ARCHIVED Intro; Reaction To Thyroid Medication?; Or Hope To Share?
paints replied to paints's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
THANK YOU guys for the helpful info – the WP sounds good, with no magnesium stearate, which gives me some problems. And there IS cornstarch in the Levothroid, so there’s another avenue to pursue. A non-prescription alternative to consider also! Will keep in mind that I may need less now. Mamaw, Prickly Pear, Stephanie, GFinDC (your boiling bowels scr... -
ARCHIVED Intro; Reaction To Thyroid Medication?; Or Hope To Share?
paints posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Guys! Has anyone had a strong reaction to Levothroid or another thyroid medication? I've been gluten-free now for two or three months and I seem to be very sensitive. Don't tolerate gluten-free oats, rice, corn, soy, dairy, nightshades, bananas, shrimp, yeasts, fermented foods and others I forget. So, I've been really incapacitated by all... -
ARCHIVED Thanks For Sharing Your Thoughts On My Son's Test!
paints replied to paints's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just to update: When the GI doc reviewed my son's symptoms and test results yesterday, he said that neither pointed to celiac, in fact he is "certain" he does not have celiac (ex-husband trembled with glee that he'd have no inconvenience with dietary restrictions) and he would not waste an endoscopy in this case! This doctor said it would be too unusual... -

Ohhhhhh, thanks so much for that info! Incredibly helpful. His pediatrician ran the test results and thankfully she was willing to order every one I asked for. He will certainly be going gluten-free regardless of the biopsy results. Actually, it is almost physically painful for me to give him gluten at this point, but for various reasons, but it will... -

Hi Nicole, Yes, the Immunoglobulin A was normal. Diabetes has been ruled out. I found that report very helpful, but confusing when it comes to the TTG IgG. It doesn't give it's specificity and sensitivity alone, but groups its specificity and sensitivity (last) along with some of the other tests? Does that indicate the reliability when the tests are... -

Hi everyone, my first posting! Please share any thoughts, I will appreciate it so much. And this one is for my son: He's eight and has been through such a rough time with a broad range of symptoms, from learning issues to emotional problems that don't seem to "match up" with him to low weight and height. Stranger issues too, like an insane hunger even...
