What is the relationship between hypothyroidism and wheat allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autoimmune causes: Many types of hypothyroidism are autoimmune in origin, meaning the body mistakes thyroid gland cells for something foreign and destroys it. Sometimes this autoimmune response is t felt to be triggered by allergies - whether to a food such as wheat, or environmental allergies. Other times, the response is felt to follow certain viral illnesses, much as Type 1 diabetes does. So MAYBE wheat involved.

I saw that hypothyroidism does NOT cause food sensitives/allergies, but what about the other way around? I've read articles that say you can away from certain foods but can that exacerbate the thyroid issue if you have food allergies/sensitivities?
