Looking for UK endocrinologist

Hello,

I've recently been found to have antibodies for Coeliac disease after an over 5 year search for a diagnosis for my brain fog, joint pain, hair loss etc. While hopeful that continuing a gluten free diet will bring me relief, a lot of my symptoms resemble hypothyroidism, which is common in people with Coeliac disease. I want to make sure I rule this out.

I would appreciate recommendations (I think they have to be via PM due to forum rules) of top UK endocrinologists who specialise in thyroid issues and have helped you, or are well regarded here. I would like someone who is prepared to do all the tests required to rule out/in thyroid issues. For example, I saw someone mention a Prof at Bart's who was determined to work out what was going on for them. This sounds perfect, but I couldn't get their name?

Thank you all for any help.

It might be worth you doing your own thyroid/vitamin panel first which would show if there is a thyroid issue.

As for recommendations of an endo, we can't discuss this on the forum so I will turn off replies and if anyone can help they will send you a private message.

You can send for the list of thyroid friendly endos from ThyroidUK:
