I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in April, then Hashimotos and severe anemia in June by an endocrinologist. My GP suspects Celiacs. I've cut out gluten and feel so much better. My iron saturation went from 14 to 12 on my last blood work. Th endocrinologist upped my Ferritin Gluconate to 1 1/2 325mg daily. I started having a cup of orange juice with the iron. I have headaches my entire life, but they had pretty much subsided until 2 weeks ago. I've had a splitting headache daily. Here's the odd thing - if I eat or drink protein it takes the headache away. Must be anemia related? From the research I've done I think it could be an absorption issue. I started B12 this morning. I'm hoping this helps. Anyone else with this problem or similar? TIA

If you plan on getting testing done for celiac disease, please be aware that you will have to go back on regular daily amounts of gluten (equivalent of 2 slices of wheat bread) for 6-8 weeks before serum antibody testing and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy/biopsy.

Yeah. No. Hahahahahah. I'd rather just not eat gluten.

You may want to include a B Complex, as some B vitamins rely on there being enough of other B vitamins to be absorbed properly. I'm nut sure if you found our articles yet on research related to thyroid issues and celiac disease:

Amongst the 4000 supplements daily, I also take a multi vitamin and Niacin at night. Maybe that's enough B's?

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By StaciField · Posted

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
