How do I get tested for Hashinotos disease?

[Magsb80]

I have now been on medication for Hypothyroidism for over 1 year (currently on 125mg of Levo)

Recently diagnosed with Ulceratibe Colitis and had psoriasis since a child yet my doctor and Endo said ‘antibodies don’t mean anything’

I disagree with what I’ve read!!

To get tested for Hashi's you need the following antibody tests:

Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO)

Thyroglobulin (Tg)

If your doctor wont do them, and most doctors think antibodies aren't important, then you can get them tested privately with one of our recommended labs.

There is no treatment for Hashi's, it's just the resulting hypothyroidism that's treated. But some people find that a gluten free diet helps, but it's not guaranteed. Also supplementing with selenium l-selenomethionine 200mcg daily can help reduce the antibodies
