Since Hashis is an autoimmune disease and is attacking your body (a bit over zealous immune system), Hashis does not mean we are immunocompromised.
I have Celiac which is also an AI Disease. When I am gluten free, the body no longer attacks that particular part of the body. Being 100% gluten free IS my treatment/medication for Celiac.
With Hashis, I have found that I can put it in "remission, in a sense", by avoiding inflammatory foods (dairy, nightshades, grains, processed foods, simple carbs, sugar, legumes, seeds and nuts and eggs).
Like with Type 2 Diabetes, rather than depend on meds to keep your blood sugar balanced, a person would be better off changing their diet and take NO meds or a lot less.
So many people want to continue to eat whatever they want and just put a band aid on the symptoms. That makes no sense to me. To each their own. Respectfully.

That is exactly what I did to control my Hashimoto’s. I stopped eating Gluten, Dairy and Soy over 2 years ago when I was diagnosed. It was a learning experience and I read a great book by Isabella Wentz M.D. who suggested a food elimination. I just don’t eat it any more. I know for most people it would be difficult to do this, but for me it’s a little easier because I can’t taste or smell anything. I lost it with Covid in December of 2022, so easier, not easy. It’s depressing, but I’m learning how to deal with it. It’s like a death, the coping does get a little better. I don’t do bandaids either!
