    Well while you're trying to find out what is causing pain/inflamation to your joints. There's a couple of recipes I use when i have flare ups which maybe worth a try...they're yummy too! Open Original Shared Link Or.. juice some apples, carrots, half a lemon and about an inch of fresh ginger (or frozen) Or slice a piece of fresh ginger into hot...

    Maybe dairy (casein) is the culprit. You could try keeping a food journal and trying an elimination diet.

    Thank you for that link, think I saw it before but forgot about it (brainfog again!). I'll contact them i've nothing to lose and would imagine natural thyroid replacement has got to be better. Hope you're feeling better and healing now. Sorry to hear about your mum and her eyesight. I had graves, it was an horrible experience so i had the tt and yeah...

    Oh we are so behind in the uk sometimes lol...I've asked about it, but again been given 'blank' looks. I'm not doing too bad, so I'll try other approaches like taking selenium and zinc...think I've read a few places it can help?? or maybe once my gut has healed etc things may improve naturally ... I hope

    Ah thanks for replying nvsmom. I really doubt I'll get hold of Armour so trying to do the best i can converting t4 only. I also get the shakes sometimes and wondered if it was a build up of too much t4 or converting too much rt3. I don't know my levels at the moment but I need to get re-tested as I suppose things may have changed since been gluten-free.

    Thanks cyclinglady its good to know someone else has been through it. Glad its all sorted for you now . Unfortunately, whenever I mentioned Armour to my doctor or chemist they look at me blankly so I'm not sure its readily available in the uk. I don't get wired as such by taking it at night but drinking so much water before bedtime doesnt help and I...

    I've not tried gluten-free noodles but the gloopyness (looked like wallpaper paste yuk!) happened to me when I cooked gluten-free pasta in a pan until I found out I was supposed to put it in boiling water (not cold) and then simmer. I don't know if its the same with noodles.

    My dosage is 150mg one day then 175mg the next (had a tt last year). My symptoms seem to swing from hypo to hyper. I know I shouldnt take the medication close to having calcium and iron and think I feel better if I take my Levothyroxine before bedtime after drinking lots of water. But was wondering if any of you split your medication throughout the day...

    I've been a veggie for over 30 yrs now and when I was dx with celiac 9 months ago I felt so daunted by the idea there was something else I couldnt eat. In actual fact being a veggie has probably helped me because after 30 years I'm used to scrutinising labels lol. There's loads of free websites like www.theglutenfreevegan.com but I tend to do what Karen...

    Hi Wiggle, I've had most of your symptoms including brain fog. I know what you mean about your family gp not understanding about brain fog. Have you been referred to a specialist yet? because mine is brilliant and totally gets it! I joined coeliac uk in January (expired now) and attended a local seminar run by Dr Stuart Currie a neuroradiologist working...

    I've only been dx and gluten-free for 8 months but suspect I've had celiac for years. My son is now 12 but before I had him I was trying to conceive for nearly two years and getting very stressed and upset. Anyway, I assumed the problem was that I was overweight so I started a wholefood only diet...obviously cutting out bread, biscuits, pasta etc too...

    Sorry... if you have any more concerns, then please keep asking questions on this site. There are lots of people who are happy to help
  16. VeggieGal
    Well its important that you keep going to your doctor and explaining your symptoms and you don't give in until they do more tests and you get some answers. Theres lots of knowledgeable people on here, so maybe you could start a new thread about any of your symptoms/concerns. All the best.

    Yes definately cmw! To be honest, I've got their food directory but have never used it...what do you think to it? I've 'liked' their facebook page but they recently gave questionable info about what they class as gluten free beer and my dietician said they were promoting kelloggs rice krispies as gluten-free but as far as I can tell they're not suitable ...

    Open Original Shared Link This links states that hla typing is not routinely used, so you may struggle to get tested thru the nhs (I think due to cost to the nhs and because on its own, it doesnt give a definitive diagnosis) but it won't hurt for you to ask.
  21. VeggieGal
    Well on the nhs, its free and they had to send tests to london for results which took a couple of weeks. I really don't know how successful you will be in trying to convince gp/hospital to test you for hla typing. I was lucky and had a particularly good specialist who was trying to support me. If your gp isnt helpful, you could always ask if they can...

    Hi heather.....welcome! I'm from yorkshire (sheffield) and nearly 8 months into it too. Ive let my membership lapse on coeliac uk, its ok but this site has been far more valuable to me since diagnosis but I may join it again at some point. Yes I'm the same, and had to cut out dairy and soya, but there is alternatives but its finding out what works best...

    Thanks IH, I think I will seriously look into the paleo lifestyle :)

    Hi Ol_Mauri, I'm in the uk and my gp arranged the general coeliac blood tests for me which tested positive. They then refe red me to a specialist at the hospital to arrange the biopsy but me being me I couldnt tolerate the procedure so they arranged hla typing tests as an extra confirmation that I had the disease. You need to contact your normal gp first...

    Hi cap6, there is no need to apologise, you didnt say anything wrong at all. I've read in a few places since this post that grains can be hard to digest and like others are saying, we have to be our own advocate and work out what we can and can't cope with. We'll get there Just to add...yes Chad, since I've cut out caffeine, I've also noticed a huge difference...
