Well I'll spare everyone the details. While I had Graves what went in came out... And a bit. As my thyroid came back into normal range ( according to GP criteria) I began to realize that for example I'd have full on curry take away beer etc say Friday, Saturday was Pizza ( xfactor BGT etc= pizza) Sunday full cooked brekky and Roast dinner. Now with Graves I was losing weight on this. But now nothing at all felt it was being digested, I was on some meds then and I remember saying it will take 4 or 5 days for my stomach to realize they were there. This was so miserable I saw GP ( recent changes and all that) I was found to have microscopic colitis. Probably 5 years ago. GP and GI Dr said oh yea the biopsy picked that up, I was prescribed something I can't remember but didn't take because I sort of worked out that insoluble fibre for me was bad bad . Consequently iv tried to manage it myself. So, now I find out Microscopic Colitis commonly found with Celiac , Celiac association with Autoimmune thyroid disease. Only because of Clutter and other people on here have I tried stopping Gluten. Also my dad was a Dubliner and Irish have higher incidence. Honestly my diet has been carb central bread toast pie and pizza, so only2 days of cutting out gluten and I can see my feet. The bloating that had made it difficult to enjoy any food, has dramatically gone. To the extent that Iv realised that overall iv lost weight. I felt so uncomfortable and fat but I'm actually ( after the most satisfactory small room visit) about1/2 stone down since cardiologist weighed me in January
