Eating

gluten increases the need for thyroid hormones

A new study shows

Hashimoto's patients with symptomless celiac disease (i.e., no digestive

complaints) require 49 percent more T4 to achieve the same TSH levels as

non-celiac Hashimoto's patients.

Eleven months on a gluten-free diet brought their TSH levels

down with the same T4 requirement as the non-celiac Hashimoto's patients.

Gluten sensitivity linked with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism

This is yet another study that demonstrates the clinical

association between gluten sensitivity and Hashimoto's

hypothyroidism. It is very rare to find a person with Hashimoto's who

does not have some degree of gluten sensitivity or full-blown celiac

disease.

Read more about why gluten is such a bad idea for a person

with Hashimoto's, and why standard tests for gluten sensitivity are

frequently inaccurate.
