  1. I was supposed to be injected in my neck but cancelled the procedure after the glycine diagnosis.
  2. I was on the steroids in July but didn't get tested for celiac until September. I think I finished 7/23 and was tested for celiac 9/26. Is that enough time? A lot of you have thyroid issues on top of the celiac, did you have difficulty breathing and rapid heart rate when on synthroid? My resting heart rate was 115 today and bp 142/89. I feel like the...
  3. Thank you so much for the encouragement. My TSH was 1.19 in 2009. I developed different neurological symptoms and pain and weakness in neck that radiated down my right arm (brachial neuritits) so I was prescribed corticosteroids and Vicodin several times a year since 2010. I started gaining tons of weight. And now I have all these new problems which could...
  4. I made an appt with an endo for this wednesday. My regular PCP just raised the synthroid from 50 to 88 and wanted to recheck TSH in December. That just doesn't seem curious enough to me. I want to know what my T3 and T4 levels are and what is causing my thyroid to suddenly have these struggles? Hashimoto's? Is there a reason my pcp wouldn't run the test...
  5. Doc wants to up my dose of synthroid from 50 to 88. Should I give up on trying to get a celiac diagnosis? How do I know if my hypothyroid is due to Hashimotos?
  6. Last week I got my blood drawn to test for gluten antibodies. I got the results sent to my account today and I can't believe they are negative! I've been off gluten the past week (starting AFTER my tests) with a huge reduction in symptoms. I'm actually disappointed the tests came back this way. Here are the numbers. Can you help me make sense of this...
  7. Hey, I just had my test done yesterday at the Cleveland Clinic and can't wait to hear back! Did you have any trouble getting a diagnosis? I like my doctor and she was fine about doing the test but I think she only did the IGG and IGA. Is that common to start? Did you have to do the endoscopy?
  8. Yes after the third yellow d it burns because it is basically just bile and un or semi digested food. I just had a CT scan and blood work 2 weeks ago and gall bladder looks good. So I don't think it's that. What does stretching your esophagus do? I really feel that once I'm allowed to go gluten free the acid reflux and D will go away. My yellow D will happen...
  9. Oh yea, I forgot to mention I sometimes get reflux. It will wake me up in the middle of the night and I can't breathe because my throat is closed up. I gasp for air and it takes a while to calm it all back down. I don't sleep we'll at all. No more than 45 minutes at a time so I am always tired. I'm getting tested tomorrow for celiac. The thyroid problem...
  10. Oh, I also have asthma that comes and goes. If that makes sense. I have an inhaler which I rarely have to use but then I'll get pneumonia or bronchitis and I was in the ER last year with pneumonia.
  11. I have lots of problems. I have alternated between constipation and painful diarreah for a year now. Constant chronic headaches, occasional migraines. Tingling and numbness with muscle weakness in right arm, left eye twitches, I burp a lot. Wake up in the middle of the night due to diarreah. INSOMNIA. Anxiety, weight gain, recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism...
  12. Doc wanted to go with IBS which I think of as more of a symptom than a diagnosis. Anyone know anything about this symptom?
  13. This lab work was scheduled 6 weeks ago when she first discovered severe vitamin d deficiency and hypothyroidism. So it was just supposed to be a follow up to that but I asked for the celiac as well since they would already be drawing blood.
  14. Hi. I'm new here. I have a huge host of symptoms that doctors kept treating individually until I asked for a celiac test, which I'm getting in one week. However, I want to go gluten free NOW! I started yesterday and believe it or not already feel slightly better (no headache for first time I weeks). Will the test still be able to pick up antibodies after...
