    Have you gotten your thyroid checked? I have hashimotos and have had lots of trouble getting to sleep. Also your hairloss matches up with thyroid symptoms.

    Does anybody here have hashimotos with "normal" levels(other than positive antibodies) and still have major symptoms. I was diagnosed with hashimotos and went gluten free last may. I thought it had to be celiac disease because my thyroid levels were "normal" and I was having crazy symptoms. I have been gluten free for 8 months and have definately gotten...

    I seem to have the same problem...i have been gluten-free for 8 months and have cut out basically everything ...the past week or so I have noticed being very gassy especially when I lie down...i am almost 100% sure it isn't a food intolerance so maybe it is the gut healing?

    People with hashimotos disease have had positive results on a gluten free diet. I myself have hashimotos disease and being gluten free has helped me a lot. I still have problems and I have been gluten free for 8 months so I am unsure whether I am still recovering or if I need thyroid medication. Either way being gluten free has helped a lot!

    So you do you feel better on the thyroid medication or you are still feeling tired/apathetic/etc? I too had a TSH of 5 one time but the rest have been inbetween 1.9-3 or so. The more I read a think about it I start to think that I may need the thyroid medication. Like I said before I was actually feeling better for the first time on the medication but...

    That sounds close to my numbers skylark. My TSH was 2.2 and my free T4 was in the lower range I believe. When u say you don't feel well what do you mean. Are you still able to do things and enjoy life?
  7. bbdailey
    Your hashimotos sounds similar to mine eatmeat4good. I will more than likely have to take thyroid medication sooner or later but at the moment my ranges are normal. Skylark: When you say you get symptoms being a little hypo do you mean youre levels are out of range...or just low in there range?(ex. TSH at 3 rather than 1) Bumblebee: I havent tryed...

    I do seem to have many symptoms of hypothyroid but they could also just be from celiac as well. I am very tired, I have all the mental symptoms of brain fog/slight depression/poor memory, I usually seem to be cold(although it is winter so it could just be that). I am definately not overweight. I am 5'9 and was 150 before going gluten free and in the past...

    Thats a great point eatmeat4good! Couple of questions: If it is the CC does it make sense that Im not having "glutened" episodes, but rather just feeling lousy overall? Also I need to get new pots and pans but in the meantime is it safe to just bake everything with tin foil? Also do things like plates/bowls/silverware need to be replaced or just for...

    Thanks again for the responses! Skylark: I was prescribed 50mcg of levothyroxine which is a generic I believe. I was prescribed by my endo who said "I doubt this will help your symptoms". All my thyroid tests are in the normal ranges other than having positive APO antibodies. With all the tests being in range it leads me to believe that the thyroid...

    Thanks for the responses! Before I went gluten free I was put on zoloft for a while and it didnt do anything for me. I know that there are a lot of different medications and I just used one but deep down I just feel that it is something else. I have never had depression or anxiety before until the last few years when the symptoms started to show up. ...
  12. bbdailey
    Yes... I have been from doctor to doctor. I was diagnosed with hashimotos with positive APO antibodies but all of my thyroid levels are normal. I took thyroid meds in july/aug and started to feel better, then at the end of august things got very bad again so I stopped the medication. After a month of not getting too much better I decided to take the medication...

    Ive been gluten free for 8 months now and Dairy/Soy free for about 6 months. Cutting out gluten definately helped with a lot of my physical symptoms and also eliminated the harsh mental symptoms(Panic attacks, deep depression) but it seems like I havent really been improving past that. I still have brain fog/slight depression/fatigue and am starting to wonder...

    I've taken thyroid medication twice for about 2 months each time. My levels are all normal other than positive antibodies. The reason I started taking the medication was more so out of desperation rather than need (endo prescribed me but said it probably wouldn't help any of the symptoms). I have been gluten/dairy/soy free for quite a while now and I'm starting...

    Its been a month since stopping the thyroid medication and although I seem to be feeling a bit better its not by much. Does anybody have any idea how long it could take for my body to readjust? Would it be back to normal after a month or could it take longer?

    I have twinlab b12 and have taken them for a while. Im trying to narrow things down that could be stalling my recvovery. On their website they say gluten free but I was wondering if anyone else uses this product? Safe/Not safe?
  17. bbdailey
    I know that the Hashimotos will not go away but I think that its in such an early stage that it isnt causing any symptoms yet. Like I said my ranges are all normal and the antibodies arent that high either so I dont think that the thyroid could be causing all these symptoms. Its so frustrating considering I breifly saw improvement just to have all the symptoms...

    I have had muscle spasms for a while now but now they seem to be primarily right under my sternum. They are happening almost all the time basically everyday. They are very annoying because they are so close to the heart so something about that seems to make it more uncomfortable. I just started taking 200 magnesium starting yesterday. Should the magnesium...

    I used to get palpitations all the time before going gluten free...i was also beginning to become anxious and I remember thinking my great was gonna blow at times...i also had muscle spasms all over...after going gluten-free all of that went away other than the occasional spasm. But recently I have been getting bad muscle spasms just under the heart right...

    I have had my TSH FT3 and FT4 all tested multiple times and they are in the normal range. My TSH is usually around 2. something and I cant remember what the FT3/4 were but they were in range.
  21. bbdailey
    Thanks for your reply red island! My thyroid levels have seemed to stay consistently in range so thats why I have decided to go off them...i kinda started them out of desperation rather than doctors telling me i NEED them...so now that I have basically ruled out the thyroid as a problem I am wondering if the medication set me back in recovery...i stopped...

    Thanks Metoo! I actually went to an endocronologist in late April and hes the one that diagnosed me with hashimotos from just the APO test. He prescribed me 50 mcg levo and said I doubt this will help. I asked why I was having so many stomach issues and he said that I prolly had antibodies there too, but never said anything about celiac or other autoimmune...

    Thanks for your response Reba! I understand that I have been crazy going on in off I was just so desperate. My Doctor has been very good(unlike my previous ones) about listening to my input. Not to say that he lets me do what I want but he was ok with me trying the thyroid medication even though my levels were normal and when I wanted to go off the medication...

    Im sorry to bring my pity party to the forum but I have just hit rock bottom. Ill spare you the details but I have cut ties with my ex-girlfriend who has been such an important person helping me through this period in my life. We broke up back in the summer but I have not been able to move on because 1. I havent moved on and gotten better myself due to...

    So Ive had a rash on my wrist for around 2 weeks now that isnt seeming to go away. Its nothing crazy and doesnt itch so I dont think it would be dry skin. Its just a red rash on my right wrist and a very small amount of red(barely visible) on my left wrist. I noticed it right after I made some gluten free cookies. I guess it could have been from the egg...
