Celiac Disease: A Precursor to Fibromyalgia and Thyroid Dysfunction

Dr. Chris Heimlich DC, DACNB, Phoenix Metro Area Thyroid Doctor Comments On The Connection Between Celiac Disease and Thyroid Dysfunction …

So what do we know for sure? As early as 2003, the Celiac Disease Center at the University of Chicago reported some startling numbers regarding the prevalence of Celiac disease in America. A fact sheet distributed by the center made the claim that Celiac disease affects approximately one percent of healthy, average Americans. That means as many as 3 million people in the United States are living with Celiac disease. Of those 3 million, more than 90 percent of sufferers remain undiagnosed, attributing their chronic pain, intestinal irritability and bowel issues to something other than Celiac disease, fibromyalgia or thyroid maladies.

There are more than two hundred signs and symptoms associated with Celiac Disease. Keep in mind that the disease may have no symptoms at all. The symptoms may or may not cause digestive dysfunction.

Up to 60% of children and 41% of adults with celiac disease may be asymptomatic.

Here is a list of a few common symptoms associated with Celiac Disease:

1. Recurring abdominal cramps, gas and bloating

2. Chronic diarrhea

3. Vomiting

4. Liver and gallbladder dysfunction

5. Fatigue

6. Weight loss

7. Greasy, gray or tan, foul-smelling stools

8. Anemia (iron-deficiency that does not respond to treatment and B12 deficiency)

9. Skin rash

10. Stunted growth in children (delayed puberty)

11. Osteopenia or osteoporosis

12. Infertility (recurrent miscarriage)

13. Amenorrhea

14. Sores in the mouth

15. Peripheral neuropathy

16. Anxiety/depression

17. Joint pain

18. Fluid retention

19. Bruising easily

Luckily, several advancements in these specific areas of digestive medicine have been made, and a variety of treatment and testing options are now available to those who want to address their pain.

You can have a blood test or biopsy come up negative and still have Celiac Disease.  Genetic testing is available and affordable.
In today’s world, patients are required to take charge of their own health. Only with the guidance, support and knowledge of a medical team that understands the underlying issues can patients truly begin to experience the benefits of modern medicine. Dr Heimlich can guide you to a new existence—one in which the sting of fibromyalgia and thyroid issues can be addressed or eliminated by first conquering what may be undiagnosed Celiac disease and the issues that so often accompany it.

Call us today and take your life back from the discomfort and distress of Celiac disease, fibromyalgia and thyroid complications.

One last thought,  a common misdiagnosis of celiac disease  is irritable bowel syndrome.

"I would recommend this to anyone that is having thyroid issues"

My name is Margie and I have been coming to Dr. Heimlich’s office for about two months now. And I have to say that I am seeing some significant results. I came here with feeling tired, sluggish; brain fog, light-headedness, dizziness, overweight, and I’ve seen results in all of those areas.

I am able to think clearer, I am able to get up from desk and not have any light headedness, have more energy and I can keep up with my children, which is huge for me, and get through my day and not feel so tired.

I was gone for five days, on vacation, and I was able to do the things that you recommended, even on vacation, and keep up with my children, which was at amusement parks, beach, all that kind of stuff. In the past I would have been very tired and needed caffeine to get through it and not anymore.

My coworkers are noticing more color, more vibrancy, and I look less sluggish to them as well. Yes, the mental fog, the unclear thinking, just always needed caffeine to get rid of that and not anymore, it’s gone. Which is wonderful.

I would recommend it to anyone that is having those same issues. Sometimes had spots or blurry vision, but that has stopped now as well.
