  • What do you eat when you have Graves' or hyperthyroidism?
    Graves' is an autoimmune disease that results in an ​attack on your thyroid gland and the production of excessive thyroid hormone which causes the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
    So what do you eat if you have Graves' or hyperthyroidism?
    What you eat depends largely on what kind of treatment you've undergone for hyperthyroidism.
    Those who are in the active stage of hyperthyroidism need to be tested for gluten and celiac disease as well as food sensitivities.
    Assessing these areas can help reduce intestinal inflammation and may treat your Graves'.
    Those who post thyroidectomy or post radioactive iodine ablation will need a diet tailored to hypothyroid patients because these therapies result in hypothyroidism in the body.
    Learn more about how to eat when you have Graves' to help normalize your weight.

    I had no symptoms other than losing weight very easily. The specialist told me 'here, take 6 of these pills for your thyroid, these 3 for your heart'. When I told her I wanted a second opinion for the treatment she started yelling that I could die at any second. I said ok, never went back to her office again. I'm currently being treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine. No gluten, no lactose, no soy, and no sugar & processed foods.

    For me the key was cortisol. I reduced stress, changed job, country, got rid of some toxic people and doing 100 things from early in the morning till late late at night and a year later I stopped the medication cause I felt I didn't need itI informed my doctor about 3 months later after I checked my blood.kept checking every 3 months. Almost 4 years now, still no meds, hopefully it will keep that way

    • @tredjesongen
      @tredjesongen Рік тому +6

      Yup. Kortisol. Extreme stress in childhood when organs develop leads to vulnerability for autoimmune disease.
      Everybode get to have toxic stress from time to time in their life.
      After a horrible time twelve yrs ago got Graves. Treated and got well after couple months. Now,after again unbelievable stressful time its back. Soo..stress must go. Whatever it takes. Just saying.
      Looong before gluten or other minor details. Went vegan,that kept it away for over a decade. But long periods of stress outside control got me this time.
      Worst of all is that doctors are so nonchalant about the danger. The worst is osteoporosis. So it cant go on for years. Think of it as no compromize. Stress must go,or remove yourself from toxic people. That is the real battleground.
      Doctors have tunnel vision and their pet peeves.

    Great information! I did the research and told my first endocrinologist that I believed cutting gluten really helped my symptoms and he said it had nothing to do with eachother but it was my choice if I wanted to do that. I changed doctors and asked if I should get the gluten tests but because I had already cut it from my diet it wouldn’t be accurate and I would have to consume gluten at least for 2 weeks to see if I had the antibodies. It wasn’t worth it to me because I completely feel the difference after going gluten free. Also been taking selenium consistently since being diagnosed and it has been amazing for my immune system! Thanks for confirming that for me.

    Thanks. I read the list and I have to say that I drink a lot of milk and coffee but a couple of years ago cut down my milk and coffee consumption and it did help my Graves symptoms now that I think about it.
    I must say thank you for finally someone is addressing the real heart of the problem when it comes to Graves because every single specialist I have seen just wants to rip my thyroid out and I tell them that I don’t want to trade the problems I have for the problems they will cause by doing that and I ask them “have you got anything to offer that deals with the antibodies which is the actual cause of Graves?” And they always say “no unfortunately” . They try to scare me and tell me that I might die if I didn’t have my thyroid out and I tell them “we are all going to die someday” but at the best breath they ask me if the student doctor’s can attend my appointment because “graves patients never end up in hospital so they never get to see them on rounds”
    So anyway thank you for the tips and I will do some more investigating on what foods are causing me issues because it would be nice to get my levels back under control.

    I got diagnosed just about 3 months ago and put on thyroid medication. After being diagnosed I tried so hard to eat healthy and exercise, I cut down on my calories a lot but it didn't matter because I started to gain weight anyways. The weight gain made me really discouraged since if felt like I had worked so hard for nothing. So 2 weeks ago I began eating LCHF instead, so no gluten, no sugar (and no carbs obviously) and I've already lost the weight that I put on during those months. So if anyone is struggling to lose weight while on medication I think a Low Carb High Fat diet is at least worth a try. Though do keep in mind that all diets works different depending on age and if/ how much you have dieted before. I'm 17 and have not dieted at all before which may be one of the reasons why this might work for me but not somebody else.

I felt very discouraged when I worked out super hard and ate “Healthy “ and I was still not able to lose the weight .. I am definitely speaking to my doctors to see if I can try that diet 🙏🏽 i am so desperate to lose this weight I’ve even considered going under the knife :(

    Thank you so much ; information is very much appreciated. Everything you have just said is so true.
    I was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago; put on medication, but decided to treat myself holistically. Because of my age , I was also going through the menopause ; symptoms quite similar hyperthyroid; aches hot flashes weight loss ( diabetes issues).
    By eliminating gluten , sugar and “said supplements; all symptoms had gone and gained amazing energy and skin.
    Personally I think gluten and sugar contributes to many illnesses. It’s a shame it’s not information given to patients by mainstream doctors.
    P.S. even my blood sugar has turned around 100%
    DIET IS EVERYTHING!

