Diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, on no prescribed meds!

Has your doctor told you that there is not a medication for Hashimoto’s? I also suffer from this and have turned it around by eliminating gluten, dairy, soy and seed oils. These foods are highly inflammatory and will cause your body to become inflamed, if you have Hashimoto’s. It has worked for me. Try eating whole foods, nothing from a package as preservatives are not good. I also have Hypothyroidism, for which I was prescribed Synthroid and my numbers are looking pretty good now. I took my TPO Antibodies from 600 into the 60’s by doing this.

For oils, we use olive oil mostly. Soy, I believe some of my gluten free frozen meals may have soy in them. I will start looking for that and avoiding soy. I will avoid the seed oils also. Thanks for the advice! I already am gluten free and dairy free way before now. I mostly eat salads, soups, rice, meat dishes and veggies. Occasionally, I get a frozen gf/df frozen meal Amy's from the grocery store or a pizza order out for a gf one and df cheese. Occasionally, I will get the pasta boxes, gf for mac and cheese. I can always improve on my eating. It could be the food I am eating, however it could be other things also. I already have problems with my immune system. My antibodies don't work like others do. It takes me a long time to heal. That is why I get infusions to put people's antibodies inside of me. I take Selenium, Vitamin K, Zinc, Multi vitamin and other B vitamins.

My sister has Hashimoto's and is on thyroids med for it, don't know what type. Her Naturopath told her to eliminate gluten, my sister said "Hell NO!!".
I have read it is not uncommon for women with thyroid disease to develop Interstitial cystitis which is a chronic condition causing bladder pressure, bladder pain and sometimes pelvic pain.
Her bladder has produced so much scar tissue from this disease that she has an urge to pee @ 4oz of fluid in the bladder. She has taken to wearing Adult diapers when traveling as stopping for 4oz of pee gets to be too frequent and inconvenient.
The bladder scarring process took about 20+years to develop.
She finally gave up alcohol as it acidifies the bladder and irritates it, but gluten is still in her diet. I know this tale will not apply to everyone but thought someone might benefit from being proactive and changing their diet for enhanced long term health.
