Not per se: Hi. Gluten, milk, and soy are not dangerous for Hashimoto's patients per se. If one has celiac disease (another autoimmune disease), gluten must be avoided. If one has lactose intolerance, milk should be avoided (or else people will smell your approach!). If one has soy allergy, soy must be avoided. But simply having Hashimoto's doesn't make any of those foods dangerous. Live healthily!

Gluten, if celiac dz: There's an association between celiac disease &autoimmune thyroid dz(eg:Hashimoto's).Celiac disease is an inherited intolerance to proteins in wheat,rye,&barley (glutens);get abnormal immune system activation.Symptoms can include smelly, floating stool, gas, weight loss, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, osteoporosis/easy fractures, more. Ask doc before trying gluten free diet-it's quite restrictive.
