Gluten free

Has anyone found going gluten free helped with thyroid issues?

Thanks for sharing.

I was g/f for close to a year.  I hadn't done it to help my thyroid, didn't expect it to, and it didn't.  I actually ended up with a couple of G/I problems when I was on it that I blame on the g/f diet.  I ended up regretting doing it.

many people have tried going gluten free in hopes that it will help with thyroid.  There is little evidence that it helps with thyroid specifically.  

However many people report feeling better in general.  So regardless of whether or not it helped specifically with thyroid, if they felt better then it was worth it.

From what I've been reading, it takes at LEAST 6 months of gluten free as a minimum before you may start to see the benefits if any.  So you have to be extremely diligent and patient.  Most people who try this are not disciplined enough to stick with it for 6 months or more, or try it for a couple weeks and feel no benefit and quit. When in fact that was simply not long enough to draw any conclusions.

ALL of this is all anecdotal.  So take it for what it is worth.
