There are thyroxin replacements like Synthroid (levothyroxine), liothyronine for T3, and/or Armour or other meds that are from desiccated thyroids from mostly pigs. Mine was likely caused by whiplash from a distracted driver 25 years ago, but also could be associated with my celiac. Whatever meds (natural or synthetic), best to take them a few hours away from eating (a lot of foods interact and interfere with absorption).

Celiac and Hashimoto's are usually found together. My daughter and I have both. Gluten is not good for Hashis anyway.
Some people do not convert T4 to T3 and therefore need both. Synthroid made me feel worse. Armour did not work either. I've been taking Tirosint (the purest form of T4) and generic T3 for several years now with great results. You definitely need proper labs drawn and a competent doctor to decipher them.

Always take your T4 an hour away from meals. I take mine first thing in the morning. I take my T3 split (2PM and 6PM)
