Thanks Scott! I do wonder if I have been glutened recently. I did eat out just prior to that test....and they have now upped my synthroid dosage...
-
I am pooped. I have had celiac since 2005 and have been okay. I am hypothyroid and my tsh level crept up from 2 to 3.5. Other bloodwork was fine but creatinine was slightly elevated to 1.05...1 being end of range. Doc said it could just be dehydration but always likes to recheck. Now I am a nervous wreck. Anyone have words of wisdom?

I have been a biopsy diagnosed celiac for 12 years. I have never tried oats and I want to... do any of you eat the truly safely???
-
TOTALLY!!!!

OMG I am an idiot. Celiac probably causes me to be a dork too :). Thanks Karen - you know I'm a nervous nelly.

I have had celiac for 12 years...does this mean I am also going to get MS? This scares me. I just read some really frustrating study and I am confused...

ARCHIVED Anxiety and Celiac and Meds
AmandaD replied to AmandaD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
For the poster with anxiety - Lexapro paired with a small dose of Buspar has been the only combo that has worked for me recently. I have had biopsy diagnosed celiac for about 12 years and no amount of gluten free food or supplements have helped. -
Are there others of you out there with celiac disease (I have it) + anxiety who also take SSRI's and find they help? Thank you...
-
Hoping to get some feedback from anyone taking lexapro. I've just recently started this medication and wanted to see if any other Celiac's take it? THANKS!

ARCHIVED Effexor XR/Venlafaxine XR
AmandaD posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi guys...does anyone take extended release Effexor (or venlafaxine) - do you all know if this is gluten free? (The generic is Teva). Thanks. -
I haven't but I've never really gotten glutened by a Starbucks yet thank GOD!
-
Guys - Just double-checking...it's still okay to drink plain brewed Starbucks coffee right? I just bought a bag of it (ground) and wanted to drink some...
-
I am totally not going back to her. Not pleased!
-
Yep - all is gluten free...I think it's too much too fast ....
-
OMG. Let me know what you think. Just went to a nutritionist who put me on a new diet to help lower my cholesterol. Diet is already gluten free, but she added chia seeds, cod liver oil, coconut oil and bone broth. I have subsequently been in the bathroom all weekend with D. Is that likely from the diet?
-
Thank you...this helps me a ton. I also heard from the wonderful pharmacist who does the gluten free drugs list and he said Synthroid is safe for celiacs to take. Yay!
-
Have had celiac (biopsy diagnosed) for about 10 years...just learned I have subclinical hypothyroidism. Have the rest of you dealt with this? Any encouragement or advice? I follow a completely gluten free diet, no real stomach symptoms anymore. Will be taking a small dose of synthroid. Thanks again!
-
So my doc called - I have "subclinical hypothyroidism" - TSH is 4.4 and Free T4 is 0.9. She said we could treat it or wait a while. I said it's fine to treat. They are putting me on Synthroid - the brand name. Are any of you on this drug? Is it actually safe for a celiac? Also...how big a deal is subclinical hypothyroidism....ugh...I detest having...
-
-
hi...she did tsh and t4 today...i learn results tomorrow...wondering what that combo is?
-
You guys are literally - THE BEST.
-
Okay...good...I was just panicking a teeny bit about this. If you have any more comforting advice let me know
-
Hi there! Been doing fine for a long time...occasionally glutened, but mostly okay! Not too many symptoms of hypo - I don't think - she was curious about testing it because I have some anxiety...so thought it would be a good idea to recheck it all and said it's a pretty simple fix (I HOPE - eek...kind of freaked to maybe have another issue going on...
-
Hi all...Checking in to say hi again... Curious...I've had biopsy-diagnosed celiac for about 11 years now and it seems that my thyroid is a teeny bit off. Is this common? (looks like my tsh is close to 3 or something like that...) They may put me on a pill to assist...

ARCHIVED Help - Sertraline Or Zoloft
AmandaD replied to AmandaD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you for all of your answers. I feel that sertraline is an excellent medication, I'm sorry you had a poor experience. Greenstone is likely safe. And Lupin is the new generic that was recommended.
