"I'm sure the antibodies would start munching away again." If it took 45 yrs for the antibodies to destroy my thyroid the first time, I probably wouldn't have to worry about it a second time, because I don't plan on being around 45 yrs from now........LOL
Agree about the gluten free issue.
I'm sure the antibodies would start munching away again.
On the other hand- This could give a chance for the hard core gluten free crowd to see if gluten really is responsible for the thyroid antibody attack in their case.
Maybe they can do a core exchange like they do for some high replacement auto parts LOL.
If we were only mice...
Jumping ahead: I assume this would not work in the case of autoimmune thyroid disease. Wouldn't the antibodies do to the replacement thyroid the exact same thing they did to the original?
