Does anyone here have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis?

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s after going to several doctors for 2 years, so I totally relate. Staying away from sugar as much as possible has helped, as well as being gluten free and eating lots of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. I take 50 mcg of LEVOTHYROXINE every morning for associated hypothyroidism, which seems to help. I still have to sleep at least 9 hours per night to feel rested, plus a short nap in the afternoon…

@lkhorton01 we sound very similar in experiences. I also take 50 mg a day of Levothyroxine. I was just starting a gluten free diet when I had another bowel obstruction 2 weeks ago. After it cleared I was advised to go on a bland diet, which was another dietary challenge. So, one day at a time, I am slowly working my way to finding what works best for me. I do know that diet has a direct impact on diminishing Hashimoto’s symptoms.
