    As a gluten eater, honestly, if it's prepared well I cannot tell the difference. I had a friend who had a baking business, and I ate her dairy-free, wheat-free cookies (before I even know what gluten was) a few years ago. BEST COOKIES I'VE EVER HAD! bar none! So I don't really get the association with "gluten-free" being "gross" (I think I have been fortunate...

    Try dairy-free cheese! We have "Daiya" here in Canada

    No problem! I find the majority of symptoms really overlap with thyroid and celiac. Both are autoimmune issues and can affect the gastrointestinal tract -and- other areas (constipation if hypo, diarrhea if hyper). I was feeling very good last year after starting thyroid meds, but earlier this year I started having insane bloating out of nowhere. Other symptoms...

    Very old thread, but here's an interesting article about this! Open Original Shared Link

    Wanted to mention that these symptoms can be seen with thyroid problems as well (I'm currently seeking a celiac dx as well, and honestly am not sure which is which!). If you have hyperthyroidism, you can have eyesight problems such as blurry vision. Diarrhea and weight loss can happen too. I personally have been diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional...

    I'm really sorry to hear that autoimmune thyroid problems can be a pain to diagnose. Do you know if thyroid disease runs in your family? Your symptoms sound like hyperthyroidism to me (Graves disease) - the anxiety, eye inflammation/'popping out', etc.

    Your body can trigger intolerances quite randomly! Anecdotal evidence here: I had been drinking milk all my life, every single day, until the age of 12 when I literally woke up one day and could not digest dairy anymore. In the case of celiac, it can be due to a major trauma (such as a surgery or accident), a period of stress in your life, a virus you contracted...

    Get your thyroid antibodies checked, if possible! The acceptable range is quite vast, and many thyroid patients have symptoms even despite being in the normal range. Stiff/swollen neck or trouble swallowing is a common complaint among thyroid patients - as it can be a goitre, a common symptom of thyroid disease: Open Original Shared Link

    If your regular doctor is not compliant with testing, ask to see an endocrinologist (who typically is more well-versed in thyroid disorders). I feel for you I have had low-grade anxiety all my life (phobia's mostly, and a nervous stomach) but thyroid-induced anxiety is a whole new ball game. The first time I had a panic attack due to my medication dose...

    Oh jeez, that makes no sense seeing how conventional medicine sees hypothyroidism as a very 'treatable' disorder.

    Is there a way to buy it online? My friend with celiac disease is interested!

    I hope you get some answers soon! There seems to be a heightened connection between metaplasia of the esophagus aka Barrett's and celiac: Open Original Shared Link My father was dx with intestinal metaplasia of the stomach last year. He has had chronic (what I suspect is) gastritis, for years - and which is probably what lead to the metaplasia. Since it...

    When you say cellular changes to your esophagus, does that mean a dx of Barrett's esophagus? Do you have celiac disease along with gastritis?

    Yikes. Does she know 90% of all adult hypothyroidism is caused by an autoimmune disease?! (Hashimoto's or Graves). Sigh. You might want to ask her why you have a thyroid problem. If it's not congenital hypothyroidism (i.e. you were born without a thyroid), thyroid cancer (i.e. you had to remove your thyroid) or a problem elsewhere (such as in the pituitary...

    I didn't know doctors prescribed NDT in Canada any recommendations? all the doctors I have seen believe in prescribing T4-only medication. I did very well on Eltroxin, but after a bout of overmedication, it hasn't been suiting me. Regarding previous posts about levothyroxine: I think there is a lot of confusion regarding this! Levothyroxine sodium is...

    Get your thyroid antibodies checked. Although old lab ranges say a TSH of upto 5 is fine, newer ranges say anything above a 3 is getting iffy. Did they not check Free T3? That's the more potent thyroid hormone. I have a friend who has elevated thyroid antibodies, high FT4 (i.e. mid to upper end of the range) but very low FT3. She has classic hypo symptoms...

    No, no, if you feel like something is off - get it checked out! Don't think you're a hypochondriac for doing so, it's your body and you want to feel better as anyone would thyroid disease is very sneaky. The only reason I was dx was because I do an annual blood test. When my thyroid gave up, my symptoms were very non-specific: I was getting a puffy face...

    Hyperthyroidism can cause severe shortness of breath as well as bouts of diarrhea. Is your thyroid doing ok?

    Oh darn! just realized. I wonder if there are any others on this forum dealing with metaplasia. I have been trying to educate myself about it ever since my dad developed it. I heard it is reversible as well, if you deal with the stimulus or the instigator that caused it to develop is removed. Scary realizing it can develop into stomach cancer. Hoping to...

    What kind of symptoms are seen with an MSG intolerance?

    I know this is an old thread, but I am posting in it again! My dad has intestinal metaplasia. OP, have there been any changes in your condition?

    I love doctors like this (bless their souls!). Wish they were a dime a dozen?!?

    This is probably silly, as you may have checked it already, but what are your Vitamin B12 levels like?
