flare ups/diet/leaky gut
What are the most common flare up triggers? Has anyone gone the nutrition route and had success? My primary is sending me to a nutritionist...leaky gut causing Hashimoto's?
Well, any food alergies that cause an inflamation response in the intestines can lead to 'leaky gut".
Some people with celiac do have leaky gut but the medical community just calls it realted symtpoms of celliac. And a lot of these people DONT have any thyroid issues.
Personally I remain nuetral on this subject.
Where the fault lies is in people that think that its there cause for thyroid antibodies, so it must be the same for all who have thyroid antibodies.
I'm sure in the future we will find several or more reasons for thyrioid antibodies.

You would think that it would be the other way around wouldn’t you?
That the thyroid issue, more specifically being hypo causing the slow metabolism and constipation and thus leading to inflammation and deterioration of the intestinal walls and thus causing the leaky gut and perhaps Celiac disease as an immune response to the inflammation?
Simple cause and effect… not the other way around.

Please understand that I am trying to condense a subject that is very controversial and can be, and has been, discussed forever. In doing so, I may be less that precise in my statements, but I believe the gist of what I say is correct.
There are some practitioners that say that thyroid antibodies are due to leaky gut syndrome and Celiac disease. We have yet to see or find any scientific data that would confirm those assertions. All evidence provided has been anecdotal, not scientific studies.
From doing a lot of reading on this, I am concerned that the main objective of the people promoting this idea is money. They promote a lot of testing and then want to convince you to take lots of expensive supplements, that only they seem to sell. Mark me down as a skeptic.
Also something you should be aware of is that I have seen no claims that thyroid function would be returned to original. The claim was that antibodies would be reduced or eliminated, by their regimen and supplements. So my understanding was that if you have had Hashi's for a while and already have damage to the thyroid gland, then you are still going to have to take thyroid meds. So even if their approach worked, it then becomes a matter of how much damage was already done to the thyroid gland and how much thyroid med is thus required.
