Thank you for your reply. I have cut out gluten, next month I will cut dairy.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel somewhat better after cutting gluten and next month I will cut out dairy. I had to really push my doctor a few years back to test the (TSH, FT4, FT3) and the results were not conclusive. My endo did not seem to take much stock in this but he is also working in a pediatric office so perhaps not too many of this patients have Hashimotos. It seems to be an elusive condition and having Type 1 seems to take up all of our time and energy during doctor visits as that seems to present the most immediate problems.
I have LADA and Hashimotoâs. Read âStop the Thyroid Madnessâ. There is a great Hashimoto group on Facebook âThyroid Advocatesâ that has helped me. Weight gain, depression, fatigue, constipation and dry, sallow skin were my primary symptoms. I donât recall bloating but may have been. As others have said, test T3, T4, free T3, reverse T3 in addition to TSH. For some reason, thyroid symptoms have been downplayed by doctors.
I donât have the discipline to change my diet too much, but adding liothyronine to the levothyroxine was magic for me.
