Hashimoto's and gut

[LifeintheMed]

Hi there,

I have really sluggish digestion that's been getting worse and now I realise I have Hashi's it's starting to make sense. I've also discovered from this forum that we often have low stomach acidity and I'd like to understand more about this...how do we find out if that's definitely something true for us, are there are research papers out there on this? I'd like to find out more so that I can hopefully sort out my gut...

Oh and I'm not gluten free yet as I'm waiitng to get my tests for coeliac etc

With Hashimotos you can be gluten sensitive - also dairy.

Izabella Wentz - on-line - may have the info you are seeking

To find out if you have low stomach acid, try the burp test:

Ooh thanks!

Ah they mention bitters! I'm a trainee herbalist so was thinking I'd rather do bitters than anything else - this reassures me!
