Intolerance

[MichelleMoore]

So I paid for a hair sample intolerance test and found I have very high reactions to the following

White flour

Wheat

Yeast

And egg whites

I thought this might be to with my thyroid is this possible ?

If you have Hashimoto's you could benefit from staying away from flour, wheat and yeast due to the gluten.

Some Hashi sufferers go gluten free and the gut feels the benefits.

You can also get these products gluten free.

What is your thyroid history? Any blood tests results you have can be posted and members can help too 😊

Everything I have read indicates that hair intolerance tests are scientifically invalid.

Thank you for letting me know that

Here's a short article from Trust Me I'm a Doctor but there are many more to be found with a search bbc.co.uk/programmes/articl...

It's important to be guided only by validated tests for reasons beyond simply wasting one's money - to avoid excluding foods unnecessarily (not that anyone would come to harm excluding white flour of course, but there may be other more beneficial/nutritious foods that wrongly show up on such tests); and perhaps more importantly, to avoid wrongly validating those foods as the cause of symptoms and thus not seeking a more accurate medical diagnosis of them.

It only comes up with things over 85% and the ones I said are 97% that I have had a reaction I work in as a phlebotomist and someone in the lab said there ok
