Hi yes will post thyroid results I thought I have Hashimotos. Is it worth being checked for coeliac

Over 90% of people with Hashimotos are gluten sensitive. Coeliac testing in the UK is far from perfect. I would try giving up gluten and see how you feel. Gluten molecules can stick to the bowel lining and create inflammation and then microscopic holes in the bowel lining - leading to Leaky gut Syndrome.

Most people with Hashimotos have LOW stomach acid which can affect the uptake of supplements and vitamins in food ...

Have you been tested for B12 - Folate - Ferritin - VitD ???
