Anyone taking Armour?  Are you having Celiac reactions??  It says its gluten free, on the gluten free drugs, but the articles on it says no.

What’s articles are you referencing?  Armour Thyroid does not contain gluten.   I have taken it for over 20 years and my small intestine has healed.  
 

You could have an intolerance to any of the inactive ingredients.  But it should not be a reaction causing celiac disease to flare.

I used to take Armour, and I was fine.  Then they switched me to Naturethroid, and it was recalled lately.  So they put me back on Armour, and I had a reaction.  I took Armour for 10 years!!  Read an article, and it said it wasn't gluten-free.  But thanks.

What article?  Please cite it (provide a link).  
 

Porcine thyroid products are being recalled lately due to raw material supply issues.  This has pretty much impact all non-synthetic thyroid medications.  Thank you pandemic!   If you are having a celiac disease reaction, report it to the FDA.  It could be that you are reacting to the inactive ingredients that may have changed.

This is a good site to search the ingredients used in drugs:

It looks like Allergan's version is gluten-free:

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Hello! I would appreciate help understanding my 17 year old daughter’s celiac panel.  Symptoms are general stomach discomfort, daily headaches (for years), fatigue. My husband is in process of being diagnosed as well.  test results: Demidiated Gliadin Abs, IgA - negative  Demediated Gliadin Abs, IgG - negative  tTG IGA - negative  endometrial antibody IgA - negative  tTG- igG - weak positive Immunoglobulin A, Qn, serum - *low* 72 (range is 87-352) vitamin D also very *low* at 21 (range 30-100) From what I’ve read the combination of deficiencies in vit d and immunoglobulin A plus weak positive tTG-IgG can indicate Celiac disease.  Thoughts?

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      Just the blood tests originally, which lead to the biopsy. The original blood tests and what they provided are lost, though I don't recall any hard evidence that it was related to celiac. They found a few polyps, but couldn't link them to celiac or gluten-intolerance. I have been under my own and my doctor's assumptions this whole time.

      Did you have any celiac antibody blood tests? Or just the gastroscopy/biopsy?
