I was just curious to know whether cold hands and feet (Raynaud's) is a symptom of Celiac disease. I know it is a symptom of autoimmune thyroid disease, so wondered, since Celiac is also an autoimmune condition, whether it would be a symptom of that, too.
In the winter, I just can't get my hands and feet to warm up. Sometimes my fingernails actually turn blue. I work in an office and sometimes just typing is a challenge. I was tested for thyroid disease a couple of years ago and everything was normal.
Just wondering. Thanks!
Oh, just to add, when I was first diagnosed with IBS I don't remember if I had a test for Celiac or not. It was 12 years ago and I went to the doctor so many damn times I don't remember what they did and didn't check for anymore.

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
