Think I'm good on dehydration (I drink a *ton* of water every day), but that was the first think my brother (a paramedic) asked when I told him how I was feeling. Definitely something important to always be aware of. With regards to the allergies and related immune response I think that's spot on and directly related to what's going on. I (like a dummy...

I did, thank you. My vitamin B12 was very high (probably from the sublingual vitamin B12 I had just started taking), my vitamin D was low (45 out of their range of 30-100), my TSH & T4 were in the levels you recommended (I guess they didn't test T3). I'm going to start boosting my vitamin D and keep fingers crossed for the additional blood work. Thank...

I'm going to have some...

Thank you

Thank you all so much for the advice, it is immensely appreciated. This whole auto-immune journey is still relatively new to me, so having the recommendations of those who have walked this path before helps a ton. My PCP seemed receptive to my concerns and ordered about a dozen blood tests including nearly all those mentioned in this thread. I began...

Good point; I have not had my tTG-IgA re-tested since my initial diagnoses. I will definitely do that asap. I too am pretty convinced it's a new illness or perhaps some extreme deficiency that is somehow only manifesting now. It is my understanding that Celiac, being an autoimmune disease, dramatically increases one's chances of developing another autoimmune...

Hi everyone, I have been a long time visitor and appreciator of the support posts here, this is my first time posting. I was hoping to get feedback/advice from those who have experienced glutening-symptoms post gluten-free diet. I was diagnosed by my PCP 2 years ago with Celiac disease and have been on a strict gluten free diet for 2 years. Initially...
