Hey - just thought I would throw this out there for anyone who is interested and has Hashi's
I was diagnosed with Hashi's in 11/06 and put on Armour (I feel great on Armour and would never ever switch to synthetic synthroid)...anyways, 6 months ago I went 100% wheat/gluten free diet and my antibodies are almost in normal level - I have actually been able to REVERSE hypothyroidism!! There is a huge connection between Hashi's and wheat/gluten - would also suggest to people who feel like crap on all of these posts to switch to ARMOUR
Antithyroglobulin ab in 11/07 were 587
Antithyroglobuin ab in 6/08 now are 111
ref range (0-40 normal)
Anti TPO ab in 11/07 were 33
Anti TP ab in 6/08 are now 21
ref range (0-34 normal)

Thanks for the post. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism but no further investigation of Hashimoto's or Grave's. A nutritionist put me on a gluten free diet based on blood type and other symptoms and most of my "symptoms" cleared up - but we couldn't prove if it was the GF diet or the synthroid. Now with your info I am going to do some further investigation! Thank you.

Hi,
I have hashi's and just started a GF diet. (and I hate it :(. )
Can I ask if you were able to reduce you dose of Armour as your antibodies decreased?
August 12, 2008 - 11:17pmI have had hashis for 12 years have taken 150mg Thyroxine for years. Have gone wheat/gluten free for the last three months and am now taking 50mg Thyroxine am looking at reducing it more after discussing with my GP.
August 9, 2010 - 12:52pm12 years ago I was diagnosed with Hash's disease. I took synthroid, levathroid and cytomel for 5 years. always changing my scrip..very frustrating. I lost about 30 lbs at first,then after about 4 years it seemed that the meds quit working all together. I moved across the U.S. and after a year had blood work done. All my results were normal. I am now 7 years without meds and still achy muscles, fatigue, force myself to exersize, diet constantly and still feel bad, not as bad as 12 years ago, but not normal. I just went to the doctor and had the blood work done and came back normal. Should I just try the gluten diet since my results are in normal range (though the T3 free is almost at the top end)? I am out of options :-(
