Re: From Beth L: My thyroid is enlarged, hmmm

[Guest guest]

Just to toss out another possibility - if you came up negative for

thyroid isssues, there is another auto-immune disease (I developed it

after implants) called celiac.

It's a sensitivity to gluten (the protein found in

wheat/rye/oats/barley/spelt) that produces an autoimmune response.

Triggers for adult onset can be surgery, stress, pregnancy, etc.

Antibodies are produced; it can be tested.

Often symptoms are MS-like symptoms due to vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Classic symptoms are digestive, but more and more studies are

revealing a link to: thyroid disease, diabetes, anemia, peripheral

neuropathy, various vitamin deficiencies, migraines,

fibromyalgia/Lupus, etc...

Google your symptoms with the word " gluten " .

Good luck!

You should definitely have all the tests for thyroid antibodies,

antithyroid peroxidase ab

anti thyroglobulin

Dear Beth,

I have similar symptoms, have had all kinds of thyroid

tests and it is always negative. You have not been

explanted very long about one year right?? That is

not long enough for you to completely heal.

Severe undertreatement of the thyroid or thyroid resitance, will cause nerve issues and ms like issues. As well as Rhuematoid arthrtis symptoms. Read www.drlowe.com regarding symtpoms that are typical of undertreated thyroid.
