I have just been diagnosed with a TIA... - Gluten Free Guerr...
I have just been diagnosed with a TIA. This is a really bad year for me. Does anyone know of any links between coeliac disease and stroke.
Very sorry to hear about your health problems, Mia. I have no experience of this but there is some discussion on coeliac.com
I have CD and Hashimotos, Cushing's disease, sarcoidosis, osteoporosis and hyperparathyroidism. I tested -ve for APS but it +ve for multi endocrine neoplasia. They think the TIAs are a result of the excess calcium due to the hyperparathyroidism. I just wondered if there was also a link to my CD
I think your best bet would be to ask the Stroke Association: stroke.org.uk/ as they're often doing research into strokes and TIAS. Generally multiple immune system problems will strain the body and therefore other problems can arise. As to whether they are linked - more research is often needed. This USA site which is very good cites some recent research which you may find handy: celiaccentral.org/research-... Hopefully if other members if they've had the same experience can add more. But do ask the Stroke experts.
Thanks Fiona I will do
Hi there, stroke is linked to lack of T3. T3 and T4 are hormones made by the thyroid. as in
hypo/hyper thyroid-autoimmune which is linked to celiac disease. if you have one auto-immune problem you are likely to have other`s. I have autoimmune thyroiditis , 1970`s
and possably RA mid 2000`s and now aged 65 celiac. or wheat intolerance. all so dermatitis. you can buy both T4 and T3 over the net. you may get tested for these by most GP`s don`t get trained in this area and help is hard to come by. i do may own research and take natural cures to keep well. GOOGLE stroke and T3 and you will find the file you need to print out for your doctor. don`t believe all the things your doctor says get another opinion
and be in charge of your own health. doctor`s lack info to help us all so they do harm without realising it. also the drug company`s are behind a lot of it they need to make a profit.
so doctors are not told about the many natural drugs /herbs and vitamins out their that have a good effect on the body. you don`t get sick because you lack antidepressants
in the body. hormones are needed by every cell in the body -their are 50 produced by the Adrenals and the thyroid as 4 ,. so as i say do the research and stay well.
Also in some cases people can have Hughes Syndrome, thyroid issues often go with this, plus also sjogrens disease. Hope this helps. Mary F x
