Hello everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else has celiac and Hashimotos? I hear is common.  I have my celiac antibodies under control but my Hashimotos antibodies(tpos) have gone up from 95  to 175 so moving in the wrong direction. Has anyone been able to bring thryroid antibodies down? If yes, any tips?. I went dairy free 10 months ago when I was told  I had Hashimotos.  I am so thankful for this forums. It is the only place where I have learned information that actually made a difference in my celiac journey.  Thanks again

@Raquel2021,

Thiamine deficiency goes along with Hashimoto's.  

I stopped losing my hair  and felt much better after I supplemented with high dose Thiamine.

Here's some interesting articles...

Thank you . Very interesting.  I have tried taking a b complex and it would cause me severe insomnia so I am trying to get my vitamins from diet. How did you find out you had a B1 deficiency?

@Raquel2021,

My story and my research is in my blog, linked below.  

I was misdiagnosed.  For a very long time.  My doctors were clueless.  I depended on what I learned at university.  I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through, so now I'm here. 

 Knowledge is power. 

If you have any questions, I'm very happy to answer them.

I take my B vitamins earlier in the day.  The B12, Thiamine and Niacin can make one feel energized.  Magnesium is a cofactor with some B vitamins, so you might not be bothered by insomnia if you add a magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate  supplement after a meal.  

Niacin can cause flushing, a vasodilation of small blood vessels, which is harmless and goes away as Niacin stores in the body are replenished.  

I like this B Complex...

Hope this helps!

Do you also have Hashimotos? Thanks

@Raquel2021,

Well, not anymore.  Thiamine is needed for the thyroid to function properly, too.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By trents · Posted

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
