Hysterectomy at 38
Hi there, I’m new to this so forgive me! I’ve had endometriosis probably since I started my periods at 13. I was put on the pill at 18 for “heavy periods”. At 28 I came off the pill and symptoms began in earnest. Eventually I had a laparoscopy to diagnose it but no treatment was offered. I did a gluten

How to put on weight?
I have Hashimoto’s and am following a strictly gluten free diet. I find it difficult to maintain my weight and am just under 8sts, with alternating diarrhoea and constipation. I’m 5’6 so I could do with gaining some weight. I saw a dietician for a while who diagnosed SIBO: I followed the treatment: supplements

What do you think of my Endo's comments!!
Hi All Well I saw the endocrinologist last week (privately - self funding) and he said my results are all fine. (Serum TSH 0.29 range 0.30-3.94, Serum Free T4 13.6 range 12.30-20.20, Serum Free T3 3.7 range 3.70-6.70). I asked him why my surgery had asked to see me following these results and he said

Iga nephritis - gluten free diet
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone else had heard or knew of a strong link between iga nephritis and gluten intolerance or other digestive issues? I'm receiving treatment to fix my immune system attacking my kidneys and have been reading up on the mechanism of activation of the iga in the body. Some

Is a gut biopsy worth the pain/effort?
I have suspected I have coeliac disease for many years, but I have been tested several times and am always negative. It was in one of the later tests that I discovered I had partial IgA deficiency which meant the previous testing was suspect. After a long, hard fight I succeeded in getting IgG testing

Should I ask for T3 trial ?
I posted these results the other day in order to ask whether it was worth pursuing a trial of T3 since the conversion from T4 to T3 doesn't look great (FT3 isn't even in the middle of the range) but didn't get a response re: medication specifically. May 18 THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE 0.872 mIU/L 0.27

Gluten 'hangover' recovery time
Two days ago went out to eat and broke my gluten-free diet BIG time. Today I feel awful-physically and mentally. Endo just raised my levo dose also last week so this might be adding to my self-inflicted misery. When am I going to feel better from this really bad gluten-filled day? I feel really stupid

Retinex Max supplements; worth it or a waste of money?
Asked nurses if supplements such as Retinex Max (sold by Healthspan) containing
Lutein
(Free Base) 20mg, Zeaxanthin 2,000ug, Vitamin B2 1.4mg (100% NRV). They said some find it helps but suggested I ask on here. Not too expensive if it's going to help and save the other eye from Wet AMD?

Avocardo: Health Benefits
High
Lutein
Levels Currently,
lutein
is arousing much interest, because of its potent antioxidant action and neurodevelopmental as well as neuroprotective actions in the human body. Avocados contain the highest concentration of

Glutegard and similar products - any good?
Hello. This is my first post here although I've been a member of the Thyroid UK community on HU for several months. As a result of advice there I've been following a gluten free diet for eight months now and feel much better for it. I also notice how my body reacts if I do get accidentally glutened.

I think all autoimmune Thyroiditis suffers should go gluten-free
As per the title, this is an opinion piece. Please see the disclaimer at the bottom that has been there since the start. I’m surprised the Thyroid UK site doesn’t say this already. I’m living proof of the dramatic impact, on anti-thyroid antibodies, that switching to a gluten-free diet can have. It

Biofeedback/Evelina/Great Ormond Street
Hi, Just wondered if any of you had come across biofeedback bowel training for children? My son has been unable to do a normal bowel movement for 9 months now (age 9.5 and in nappies) and we are seeing gastroenterologist in couple of weeks and I’m thinking of asking him to refer us to Great Ormond Street

Newly diagnosed Hashimoto
Hi all, I have just been diagnosed with Hashimoto ‘s thyroid disease. I am fortunate to have no symptoms but found a lump on my thyroid. As I have a sister with the disease and my other sister is type 1 diabetic it seemed an obvious diagnosis. My free t4 is 16.4 g(12.0-22.0), tsh (1.42(0.27-4.2) and

My fatigue mystery solved
I’d like to share my story in the hope that it might help someone else. For as long as I can remember I’ve been battling chronic fatigue, pain, insomnia, bowel issues and been told there was nothing wrong because the standard NHS blood tests said so. I had been on this forum before as I had to assume

Mixed feelings about appointment
So I had my doctors appointment this morning following up blood tests (only the aforementioned TPO 117 iu/ml and TSH 2.2 (range 0.1-4.5) was measure unfortunately SeasideSusie). GP agreed to trying me on 75mcg levothyroxine on a trial basis which is good, and wants me in next week for bloods to check T3
