Thanks. biopsied for celiac diseased-no celiac (instead hiatial esophagus and autoimmune gastritis-so no stomach lining )
my back keeps on hurting and PT said muscles have been torn since am so weak  (last year i used to go to the gym and take classes three times or more a week and now many days I cannot get out of bed) i work 20 hours a week, so i can get some rest inbetween.  -i'm 46 and 142 pounds but now I feel like my grandma-i just need to rest a while--
I wake up from back pain and numb or tingly fingers.  ( i used to crochet but stopped since it made it worse)  
my eyes are dry with what they say is sjogren
and my fingers go white with raynauds syndrome
i have been doing iron infusions, just did 6th one two weeks ago and did a b12 shot so should be less tired..  but often my hashimoto thyrodis gets blamed for tired -and for tachychadia (heart rate around 120)  
skin autoimmune disease i'm thinking could benefit from no gluten or atleast no yeast.

Celiac disease can cause other autoimmune disesae.  Get tested.  Stopping gluten could halt and even reverse some of this.
