Hashimoto's or not?

[Val26]

Hi everyone, had the Thyroid Check + 12 blood tests with Blue Horizon in September 2016. It's showing up Anti-Thyroidperoxidase abs as High at 74.2 (<34) and Anti-Thyroglobulin Abs as Normal at 64.9 (<115). Any information about these results would be appreciated. Thank you in anticipation.

Val26,

High thyroid peroxidase antibodies means you have autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's).

There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

Isabell Wentz in the States that has carried out extensive research on Hashimotos and she is saying that if you find the root cause of the Hashimotors your thyroid function can be improved. She has also written books on the subjecdt. thyroidpharmacist.com

Val26,

While you might be able to reverse Hashimoto's if caught early enough you won't be able to reverse damage already done to the thyroid gland.
