It's possibly a leaky gut issue and something we're working on healing but flare ups are debilitating if we eat those things. Neither of us are celiac either. I think it just depends on the individual how your body responds and a simple elimination diet can tell you what you might benefit from avoiding. Autoimmune diseases frequently go hand in hand with food intolerance and inflammation.
Leaky gut isn't a real thing. It's not recognized by the medical community.0 -
Leaky gut may or may not be real. But food allergies and intolerances most definitely are. And it's fact that Hashimoto's patients are at a much higher risk of having and allergy or intolerance to gluten. So in my opinion if you have Hashi's, it's worth at least trying it and seeing how you feel.0

I have Hashimoto's and 4 other metabolic diseases. I have lost/maintained 90+ pounds.
I eat a moderate carb diet and move a LOT. Of course it is harder when you have medical challenges, but it is certainly doable.0 -
Thanks all.....I don't plan on buying gluten free much because of cost and everything you all have said about it. I agree with the marketing scam. I hope to go naturally gluten free like you saratobin_. I realize that it is not imperitive, like with celiac, but there is a definate link between gluten and Hashi as far as sensitivity and i am sure from reading, that not everyone will have the sensitivity...just like thyroid issues in general, it is very independent of the person and their health. I will give it a try, not much to lose but weight.0
