I am a newbie too. I was diagnose with Graves disease 2 years ago and been trying to get everything under control since. I had my thyroid removed after many migraine headaches that lead to hospital stays and then a mini stroke.
I have 3 small children and had no time for this. In May of this year I was diagnose with TED. I am on synthroid 100mcg and for the most part feel 100 times better then I did. What I want are my eyes to get back to normal.
I have been reading a lot on Graves and Gluten free diets. My endo and I did a test 6 weeks gluten free and we took TSH blood test however the antibodies went up. My eyes decreased by one millimeter which is great but the antibodies are thru the roof.
Few questions: is there any evidence that GF diets really work and if does, do the antibodies need more time. This is a huge life style change and I want it to work. I feel so much better but I just am getting really frustrated.
