Lowering antibodies

[Polly2501]

Just wondered if anyone has any tips on how to lower antibodies? I'm gluten free already. Thank you!

You can also try going dairy-free. Also I believe taking 200 mg of Selenium a day may help.

When I started to take selenium my antibodies dropped.

You need your TSH suppressed.

Thanks grey, my gp has agreed to another dose increase so hopefully that will bring my tsh down.

What is your TSH at the moment? And how much are you taking?

[Polly2501 in reply to greygoose]

My TSH is 2.28 (range 0.35 - 5.5) and i'm on 125 mcg, however the Doctor has increased me today to 150 mcg.

Your TSH is much too high for someone on thyroid hormone replacement. Normally, it should be one or under, but with antibodies, even lower. Not sure that increase will take it low enough, you will no doubt need another increase in six weeks time.
