Thank you for your response, but as a medical provider, you should know then that you can also have Hashimoto’s without Hypo or Hyperthyroidism. That is why I responded the way I did. I thought the person had only Hashimoto’s and I was told by my endocrinologist that there is not a medication to control Hashimoto’s, but you can control it with diet, which I have.

Your Endocrinologist is correct. There is no medication to control Hashimotos because it is an autoimmune disorder. An autoimmune disorder is when the body goes beserk and attacks itself. However, hypothyroidism caused by Hasimotos can be treated with synthroid or other thyroid replacement hormones. It is highly unusual for the thyroid gland to NOT be affected by Hashimotos as it primarily affects the thyroid gland. Anything that you can do dietary wise to reduce the inflammatory response within the body is helpful, be that food choices, stress, rest, sleep, etc.
