Hello, I’m back, needing to learn to eat again. Short story, my adult son was diagnosed coeliac (gene, antibodies, biopsy) and the rest of the family was tested too. I had the gene and the antibodies, but declined the biopsy...what would be the point, with those results I was hardly going to be eating gluten anyway. Also the tests showed a high TSH and Hashimotos antibodies. This was not a surprise, I had been suspecting Hashimotos for a while....usual symptoms.
So I am now effectively coeliac and diagnosed Hashimotos. I am on a 3 month trial to see if going gluten free controls the TSH, and if it doesn’t improve then I will take the drugs.
In New Zealand coeliac people don’t eat oats as well as no wheat, barley or rye. This is going to be a huge challenge for me as I eat porridge every morning and have been baking my own whole grain sourdough bread daily for the last 10 years or so.
Also, after not doing much with my running for the last year or so, I have entered a hard 30km trail race on my 57th birthday....October 13th....so I have to get out training as well.
Gluten free breakfast ideas gratefully received.....
