Coeliac and Thyroid?

Folks,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the optimal level of thyroid blood markers for a healthy Thyroid are? I know there's a link between Coeliac and Thyroid issues. I've noticed a downward trend in TSH and T4 over my last few blood tests .. 1.08 and 12 respectively.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I asked the same question a few days ago.  Had a similar test result.  Hoping someone will answer us.  I did not find anything about Celiac and thyroid on the Mayo clinic site and my pharmacist said he did not know and thought a doctor would be a better person to ask.  But getting a doctor's appt these days to ask is becoming very difficult here in the U.S.

I think there is a connection between Coeliac, Thyroid and Histamine Intolerance.  From what I've come across, optimal levels of TSH are between 1.8 and 2.25 ... the reference range on my lab is 0.35 to 4.95.

My lab result last week were 0.11. I have never had a low result before and the big thing that's changed is my diagnosis of Celiac.  I was given a new dosage to take but don't know whether to be alarmed or not. Have never heard of Histzmine intolerance.

We Coeliacs can suffer from nutrient deficiencies relatively easily, years after healing our guts with strict adherence to the gluten free diet. Even more so if we eat more meat than seafood or restrict because of fear of food or past bad experiences.

Maybe engaging with a functional medical practitioner as an adjunct to your regular doctor. Coeliac Disease and Thyroid Disease are closely related, they share the same genes along with T1D. 

I've educated myself on how the thyroid works and all the critical nutrient it needs to function properly. I found a lot of good information from Dr. Westin Childs. Zinc, Selenium, Iodine, Iron and Magnesium are all required for the thyroid to function properly. This lady has Coeliac and Hashimoto's and provides lots of good information https://thrivingautoimmune.com/ . It's not medical advice, but worth educating yourself ... knowledge is power.

Thank you so much, Rogo172

I made an appointment with my GI a couple of days ago. I saw her right after I was first diagnosed by endoscopy last summer and she spent an hour with me. I will be seeing her in late April and will bring her my food diary, which she advised me to keep.  I appreciate the link, since I know very little about the thyroid, given that I have had Hashimoto since I was very young.  I am anxious to know if my thyroid corrects with the new dosage and if low thryoid is contributing to some problems I've been having.  I appreciate your imput, your knowledge and your links. Thank you!

Rogo, I went to the site.  Very helpful.  I will wait to see what a change in dosage does for my symptoms and will try some of the recipes on the site. 

 

Thanks again!

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
