I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism in November of 2022 before contracting Covid. I started off taking 125 mcg of Synthroid with 5 mcg of Cytomel. That worked great for a while and then it was too much medicine, so I went on a lower dose of Synthroid and went off the Cytomel. I then read a book by Dr. Isabella Wentz and she suffers from the same autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s. She suggests going gluten, dairy and soy free to minimize body inflammation. Guess what? It works! I have been gluten, dairy and soy free for about 2 years and the body inflammation has disappeared. It does work. The medication, Synthroid is to treat my Hypothyroidism, not Hashimoto’s. There is no medication for Hashimoto’s, other than eliminating certain foods, as I’ve mentioned. I also lost my taste and smell in December of 2022 due to Covid! It’s now May 2025 and I still don’t have it back! Long Covid is what they tell me. Eating to live is the way I roll, but I wouldn’t recommend it! Try the elimination of gluten, dairy and soy. Your joints will thank you! Think about it, glu(ten), there is the word glue in it!
