A member asked:
For hypothyroidism should i avoid gluten?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, yes, yes: For general health, i recommend to pts to follow a diet that is naturally gluten free. For my pts with hypothyroidism, it is highly recommended. If you look it up, it will be explained that the gut, digestion has a great deal to do with hypothyroidism. Also try to avoid dairy, take some vitamins, exercise and lessen your stress. Hope this helps.

Yes in some cases: When associated with autoimmune diseases, celiac disease ( gluten intolerance ) iodine will play a role in 10%-15% then reduced intake of gluten will help absorption of i and reduces incidence of dermatitis. May not be true in all cases speak to you doctor.
