They said a Mediterranean diet is good for reducing inflammation, and said if I wanted to see if a GF diet would work then that was fine. I’m just torn about it given how hard it is to be GF.

Sweetie, you aren’t alone and autoimmune issues are so mainstream that we need to know there is Graves Disease and hyperthyroidism just as Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. Two different animals: Hashimoto’s and Graves are AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

Some years ago I was also being evaluated at Mayo for GI autoimmune disorder. One part of the evaluation was eliminating certain foods and medications- one at a time for 4 weeks. This included gluten and dairy products.
No particular good elimination made a difference.
You could discuss food elimination with your Mayo health care team, getting practical advice on how to go about it. There are also blood tests that can pinpoint if you are allergic to certain foods.
