What should I do ?

[Bonny2]

Hello , I have been suffering from symptoms like brain fog , dry hair and hair loss , fatigue' my hands shaking a'd mood swings. I had my thyroid tested twice and it came up fine both times . I also have chicken skin and bloating somethings so maybe it's gluten intolerance .Should I get tested ?

The symptoms of Coeliac disease are many and varied. It could be a good idea to have the test, even if it is just to eliminate the possibility.

Perhaps also have a look at Non-Coeliac Gluten sensitivity and possibly check out other autoimmune disorders.

Good luck.

Thanks . But could the thyroid tests be wrong. I read about a few people who had trouble getting diagnosed with hypothyroidism .

If you get your test results from your doctor, you could post them on the Thyroid site to get some advice.

The NHS rarely does the correct testing. You need the following - TSH - FT4 - FT3 & Thyroid Anti- bodies TPO & Tg. Also B12 - FOLATE - FERRITIN - VITD as some of your symptoms could be linked to LOW nutrients - especially if you have absorption issues.

Are you in a position to have private testing done - self testing kits can be sent to your home - through Thyroid UK and used by 1000's as it's the only way to get diagnosed. Happy to help ...
