Hi
Although my thyroid antibodies have never been over range on all the occasions I have had them tested, they do tend to be high in range on some of the tests.
As we are all aware the TSH range is too wide, so could the range for antibodies also be too wide, and I do actually have hashi's.
When I was first diagnosed hypo. February 2011
NHS test. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 50 range 0 - 75
May 2017 Medichecks test.
THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODY 95.770 IU/mL 0.00 - 115.00
THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES 32.02 IU/mL 0.00 - 34.00
November 2017 NHS test.
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 8 range 0 - 75
December 2017 Medichecks test.
THYROIDGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES 103 range 0 - 115
THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES 20.8 range 0 - 34.00
I did go gluten free for ten weeks August/September, so wonder if this could account for the drop in Peroxidase AB's in November, having said that I was eating gluten again for a few weeks before the November test.
I am wondering if I should try gluten free again.
Apologise for some capitals, these results were copied and pasted.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you.
