  1. The only meds I take are my armor for my hypothyroid....but the gut symptoms have been ongoing for upwards of 7+ years. I just started taking armor less than a year ago.
  2. I found a few very interesting articles on the relationship between SIgA and celiac/colitis! I have VERY high cortisol, hypothyroid, and as immune system in the toilet...constant sinus infections and bronchitis, as well as UTI's and yeast infections.... I kind of feels like things are starting to make sense! Open Original Shared Link
  3. Is this the same as Total Salivary SIgA? I had this tested recently and it came back VERY depressed My result was 6 mg/dl - Normal 25-60 mg/dl
  4. Thank you so much MGR! My doctor brought up Ulceritive Colitis and the symptoms sound spot on...I am making the GI appt ASAP. I always wondered why going gluten free cleared up so much and my gut remained a wreck! I have been wading through all of the bowel diseases and this seems the most probable.
  5. I have been gluten free over a year and went dairy light a few months ago and dairy free about a month and half ago. Giving up gluten solved many of my problems....numbness in my arms and legs, extreme fatigue, and some of the brain fog issues (still don't feel as quick as I used to be) When I do get "glutened" I have VERY neurological symptoms.....
  6. I have been on a gluten free diet for a year now, and I my testing was all done POST gluten free diet. The original cortisol testing was done through blood. I just received my spit test results back: Gliadin was negative (obviously, I don't eat gluten) My morning cortisol was depressed and the noon, afternnon and midnight were normal. My total...
  7. The peak range (morning) was Range: 2.3-19.4 and my result (taken around noon) was 36.4
  8. The last time my antibodies were tested I had been gluten free for almost 3 months, so, it seems as though they are useless. I will look into the adrenal support supplement, I did a spit test for adrenal function and should know the results of that very soon. My only antibody test was 9 months ago: Gluten free for a little over 3 months at the time ...
  9. She refuses to run my antibodies again (because my insurace won't cover them), they haven't been tested in 9 months. I am going to a new Dr. on the 30th. I just want some answers...I'm sick of being told to take fish oil and sleep more. My D3 is low and my tests basically indicate I'm at high risk for cardiac episodes, which makes zero sense...I am a...
  10. Bit of an update on this: I have been informed that the spit test I did for my high cortisol will also test for the celiac GENE, which makes a lot more sense. Hoping to get that test result back soon. Thanks a bunch guys!
  11. Hi ya'll I got some new blood work back yesterday and I am not comforted by the results, obviously something is wrong...and I'm not getting any answers. I am Hypothyroid but non hashimotos and have been gluten free for almost a year I have a couple of off the charts results in inflammation and cortisol: Cortisol 36.4 ug/dl Range: 2.3-19...
  12. Just noticed my ridges recently, which seems strange because I didn't have them before going gluten free...I had a sneaking suspicion it was malabsorption. and....holy crap where are my moons! I'm missing 6 of them!!!
  13. I was getting bloodwork done a few days ago to test my thyroid and a few other things and I was recommended a cortisol test for adrenal function as my cortisol was double the highest number. I got the test home and realised that it also has a box to test for celiac. My doctor recommended testing as my symptoms are many. Does anyone have any experience...
  14. Thank you all for you advice! I haven't had any problem with red wine and that is usually all I drink. It was a coyote ugly (so probably not super clean) but the glasses were plastic so I figured I was okay. The vodky i'm sure didn't help, I usually don't drink much liquor. We ate at a restaurant earlier that I usually have no problem with and they have...
  15. I am also dealing with the combination of hypothyroid and Gluten intolerance. I did not realize it would take so long for my joint pain/tendonitis/carpal to improve. This website is such a lifesaver. I am going to check out orthopedic massage for sure!
