Hashimoto auto-immune disease, high anti-bodies

[Guest guest]

You 'chat' to the group through writing messages and other

members will write back their response. The CHAT facility on this forum that

you find in the Menu on the Home Page is rarely used as you need to make an

'appointment' with whoevever wants to CHAT with you, so you need to agree

this with somebody and choose a good time that suits you both (all). Any

questions you have got, just ask away …and welcome to our forum where I

am sure you will get all the help and support you need.

What chat are you speaking of?

This first book on the list talks greatly about Hashi's....just click on it and

it will take you to the reader. This may answer some of your questions and it's

good to have a link to save to your computer for the future.

Hi , we have information on our own TPA forum here in the

FILES SECTION accessible from the Home Page Menu, thyroid treatment

as well as the information in our web site. All our FOLDERS in this FILES section

are listed alphabetically and easy to access.

Hi ,

I have Hashimoto's disease.

I have managed to get my anti-bodies down with a

mixture of a gluten free diet and the Iodine Protocol (www.optimox.com go to the iodine research

page).

I take T3 and have done T3 therapy to get rid of my RT3.

You can find out how to take care of your adrenals on www.stopthethyroidmadness.com.

Sheila has also compiled a mass of information on the TPA UK

web site that you can have a look at. If you belong to this group I

believe you can get a 10% discount on private testing at Genova Diagnostics in

New Malden.

The majority of sufferers of the symptoms of hypothyroidism have

thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto's disease). Hashimoto's is a CAUSE of

hypothyroidism but the treatment for all forms (whatever the cause) are the

same as any other cause. I will send you a list of our recommended doctors

privately.

We often find that fibromyalgia is caused because the thyroxine

(the mainly inactive hormone) is not converting to the active thyroid hormone

T3. It is T3 every cell in your body and brain needs to make them function.

Once you get on the right therapy, the fibromyalgia should disappear, as it did

with me and as it has done for many of our members. Have you asked your GP to

test your thyroid function? Also ask your GP to test your levels of iron,

transferrin saturation%, vitamin D3, vitamin B12, folate, magnesium, copper and

zinc. Once you get these results, post them on the forum together with the

reference range for each of the tests done.

If you want these tests done privately, go to our FILES section

(accessible from the Home Page of this forum) thyroid treatment

and on the page that opens, scroll down to 'Discounts on Tests and Supplements'

and then open the file entitled 'Genova Diagnostics Ltd. and you can see the

different tests there with the discounted prices for TPA members.

In that folder, you should also check out the Nutri Ltd document

where you can get 33% discounts on all their supplements.

Diet wise, for Hashimoto's, it is recommended you go on a gluten

free diet because antibodies thrive on gluten. Cut off this source, and the

antibodies should decrease.

Any problems, just shout 1 (need to identify you

because we have a couple of other 's)

Apologies for joining in someone else’s discussion – but I have seen it mentioned a few times that a gluten-free diet can help when someone has antibodies for Hashimoto’s; could the gluten-free diet also be of help if a person has antibodies for hyperthyroidism e.g. as in Graves Disease?Many thanks.

Yes, gluten free diet should help. Antibodies apparently THRIVE

on gluten whatever the antibody is, so it would be a good idea to give it a go
