Re: question about thyroid antibodies

[Guest guest]

I have not heard that antibodies pose any particular threat during PG

but thnen I ahve nto researched that either. HOW suppressed is your TSH?

MIne stays about .02 and usually my antibpdoes are undetactable, but

once in a while I will go a tad hypo and they are right back agian. Also

I =have heard that taking iodine can raise antibodies and Selenium is

said to help keep them down.

Going on a gluten free diet can reduce or eliminate thyroid

antibodies. Just by eliminating soybean oil out of her diet we were

able to cut my daughter's antibody level almost in half. Her's was

over 5000, the doctor called it astronomical.

- here's some of the info on research showing significant

reductions in thyroid antibodies when patients with autoimmune

thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) supplement with selenium:

>>HOW suppressed is your TSH? <<

It's been at 0.01 for almost 2 years. The only time I had my antibodies tested

during that time was recently, because my midwife had said something about them

being linked with miscarriage (after 5 healthy, live births.... I lost the next

3 out of 4 pregnancies). I had the antibodies tested because I wanted to see

if that could at all account for at least the last 2.

Do you have any links or resources for this? I've never heard that before, but

would be interested to follow up. I do try and stay away from soy. I don't use

any obvious soy products, though we all know how much they are in every

processed food! We don't eat lots of processed foods, but I'm sure some soy

still gets in my diet.
