Over the last year, I get very cold right into my bones and I cannot get warm. i also have celiac disease. My sister has been diagnosed with Hashimotos and my father died of thyroid cancer 15 years ago.

Hi! Thank you for your question. Your description of your symptoms (dysguesia, weight gain, cold intolerance, period changes), together with your family history of thyroid disease, point to a probable thyroid problem. Please see a doctor so that he/she can examine you and run the tests as soon as possible. I hope you feel better soon!
