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!
