Wow! Who would have thought?

Here it is May 16, 2010 and I have been on a gluten free diet for 9days now!! I went to see a compounding pharmicist a little of a week ago to discuss some lab work that I had done through her. Well the results weren't all that great. I make little testosterone and little progesterone, but the most interesting thing was that she looked at some labs that I had done about a year ago and found that I am anemic. Now why was I told otherwise?!?!?!? My thyroid levels aren't right either. Anyway with a little discussion she determined that I needed some more lab work done before she decided how to treat anything. Soooo now I am waiting to hear from my nurse practitioner so that I can get the rest of these labs done.

But here is the kicker. The Pharmicist asked if I had thought about going on a gluten free diet. Hmm! Well come to find out she is thinking that I have an autoimmune thyroid and gluten allergies goes along with that idea. Wow! That was a lot to take in, but I decided I was willing to try just about anything so I walked out of her office gluten free. I haven't touched it since. Within 24 hours I was feeling better and as the week has gone on I am feeling pretty good. I am still tired and a little achey but I am not nearly as foggy brained as I had been and I am functioning at a somewhat normal level.

I feel that we may be coming to some conclusions on what I have going on!! Hopefully this next set of labs will give us more answers. In the meantime I am learning as much as I can about a gluten free diet.
