Latest thyroid results 3.2, I have been 25mg Thyroxine for 6 weeks. Do I continue taking this amount or do I push to have it increased, symptoms not as bad as before diagnosed with Hashimoto but am still jot back to 100%

100% gluten-free diet may improve Hashimoto's symptoms and reduce antibodies.
