    Hi Owlmuse, I had graves dx when I was 30 not long after the birth of my son (which is a common), i was on carbamazole for a year and then my levels were normal. 3 years ago after suffering severe stress (husband had lung cancer) my graves started again and they tried to control with meds. I was told that because it had come back, it was likely to continue...

    Hi Janice, I agree with nvsmom that it could be more of an allergy. I have similar reactions when I have milk and cheese.. and also my levothyroxine meds. My throat feels like it swells, inhibits my breathing, causes phlemn and a tightness in my back and chest. When I eat dairy-free Im so much better. Hope you find out what is causing your symptoms...

    Thanks for the reply... Im actually in the UK so not sure if id qualify for a tax break. So if there can be a false positive on the bloodwork, does that mean its more an intolerance than celiac? Or is the test not specific to celiac and therefore could i be looking at yet another autoimmune disease? All very confusing

    Hi all, I had two blood tests which both tested positive for the antibodies (don't koiw results or the tests they did). I went gluten free for 4 weeks and felt like a different person but then my dietician told me I had to eat gluten again for the biopsy. Ive been trying to eat it and feel worse than ever (can't understand that!). Do I really need the biopsy...
