I wanted to make a connection with two auto-immune disorders. I've had this conversation with my endocrinologist, who was the detail person who tested me and diagnosed my CD 5 years ago. So, I have an under active thyroid. My dosage for synthroid kept increasing until I was diagnosed with Celiac. I did not recognize the GI symptoms, I thought I had lyme disease with a fever and bone pain. Once on a GF diet, my body could actually absorb the synthroid and my synthroid levels dropped. I finally have leveled off at a dosage after 5 years. If you know anyone else with thyroid issues find their dosage increasing then suggest they get tested for Celiacs. Or if you are recently diagnosed with CD, and are taking thyroid hormones, or any maintenance medicines, then have them checked at regular intervals, as your absorption will get better with the GF diet. Interesting that my allergy meds also worked better after my absorption increased following the intestinal healing from a gluten-free diet. I thought this healthy social media site would be a great place to share. Rock on!
