Trouble Boosting Thyroid Levels? Check for Celiac
Unable to get your thyroid levels up despite therapy? If you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, this suggests the possibility of a genetic wheat allergy called celiac disease — which is present in about 2-4% of those with CFS and fibromyalgia. Here's how I'm now responding to this problem.
I am now testing for celiac as part of my panel for new patients — because addressing this condition, if it's present, can markedly improve CFS/FMS symptoms, too. There are two tests: 1) anti-transglutaminase IgG, and 2) anti-transglutaminase IgA. These can be done at any lab, and give a straightforward "yes" or "no" answer to whether or not you have celiac.
