My heart goes out to you and your daughter. I have quite a severe form of Hashimoto’s. Yet my TSH was normal and I have no antibodies. I’ve tested negative for antibodies several times. It’s a supplement called Before you buy it and start taking it, please consult you doctor to make sure it doesn’t interfere with any medications/supplements you’re already on, or with any medical condition you may have.I can say that I really do believe it’s helping me; the burning in my stomach is practically gone.But… that doesn’t give me a license to eat whatever I want!

Please, understand that due to liability issues, I am unable to answer specific medical questions.I highly recommend that you work with a functional medicine clinician. My doctor didn’t think it was a big deal, and none of my friends or co-workers had it.

And I only have a little wine on the weekends, if we go out to eat.(Stress? I'm currently working on some protocols to help with tissue regeneration.Reversing Hashimoto's means different things to different people. Should I continue to push for answers or should I just resign myself to reading internet posts and messing with my diet to find what works?Jennifer – thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your journey. You want someone that can guide you, that will also listen to you and your concerns. Many people will have their thyroids removed, and will develop new autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. I have the lupus anticoagulant antibody and I have Chiari to deal with.

They need constant “reminders” in the form of an antigen so that their production continues.

Make sure to request a copy of your labs as well.

Some individuals, however, will continue to be antibody negative.In the world of conventional medicine, this stage is controversial in terms of treatment. Press J to jump to the feed. With the exception of discussing proper thyroid medication dosing, the majority of my website and my book focuses on balancing the immune system. He would tell you he had no symptoms, but I felt he was abnormally tired and wanted to sleep too much. I started these tablets and started feeling completely well after a month. Did you know that reactive foods trigger an inflammatory response in the GI tract, leading to malabsorption of nutrients (gluten sensitivity, in particular, has been implicated in causing a Selenium deficiency, a well-known risk factor for Hashimoto’s), and can also produce intestinal permeability whenever they are eaten?Most people will see a dramatic reduction in gut symptoms, brain symptoms, skin breakouts, and pain by eliminating the foods they are sensitive to. It was like, I used to get up and do a fast pace workout for 45 minutes; then rush to work and work for 9 hrs; then come back and give some tuitions for my friends; and also parallely learn German. She put me on the lowest dose of Armour and it did seem to let me rest a little better and I had a little more energy, but that is all.
