CELIAC/GLUTEN INTOLERANCE and THYROID DISEASE

[Guest guest]

The Celiac/Autoimmune Thyroid Connection

Research links Celiac Sprue Gluten-Intolerance to autoimmune thyroid

disease

According to research recently 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. "

Celiac disease, which is sometimes referred to as celiac sprue,

sprue, or gluten intolerance, makes it difficult for the body to

properly absorb nutrients from foods. Symptoms include various

intestinal difficulties, recurring abdominal bloating and pain,

nausea, anemia, gas, tingling numbness in the legs, sores inside the

mouth, painful skin rash on elbows, knees, and buttocks, cramping,

hives, joint/muscle pains and aches, diarrhea, and constipation,

among others

That is an awfully big statement for them to make about the thyroid

antibodies, being as the antibodies that are directly found in this disease

(most of the time) are the antigliadin (Sp?) antibodies, which are those to

certain things in the gut. I'm not saying that noone's thyroid antibodies

go away, I'm just saying that I would like to see proof that most people's

thyroid antibodies go away. I know how common this one is to be paired up

with thyroid disease, but----big statement!

There is a guy on the web who has a helath site who got of gluten

and was cured of his thryoid disease. Celiac disease and thryoid

disease go together.
