Lots of nuts and nut butters and olive and coconut oil. Point is gluten free for 13 days and no change in Fibro aches and pains. Do u find when u wake in the morning getting out of bed and up is difficult and so painful, legs arms body hurt so much...?

Have you tried a GFCF (gluten-free, cassein free) diet? I went on one primarily because I wanted to try it with my boys who have autism spectrum issues. I found that it helped my fibro symptoms. It can be hard and expensive to follow but may be worth it for you. I was on Lyrica for a few days and have had asthma ever since. You may want to check out http://www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/threads/lyrica-lawsuit-D77155.htm or the Lyrica Survivors group on Facebook.

I had a two biopsies via a colonoscopy and the results were negative. Mind you I had been on a gluten free diet for a month, and know now I should have stayed on the gluten to prove a point. There is no evidence to show anti-bodies from one disease will affect the outcome of another. Hashimoto's has a sneaky way of producing many other auto-immune diseases along its wonderful journey through the body.

I have experience of living gluten dairy free as my boys are both autistic and the oldest one was gluten dairy msg free for about a year it didn't really help very much and as he was a faddy eater we went back to a normal healthy diet. I didn't find it too much if a hassle to Follow this diet I cook most things from scratch anyway and just found a few changes were needed. I guess I just need to cut out gluten and see how it goes.

Complaints of fatigue and joint pains are,unfortunately, very common. fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by muscular aches and pains, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. It is much more common in women, and it can be debilitating. Many conventional medical doctors do not think that fibromyalgia exists. In fact, many patients who believe they have this condition are often derided by their doctors.

I have had this for the last few years. Last summer, I decided I needed to lose weight and, on the advice of a friend who'd lost weight,I tried avoiding wheat. I didn't go full-on gluten free, or anything. Those foods marked "gluten free" almost always have way too many ingredients from the laboratory to be healthy, in my opinion. Anyway, for four months I stopped eating breads, pasta, crackers, cereals, etc...

When already taking thyroid med, TSH is basically a useless test; however, both your Free T3 and free T4 are over their ranges. That is too much med. Many members say that hypo symptom relief required Free T3 in the upper part of its range and Free T4 at the middle of its range, at minimum. The objective of treatment is to relieve hypo symptoms, and get the patient to a euthyroid state, which means having neither hypo nor hyper symptoms. So obviously your med needs to be decreased.

I used to have people drive for me as well, because the pain would get so intense. In 2008, I met a herbologist who told me to go gluten free. I went gluten free and immediately started noticing a huge difference!! I took a few months but the pain eventually went COMPLETELY away!! I'm still gluten free to thist day. I hope you find a cure for your pain!

Imagine a life in which your favorite comfort foods, such as pasta, bread, cereal and cookies, could cause you to become violently ill. This is reality for an estimated 3 million Americans who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that involves a severe reaction to foods containing gluten. Growing awareness of the condition, combined with consumer demand, has brought an increasing number of gluten-free products to store shelves in recent years.

Also, different countries have different labelling standards and some places, even developed countries like the UK, can label certain items as gluten-free where other countries do not consider them to be gluten-free. Be aware as well that some of your medications may be gluten-contaminated. You'll either have to consult with your pharmacist or call the companies directly to be sure.

I have done some reading where some people are getting relief with a gluten free or even a vegan or dairy free diet (try reading the Lupus Recovery diet - has good case studies for those with fibromyalgia as well). It is important that she do some light exercise but never to the point of exhaustian and if her pain get higher take it easy. It took me a while to learn this. I get on my eliptical daily and started with just 5 minutes at a time.

re already eating mostly gluten free unless all you eat is bread and pasta. And pasta is readily available made out of gluten-free grains, unlike bread, which is quite different gluten-free. In other words, using brown rice is still using brown rice. Spices still taste the same. You're just switching grains, not everything.

Luckily many grocery stores around me carry gluten free foods and there is a strict gluten free/dairy free/vegan bakery close by if I get a sweet tooth.

That way if there if there is something more going on they can treat her for it, or if it is Fibromyalgia they can diagnose it and treat her for that. Keep us posted and if you have more questions feel free to ask!

Before changing any child's diet, you really need to consult their pediatrician. This diet thing would probably work for kids who have allergies to wheat and milk. So, get your child allergy tested. I have read that this diet works for some autistic kids, but they have allergies to this stuff. If your child doesn't have allergies to this stuff, you are removing important nutrition from his diet!!! That's what our pediatrician told us.

I have celiac and have read on the gluten free/celiac forums people who were cleared of all symptoms, many similar to yours, by going gluten free. I am sorry if this is repeat info. I have never ever posted on boards like this before but something about your post made me need to. I hope you're doing better!

I know this is old but was this ever resolved? In June 2015 I went from Tirosint to Naturethroid & went gluten free to try to get some weight loss. Within 10 days I had muscle twitch all over and started muscle pain ( or tendon pain maybe) in arms and legs and had cubital tunnel symptoms. I kept raising my dose and stuck with it until October. I switched back to Tirosint & my tsh of 10 in October went back to normal by December & frees are optimal but my symptoms persist. Thyroid?

Hi, I have been told that I have Fibromyalgia and that massages will help, I have also tried a gluten free diet with no significant improvement. I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Hemochromatosis(high iron stores) i give blood regularly for the Hemochromatosis. i take Plaquenil tablets (of 200 mg), and Endep (of 25 mg) for inflammation has anyone else got any other ideas, i have constant pain. thanks.

Antibody titers (dilutions) are found to parallel morphological changes in the jejunum and can also be used to reflect compliance with gluten-free diets. Titers decrease or become negative in patients on gluten free diets and reappear upon gluten challenge. The test for anti-endomysial antibodies is more subjective and more complicated for the lab to perform than the anti-gliadin assays. It involves serially diluting some of the patients serum, that is, diluting it by ½ then ¼, 1/8, 1/16, etc.

They are wonderful for feet-- mine has helped me a ton. Also have you looked into a gluten free diet for your fibro, (also get your thyroid and free T3 checked because they are learning that T3 resistance and fibro go together. If the doctor tells you it is in range-- get the actual results because they are learning the ranges are wrong.) I know someone who has been able to control her symptoms of fibro using a gluten free diet. This person also has T3 resistance.

A good thyroid doctor will treat a hypo patient clinically by testing and adjusting Free T3 and Free T4 as necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels. Symptom relief should be all important, not just test results. You can get some good insight from this letter written by a good thyroid doctor for patients that he sometimes consults with from a distance. The letter is then sent to the PCP of the patient to help guide treatment.

Screening for coeliac disease was done by means of IgA anti-endomysium antibodies, detected by indirect immunofluorescence on monkey oesophagus. Patients with positive sera underwent duodenal biopsy for diagnostic confirmation. Thyroid function was assessed by measuring the levels of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T3, free T4, thyroperoxidase and thyroid microsome antibodies. Autoimmune thyroid diseases were classified according to the American Thyroid Association guidelines.
