Hello

[Giulia12]

I want to ask if after taking the road of gluten free and optimising vitamins level, has anyone seen their thyroid levels improved, was anyone able to get off the medication?

Giulia12 'was anyone able to get off the medication?'

If your thyroid gland is unable to produce the hormones you need, going gluten free and optimising vitamins levels may certainly help you to feel better, but it won't miraculously heal the thyroid gland itself. Usually, you will need to take replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of your life.

Coming off thyroid hormone replacement is not why people optimise thier nutrients or go gluten-free.

People with Hashi's are very often gluten-sensitive, so going gluten-free relieves some of their symptoms. It has no effect on the thyroid itself.

Nutrients are usually low in those that are hypo because of the low stomach acid making it difficult for them to digest food and absorb nutrients. But you need optimal nutrient levels for your body to be able to use the hormone you're giving it. But optimal nutrient levels cannot heal a sick thyroid.

Thyroids cannot regenerate. So, thyroid hormone replacement is for life.

Hello, no disrespect, but I do not believe that there are incurable diseases in this world. I know people who are off the medication and they are just fine. I myself found lots of solutions (no cost) to clear some of the symptoms that I encountered along the road. Thank you for the information.

No disrespect but a lot of the time there is a huge gap between what we believe and what is real. And it can't escape your notice that you have not been inundated by positive replies on this thread.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
