Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

First let me explain you the symptoms of hypothyroidism and gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance is a spectrum of disorders including celiac disease in which gluten has an adverse effect on the body. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, constipation, muscular disturbances, headaches, migraines, severe acne, fatigue and bone or joint pain, weight loss etc.

Hypothyroidism is disorder due to poor functioning of thyroid gland. Symptoms include fatigue, feeling cold, weight gain, poor concentration, tiredness, slow pulse rate etc.

Your symptoms would go in favor of hypothyroidism. Better to maintain your thyroid level and consult a endocrinologist for proper management.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.
