T3 and low carb/gluten free diet results

[George1962]

Hello all, I have hashimotos which has probably been niggling for a few years but I was diagnosed a year ago. I had many of the symptoms but it was the weight gain and exhaustion that bothered me the most. With the help and advice of lovely members on this forum I am now on T3 and started a low carb gluten free diet a month ago. My daughter has type 1 diabetes and wanted to try this diet as it is recommended for her condition as well as anyone with autoimmune conditions. I almost daren't congratulate myself yet but I tentatively say that there has been a shift in my wellbeing! I have more energy, I'm able to get through the day without sleeping, and have lost 18 pounds in one month! A miracle! I am less constipated, less bloated, puffiness round my eyes and in my hands and feet and ankles has gone! My carpal tunnel symptoms have calmed down and although it's early days and I have a long way to go I'm optimistic 😄.
