Did you know that if you have hashimotos (autoimmune thyroid) you should avoid all gluten? Eating gluten can increase your body’s production of thyroid antibodies! Essentially when your increasing your thyroid antibodies because you are eating gluten you are destroying your thyroid gland faster. As your thyroid tissue gets destroyed your ability to produce more thyroid hormone also drops.

The sooner we can intervene when someone has Hashimoto’s, the better chance the person can keep their full functioning thyroid gland. link to full article from Celiac Handbook in comments below!
