Cured my Hashimoto's?

[SEOINAGE]

So did some major diet changes based on blood work showing foods which caused immune responses. This is the lowest my TSH has ever been, and the highest my T3 has been. T4 still a bit low. Pretty cool if you ask me. I donated blood right after this was taken, so I do realize the high hemo and hema and RBC. I will make sure to donate frequently. Honestly though since doing this diet I have felt really tired and such, moreso than before.

Nice!! Good job!! Were you taking any iodine or any thyroid meds at any point, or was it just strictly diet and lifestyle changes?

I took thyroid meds last december and january. 6 weeks basically, and hated every minute of it. TSH went even higher while on them. So all this was recent, and purely diet changes. Here is the list of foods that showed up on my blood work, tested something like 186 foods, didn't want to spend money on the one that was like double the size. Amaranth, cheese, cranberry, egg, lentil, milk (cow's), milk (goat's), oat, pea, pineapple, potato white, sugar cane, wheat, yeast baker's and brewer's, walnut.

So the trick in a few weeks is to implement one food at a time and see how it effects me over a period. Sounds really hard to do, but kind of crazy it actually made such a difference. This has been pretty hard, but will still be tough for a while to figure it out, might have to have bloods again next year to see if I did it right.

Good for you bro, love to know the details of your diet.

[SEOINAGE]

wow just realized picture doesn't show my thyroid antibodies being in range. Anyways it was a different scale, and under 100 was good I was at 50.

My diet basically was eliminating everything above. So I would cook up a pork shoulder, have it without sauce of course, ate a lot of beef and steak, some chicken. Vegetables I could have but couldn't use butter, so I used some bacon fat, or olive oil to flavor them. Ate barley with coconut oil and agave with fruit. Ate a lot of buckwheat with olive oil and salt. I made quinoa with grilled orange peppers and onions and garlic mixed into it with olive oil. Sweet potatoes and yams. Buckwheat and or quinoa pancakes with pecans. A few other recipes and things I used but for the most part it was really restrictive.

Just did some digging, but though my tsh and t3 has improved from last t3 test i have done and other tsh tests. I know I have a score in the 2 range from a few years ago but it is just barely under 3. but this doc that first ran my thyroid antibodies only also did tsh.

TSH, 3rd gen 3.26 MIU/L .4-4.5
Thyroglobulin AB 35 IU/ML <20

so how is this new one better? it looks like an increase from 35 to 55.5. I know the acceptable range is different, but both are IU/ml so what gives?

THYROGLOBULIN Abs 55.5 <115 IU/ml is from this recent test that you don't see in the picture.

Funny thing is I feel great since I donated blood on friday. But yes immediately after changing to this diet, very first week and weeks after extremely tired during the day. Could be lack of vitamin D cause I was drinking vit d milk before? could be the semi reduced calories, I really don't know. Someone said increased T3 levels can make some people feel sluggish. I don't know what to point to. I've started supplementing with dhea and preg and rohdiola today. And in the past few weeks introduced peptides as well. I mean I really wish my doctor was on hand every day and I wasn't just stuck talking to a nurse about some of this stuff, I have a check up soon that I will bring everything up in, thing that sucks is I saw the wrong person last time and basically wasted the visit.

[zaggahamma]

yeh sorry to hear...sometimes its hard to point to whats causing us the most problems


what milk are u buying that doesnt have vit D i though it all did

for me, reduced calories actually does the opposite except if i try to sleep hungry of course then i dont sleep well and then that opens a whole new can of worms

about thyroid and meds...so tricky too...my wife started on synthroid and it didnt help with energy and made her more hungry

[SEOINAGE]

i took synthroid for 6 weeks ish. It made me wicked hungry, and I got sick a ton, was sick basically the whole time, colds and flues and stomach issues.

I'm not drinking any milk.

Wondering if my thyroid improvements are due to removing sugar and a few other things and that the rest of this food allergy business is a load of crap. I emailed nurse about the AB numbers because they appear to be a load of crap, appear higher but different range.

Was this the ALCAT food allergy test?

You saw in my thread that I lowered my TSH by cutting out grains/gluten, processed foods and sugar. I don't know if you saw the link I posted before about the woman with Hashimoto's who did that and was able to get off her thyroid medication, so it could indeed be just those things and not all the other foods you got tested.

Had a friend who was diagnosed with MS. Doc told her she had a difficult future in store for herself. Went into denial and decided all doctors were quacks. 9 months later, and symptoms much worse, she had to admit to herself she had MS. But she went to a different doc who specialized in reversing autoimune disorders. That doc put her on a diet similar to seoinage's diet. One year later after being on the diet she went back to her orignal doc for testing. Doc was amazed she no longer had MS!

Of course, my friend couldn't resist an "in-your-face you quack" comment. I had to high five her when she told me that part.

These auto-immune diseases are best attached via diet. Glad to see you took a good path and were successful seoinage. As to the energy levels, you must be lacking something in the diet. Probably something rather simple. C, D, B vitamins, hard to say. Keep experimenting.

Two things I changed a week and a half ago, donated blood, then started drinking whole milk with vit d. So I picked up a D supplement, and so far I have been good. But I want to get a multi for the b vitamins and a few other things, but guessing at first it was such a shock not getting certain nutrients I was getting before. Getting raw milk tonight, I always felt awesome drinking that stuff. I got a response from the nurse that the actual AB number differs because of how they do the test. I'm going to keep trying to implement foods once I get to where I know I'm feeling good and can recognize how a change in diet would effect me. If even it's cause the grains and sugar, because I was doing basically paleo at one point and had lower TSH then too, well I would have to look a few things up to verify the timing, but pretty sure it was, but would be worth keeping that stuff out.

Bottom line is if I can avoid thyroid meds by changing diet that's awesome. Now if I could change test levels I might consider getting off of it, I might have to try is the thing.
