Hashimoto's Disease

My daughter-in law has Hashimoto's, well controlled by thyroid medication. She's been doing the gluten-free thing for over a year and it hasn't made any difference in her thyroid activity/levels of meds required.

There doesn't seem to be much science related to the gluten connection- but maybe the Docs that are urging their patients to try going off it are doing "field research".

It isn't taking the pill that bothers me so much as the "monitoring". I am a true needle phobe. Heart rate skyrockets just looking at a needle.

There probably is an element of field research... I feel like a lab rat sometimes!
