DHEA 859 high

Saliva test showed low Cortisol levels particularly AM

T3 4.0 (3.1-6.8)

Tsh 5.08 (0.27-4.20)

T4 19.3 (12-22)

Ferritin now 69.5 (13-150)

Couldn't see any folate test result in recent posts or your profile

Your vitamin D is still too low. 2000iu may not be high enough dose

Are you supplementing magnesium too?

Have you had coeliac blood test yet?

Going absolutely strictly gluten free can help improve adrenals

According to Izabella Wentz the Thyroid Pharmacist approx 5% with Hashimoto's are coeliac, but over 80% find gluten free diet helps, sometimes significantly. Either due to direct gluten intolerance (no test available) or due to leaky gut and gluten causing molecular mimicry (see Amy Myers link)

Many, many of us test negative for coeliac but are gluten intolerant

You can see thousands of posts on here about gluten free diet helping

What time of day was your blood taken? Your cortisol levels are high & probably needs further investigation. Being on an oestrogen, either contraceptive pill or HRY will cause cortisol to rise. Do you have any other symptoms like rapid weight gain especially around your tummy? Do you have trouble sleeping, acne on your face, high blood pressure? With a cortisol level that high you need to look at why it is high but don't start any supplements until you have been further tested.

Not what you're looking for?
