I have commented on this discussion before, but I want to tell you that I agree with you. I have recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyhroidism. I now take 75 mcg of Synthroid to control my Hypothyroidism and have eliminated eating gluten, dairy and soy from my diet due to Hashimoto’s. It has been a life saver for me. I no longer carry so much bloat and inflammation in my body due to this diet. It does work!
