Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi I am presently reading a book called IS GLUTEN MAKING YOU ILL by Shari Lieberman and I am now even more determined to eliminate gluten (at least). In fact I have been cutting down on bread and wheat based foods and find that when I do eat bread on the odd occasion I feel really tired shortly afterwards. Has anybody had really good results from just eliminating gluten???? I found this too on About.com (thyroid) ''According to research reported on in the medical journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences, a significant number of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease also have celiac disease. Celiac disease is a disorder that causes the intestines to react abnormally to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, kamut, and other related grains.'' "...researchers found that...organ-specific autoantibodies (i.e., thyroid antibodies) -- will disappear after 3 to 6 months of a gluten-free diet."
