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
yeah, i've heard other people say they can't tolerate benadryl. I've been using benadryl for a long time... so i don't think it's the benadryl, but shoot you never know. interesting about quinona... i'm not eating it, as far as i know, but i never knew it was a potential 'stay away food' so it's not something that i have been seeking out OR not. I don... -

i 100% agree about getting your thyroid tested and all the testa above are spot on... like poster said a lot of dr's will jsut run tsh and tsh don't tell you shiat. For well over a year my incompetent dr was just testing my tsh and telling me i had no thyroid problems. By the time i went to a competent dr i was in the middle of thyroid hell. A lot of... -

It's just weird some nights are worse than others.The last two nights, i get it a bit before i drift off... -

ARCHIVED Hashimoto's
gem75 replied to India's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
and YES your tsh can be normal and you can still be suffering thyroid disease. The antibodies will tell you if you have hashimoto's , which is the autoimmune diseae attached to hypo thyroid:( -
ARCHIVED Hashimoto's
gem75 replied to India's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Actually there is SOMETHING you can do when you have hashi's (besides treating your disease with thyroid meds) you can go gluten-free. gluten-free can stop the autoimmune attack on your thyroid. If you have hashi's you most likely shuld be gluten-free. Also taking supplements can help, iodine has controversy, i take it, and sellenium is know to bring down... -
ARCHIVED Hashimoto's
gem75 replied to India's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
TO check for hashimoto's you specifically need to get antibodies tested. TPO and your thyroid antigloubin (i think the 2nd one is called that). You also should get a full thyroid panel that consists of tsh, t3, ft3, f4, ft3, and the antibodies. Iron and vit D are important too. -

i don't believe i've been glutened but my sinuses are awful right now:( i made homemade salsa last night and i'm worried it's the tomatoes causing this? interesting about the steriod, i have predistone a dr gave me, i never took it though.

I was dianosed hypo thyroid in june and also hashis. My antibodies are 263:( i too was sort of happy once there was a diagnosis out there, prior to that i was just made to feel crazy, I was diagnosed bi polar, depressed, anxiety (anxiety is probably true, although probably caused from going undiagnosed hypo for well over a year). I went gluten free (for... -

gem75 replied to gem75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

ARCHIVED Sinus Flare Up...
gem75 replied to gem75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
interesting. I was to an ENT years ago, but not since going off G. I'll have to look into comobid. Thanks for the heads up. -
it seems when i eat gluten my sinus flare up, i have massive nasal drip and the gross taste in my throat, howeer i have noticed I constantly have sinus problems (nasl drip down throat) even when off gluten, it's just worse when i'm eating it. Is this common, to have horrible sinus , due to gluten? what about when you're off? to still suffer?

I forgot to replenish the prescription a day or two and then just decided to see if...
