Yes, I had the full thyroid panel run, but maybe it’s gluten. Can gluten intolerance just suddenly be a problem? It never has been for me before, but I have been having low iron in my blood work lately, not enough to cause anemia, PCP just said to up my intake of iron rich foods. But, again, she has a point. I don’t eat a lot of iron rich foods. I don’t have the brain fog though, just bad forgetfulnes. I have had the brain fog with severe fibromyalgia flares. Though I think low iron can also be a long term complication of ulcer surgery. And there are some vitamin/mineral absorptions affected by Protonix.
