In today's article we are going to talk about the relationship between Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Gluten. I see many people with Tireoidite de Hashimoto say that the doctor ordered to remove the gluten of food. However, I don't see anyone following this recommendation, even knowing that it might have some effect positive.
Let's understand a little more why doctors give this recommendation and why it is so difficult to remove gluten from the diet..
A tireoidite de Hashimoto (TH) is autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to a chronic inflammation. The disease can cause hypothyroidism, so, a production insufficient of thyroid hormones. The main symptoms in this case are fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation and dry skin.
In the last years, a possible relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and gluten, a protein not present wheat, barley and rye. Many people with the disease have reported a improvement nos symptoms after adopting a gluten-free diet, and this has raised questions about the possible connection between the two.
Although there are still many unanswered questions, some studies indicate that there may be a relationship between the thyroiditis of Hashimoto and gluten. One survey found that even 5% of people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis also have celiac disease. Other study found that people with HT had a greater prevalence from antibodies against gluten than people without the disease.
In contrast, some studies found no association between the two, and many doctors believe that the elimination of gluten it's not necessary for all patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
However, many people with the disease reported a significant improvement in symptoms after adopting a gluten-free diet. Besides, other conditions autoimmune, like celiac disease, are associated with gluten, which suggests that there may be a connection between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and gluten.
If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and are considering gluten-free diet, it is important to discuss this with a doctor or nutritionist qualified. They can help assess your current diet and provide guidance on how to do it. healthy eating changes balanced diets that can help manage your symptoms.

after the hypothyroidism takes its shape irreversible, the use of thyroid hormone becomes compulsory for the rest of life. What is better? To spend money the rest of your life with an essential medicine and having to take it every day without fail, or do a diet for a few months that gives you the chance to reduce the autoimmune condition of the disease?