    Dr Childs, thank you SO much for your webpage with so much useful content all in one place and of course the videos. I have one nagging question that I've been obsessing over for days, my TSI is at 90% and your blog says "...not every single case of elevated TSI is indicative of Graves' disease" which is consistent with what my Endo says. I used to be hyPO (not extreme case but I had many symptoms so was put on levothyroxine 100mg), after nearly a decade my TSH started to drop reaching 0.02 at one point!
    My recent blood work showed normal FT4, FT3, suppressed TSH 0.18 and, TSI - 90%, TPO

    • @drwestinchilds
      @drwestinchilds  5 років тому +1

      The higher the percentage the more likely you are to develop Graves' at some point, unfortunately.

    • @marinawills7329
      @marinawills7329 5 років тому +1

      Thank you, Dr Childs. I'm still trying to establish whether having ANY level of TSI is indicative of the presence of Graves already in your body. My understanding is TSI is a response to only one condition, therefore I must have Graves??
      I'm following your youtube channel and facebook advice and have already adopted the recommended grain free diet. Will be interesting to see the blood work in 3-4 months!

      Sadly, most endocrinologist have 2 answers...methimazole or kill/remove your thyroid. None of what he recommends will hurt your treatment, but it will absolutely make you feel better and give you results that will improve your results to the point that your endo may reduce/ stop your meds or you avoid surgery/RAI.

    I am on my third trimester of pregnancy and was diagnosed with Graves’ disease just a month ago. My thyroid function and antibodies were too high during the first trimester, but the only symptom I had was 2 weeks of anxiety attacks. I was prescribed PTU for 4 weeks and been off it for 10 weeks now. Everything is now on the low-normal levels save for antibodies which the docs fear could cross the placenta to my baby.
    Baby’s heart rate has always been normal and no goiter has been seen. I also don’t have any symptoms - no hair loss, weight loss, eye problems, swelling of the thyroid, depression/anxiety, None of these! We have to be in battle mode with this mentally, physically and emotionally and not let this beat us.
    I am taking only Calcium in the a.m. and iron at night, but thinking of adding vit D3 and Omega supplements. I moderate my carb and sugar consumption and don’t eat out as best as I can. I never skip working out daily 2 times at least, HIIT if I don’t have much time, cardio or strength training, and yoga in the a.m and p.m, so my arms do not feel weak at all but I feel strong.
    I struggled with GERD and Endometriosis in the past and have healed naturally in 4-6 months from eating healthy and regular exercise. On a side note, when my body is dealing with some illness, I get glutathione IV shots which I get administered by my GP. Glutathione is a supplement widely used in Asia for its health benefits but administered via IV is most effective. My dose was 600 mg of gluta IV per week. My doctor said, you can’t overdose on it. Worst case is you pee out what your body doesn’t need of it.
    Disclaimer: research on glutathione IV and as for diet, regularly get check ups to see if you’re on the right track.

      @@grisssrodriguez7241 sorry about that. I hope you’re surrounded by people who love and understand you. Hard times and you are brave for weathering it.
      My thoughts would get crazy (and dark) during the pregnancy at the height of the anxiety, but it has been a good year or so since I gave birth. At my 37th week, I was declared “in remission” for hyperthyroidism all due to good diet, exercise, and meditation.
      7 months post-birth, I felt something similar to palpitations at a resting state, and my antibodies have gone up again. My GP wants me to wear this heart monitor vest (that you can’t take off for 24 hrs) to cross out the chance that it is something heart related. It wasn’t, it was the graves. I still haven’t addressed that since my last check up due to covid (busy hospitals). But otherwise I’m good. The heart racing happens maybe once every 2 or 3 months.
      Honestly, sometimes, doctors can stress me out. I have seen two diff doctors, one freaks me out (told me they were alarmed my hands were shaking when stretched out but I was nervous that day being in the hospital really), and the other tells me to relax and keep up with my checkups.
      The advices given here are really good. I hope you are feeling better today. ❤️

I am going to go to the er soon as I just found it from you that it can be deadly. One doctor took a look at my neck and sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon bounced me back to the doctor to find out why my thyroid was huge. Smh. I lost a massive amount of weight for no apparent reason and now i have put on an astonishing amount of weight.

    I had a horrible attack of diverticulitis this summer and was put on an IV with Flagyl & Cipro for four days, the two most powerful antibiotics that kill everything good or bad. Went home with same antibiotics in pill form for 10 days. I lost 22 pounds in two weeks (144 to 122), all my muscle was gone, totally out of breath, tremors, insomnia, and night sweats. GI doc couldn't explain why I was so exhausted but one of my test showed almost nonexistent TSH (thyroid). He referred me to an Endocrinologist and she said that the antibiotics can kick in hyperthyroidism at the level I was taking. I just had blood drawn again and getting an ultrasound on my thyroid today. Hoping this is a temporary situation. I've ordered many supplements to treat myself naturally. I do not want to go on thyroid medicine. This is another reason why I despise antibiotics but I had to take them because I had a horrible infection. Will post an update next week after I review the results with my endo.
