Celiac Illness And Thyroid Considerations – Do They Go Hand-In-Hand Or Are They Separate?

Initially, I wished to assert hello! I am a newcomer right here (29f), pending my authentic analysis next week. Fingers crossed!

During my time between “let’s run the celiac test just to see” and “let’s schedule a biopsy”, I’ve done a LOT of reading and realized that this is the miracle diagnosis that I’ve needed for years.

I’ve read that thyroid issues and celiac sometimes go hand in hand. I have a lot of possible thyroid issue symptoms (fatigue, cold extremeties, facial flushing, excessive sweating, memory loss, no libido) but my TSH levels have always been within range. Actually, all CMP and CBC bloodwork has been in range the past two years. No blood testing prior – no Dr ever suggested it.

So my question is, if I get the celiac diagnosis, should I just give the diet time to work and see how many symptoms go away? When should I think about seeing an endocrinologist?

Is celiac the cause of thyroid issusaor vice versa? Are they separate?

Thanks everybody!
