Thank you for a very informative post.  I always suspected that a body
can't start producing antibodies for no reason.  It's just confirmed it.
 Is there any research done about a link between Celiac Desease and
Thyroid disfunction?  If yes, I'd like to print it out and show it to my
doctor.  And one more thing.  I am allergic to candida (yeast) and I was
getting very bad case of thyroid pain after they did an allergy test and
after my first allergy shot.  My doctor said that my thyroid is related
to my yeast allergies, but I'm afraid to do more allergy shots because I
feel awful the next day. Any ideas as to why this is happening?  Any
thoughts will be appreciated.

Irene

Hi Stephanie,
Thyroid problems and your symptoms are directly related to Celiac
Disease
which is an intolerance to gluten containing grains: wheat, rye, barley
and
oats.
Remove these grains from your diet and your symptoms will disappear.
Search Celiac Disease and you will find the answer to your problems.
Scott's Celiac Pages is a good place to begin.
