    They are micrograms. I have been on this high of a dose since I was pregnant with my son, he just turned 9. My endo wants my TSH to be between two and three, but it seems I can never get there. My FT4 is always normal so we don't up the dosage. Maybe that will change once I start absorbing more, maybe I am having a problem absorbing the meds also? I had...

    I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and had my children tested as a precaution, my daughter was having some troubles with constipation,fainting, and upset bellies for a while. Her blood test came up positive and our GP said to have her go gluten free. There isn't a pediatric GI in the town that we live in, one has to come from Mayo in Rochester. When...

    Thank you guys for your responses. I know I asked a lot of questions where the answers vary from person to person. NVSMOM - I was diagnosed with Grave's disease almost twelve years ago. My thyroid levels have been good, a little on the high end of normal but still within normal range. I have been on a dose of 300 one day 450 the next. I really don...

    I sent out an e-mail to my family just to let them know that I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, listed a few websites with information ( this being one of them) listed the tests that were needed, and let them know that if they had any questions to let me know and I would try to help them out as best I could. My parents I called, I had been having a lot...

    Hi all, my name is Beth and am a newly diagnosed celiac, April 6th 2014. My daughter is 11 and is newly diagnosed also. I have a ton of questions, so I am going to lump them all into one post if that's ok....... 1. I know this is a totally dumb question, but when will I start to feel better? My nausea has gotten better ( got my appendix out two weeks...

    I wish I could go back to your age and find out I was a celiac. I am 37 years old, just diagnosed on April 6th after 20+ years of symptoms and as far as we can figure being born a celiac. My daughter was also just diagnosed, she is 11. She is having a hard time right now because gluten doesn't cause a lot of stomach issues for her, she has fainting issues...

    I came here today strictly looking for advise on this same sort of thing. I was diagnosed exactly a month ago and my daughter was diagnosed yesterday. I am an emotional mess right now, sitting here bawling as type. It would be easier if I had full custody of my children but I don't and my ex-husband isn't really at an understanding point right now with...

    I was diagnosed three weeks ago and have been as gluten free as I can right now ( mistakes have been made by the newbie). I was wondering ( and I know this sounds like a rather stupid impatient question), when will I start to feel better? I am still waking up every day nauseous, and am still relying pretty heavily on the dicyclomine for the cramping and...

    Thank you all for the wonderful ideas. Everyone has been so helpful, it really brings a tear to my eye. No one at home, friends, kids, family quite understand what is going on and it is nice to talk to people that do

    New to the Celiac, old on the Grave's and a lab technician for 16 years. Doctors use your TSH and Free T4 results to base how they are going to adjusts meds. If your TSH is either borderline high or low but you have a normal Free T4, they most likely wont adjust your meds unless you are hypersensitive with hypo or hyper ( I get awful body cramps if my TSH...

    I have read the newbie thread and still have a few questions if no one minds answering them. I know right now I need to go whole foods, things that I have cooked myself, but do I have to be careful of things other than dairy right now? I know everyone is different and has a problem with different foods but are there ones that are more prone to upsetting...

    I have read the newbie thread and am grateful for the wealth of information I have found on this site. I would have never thought of things such as my boyfriend or kids getting me if they kiss me or my toothpaste and mouthwash. It is amazing to me the amount of things that have gluten in them that a week ago wasn't of consequence to me. I also have so many...

    I am hoping that since this post is a week old you have discussed this with your doctor already. The bilirubin results being elevated would indicate problems with the liver, something to definitely get checked out by a doctor. The potassium result would have been considered normal in the lab that I worked at, normals vary from lab to lab based on their instrumentation...

    I am so happy I found this website. I was just diagnosed on Monday, today being Friday so I am new to this also. It is so overwhelming! I glutened myself yesterday and ended up in the ER. Not sure how I did or if it is just residual pain from the big old bowl of shredded wheat I ate the day before my diagnosis not even thinking that I was going to be positive...

    Thank you guys. I am just so lost right now. Happy I finally after ten years of feeling like pooh I have a reason why, but now just really confused on where to start. I wish the appointment with the nutritionist was right after the diagnosis. I kind of feel like a bird that can't fly that got pushed out of the nest. I never would have thought about asking...

    Hi everyone, my name is Beth and just received my Celiac diagnosis today. Needless to say I am way overwhelmed about what I can put in my mouth right now and what I can't. I don't have an appointment with a nutritionist for two weeks. My boyfriend was nice enough to go through my cupboards and put aside things we know I can't eat and made a space for foods...
