Thyroid Issues!

Greetings,

Does anyone have thyroid issues? I had my thyroid tested and my tsh was 3.64. My doctor told me I need to take meds, but I am in the normal range.

I have felt terrible for a long time. I have felt like I have the flu, I have nooooooooo energy and can't seem to get out of my own way. I am also being treated for Lyme Disease. I had a bite and my first test was positive.

Any thoughts????

Your TSH is really not in the normal range at all. That range of normal being up to 5.0 is long outdated, and now the upper limit of normal is 3.0, some doctors say it should be no higher than 2.0.

Mine was 3.79, and it took a lot of convincing to get my doctor to give me meds. The best one to try is Armour Thyroid (in Canada dessicated thyroid), as it is natural and contains both T4 and T3.

A lot of people with celiac disease who have thyroid issues also have adrenal fatigue. Check out what the people on this website have to say about both. It sounds like you could definitely benefit from treatment of both problems. Open Original Shared Link

What is being done for the Lyme disease? That alone can make you feel absolutely terrible, of course. It can also cause thyroid problems.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
