If thyroid is removed, then hormone replacement therapy is needed. Synthroid is commonly prescribed. Otherwise, there will be symptoms of hypothyroidism, like gut malabsorption, fatigue, brain fog, etc.

@altabiznet Yes, I should have included that info with my question. Once thyroid replacement is done, are there other impacts from having Hashimoto's? Since it's an autoimmune disease, does it still affect the body in any way? My family has a history of autoimmune diseases (possible RA, Sjogren's, Sarcoidosis, HLA-B27+, etc.) and my daughter is experiencing symptoms although her thyroid has been removed and she's on replacement hormones.
