Tips for Getting a Proper Diagnosis of an Autoimmune Disease

I too have Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. I have researched on my own and found that eliminating certain foods helps with that “off balance” feeling. I’ve eliminated gluten, dairy and soy and feel so much better. It also took the bloat away from my body. I find it so odd that your doctor’s wouldn’t tell you that. It really does make a difference, try it. You have to do your own research these days. Our doctors are not helping us…

Not only are they not helping, but they'll treat you like you are insane if you do anything (other than lose weight) to help yourself.
Someday, I will snap and say:
"Look, bud. If I believe that chicken I sacrificed is preventing additional eczema, dry eyes, joint pain, and hair & vision loss, I'm gonna keep sacrificing chickens. Not like you're offering me an alternative.
Oh, and I need a strand or two of your hair. Hold still."
🤣🤣🤣
But seriously, doctors are all so down on special diets, eliminating food intolerances, supplements, etc. If those things help and doctors don't, people are going to try them.
