10 Harmful Foods if You Have Hashimoto's (AVOID These Foods)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2021
- If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis then these 10 foods should be avoided. Did you know that the foods that you put into your mouth impact the course of Hashimoto's?
It's true, foods can either positively impact or negatively impact thyroid function and that includes people who have autoimmune thyroiditis.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is both an autoimmune disease as well as a thyroid condition and both must be addressed if you want to see improvement.
The good news is that by changing your diet, it is possible to see an improvement in both immune function and thyroid function and potentially even reverse or halt the damage your immune system is doing to your thyroid gland.
This list of foods is notable for patients who have Hashimoto's because these food groups cause problems with either your immune system OR with thyroid function OR both.
If you have Hahsimoto's, make sure you are AVOIDING these foods.
Did any of these foods surprise you? Are you already avoiding them? Let me know below!

#thyroid #hypothyroidism #hashimoto's
Im 57 and have been taking synthroid since I was 26. Around the age of 32 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. No one explained anything. I have eaten what I wanted all my life. Im to the point I feel horrible all the time. Fatigue, can't sleep well, just utterly exhausted constantly. Thank you for your videos. Knowing what I do now maybe i can make an impact on how I feel. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!
I was diagnosed with hashimoto's when I was 29. I'm 60, and I have felt like garbage the whole time. A doctor named Dr Cole talks about how thyroid problems affect mitochondria at the cellular level. I'm going to see him. You can find him online. It might help you too.
Avoid gluten, iodized salt, dairy products, soy products, coffee, alcohol, processed foods (any food undergone modification with preservatives or flavor), processed sugars (natural sugars are okay), inflammatory oils (vegetable oils), raw vegetables sometimes (broccoli, kale potentially but more iodine if you eat these) also boiling or steaming them is a positive. ❤ Thank you!!
@@highvibes77 Why avoid iodized salt if we need iodine?
Keto worked for me. Take care ❤
@judil3294 I read two books on iodine and was convinced that I need more of it. I take extra iodine daily. It's needed for thyroid function. The medical profession is split on whether it helps or not. The iodine in salt is so depleted that we should supplement, and there's a way to find out how much you need. Too much to explain here, but it would behoove any thyroid sufferer to do their own research.
I went a year on a dairy, gluten and processed sugar and foods. I was miserable. I went in at 100%. I didn't cheat I almost only ate food at home. I ended up being obsessed and became so anxious about food and being around people eating. I had to research a restaurant and if there was nothing I could eat I would either ask to go somewhere else or just not go. It seriously messed me up. I was doing all this under a naturopath that insisted I never eat any of these things again. After a year I had to stop. I lost a ton of weight but felt horrible and now had an eating disorder. I added dairy in first and slowly started feeling a bit better. Then I added back gluten and felt even better. When I added back processed foods/sugar. I started feeling a little worse. So I decided to just be very careful of the processed foods/sugar. and eat whatever else I wanted. 10 years later I'm still anxious around food and have had a few panic attacks eating out at restaurants. I try to eat a balance diet and consult a nutritionist to stay on track. I just want people to not do what I did and become obsessed with food. Eat in moderation and if you find you don't feel well after a particular food try to have it in very limited quantities. My number one trigger that makes me feel horrible are onions. I'm ok in very small quantities but have to be careful.
I'm sorry for the ramble I just don't want anyone to go through what I did and become obsessed.
I went through the same thing as you when I went raw vegan. Talk about obsessing and stressed out. LOL
@@joey8701 Going through that 2 weeks in AIP. It causes more stress than happiness.
My number one trigger is also onions. I've been diagnosed with an intolerance to FODMAPs. Maybe you have it too
Good info. Always good to use the elimination method - before and add back 1 at a time - to see what your body can tolerate.
@@Sirie7206 oh boy 😭 you got that right. I can't understand why I feel worse now since I've been on the AIP diet. The reason why I started that diet is to lose weight and sleep better. I so miss my butter and eggs. I usually don't eat grains or vegys. Since I've been on this diet I eat a lot more veggies. I'm tired of feeling crappy and not losing weight.
Hi. I too am 57 years old , and have had thyroid issues since early 30's. Was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 10 years ago, and kind of naturally avoided everything you mentioned. I eat everything I want, which is within those parameters, and forget I have this diagnosis. If I just roll with things, I' m good
OMG I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 41 and packed on 40 lbs in one year. I'm 69 now and no one ever said the word Hashimoto . I've tried every diet known to man with no results. None of this was ever explained. I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Child's Channel. Now maybe I can make some progress.
Hashimoto is a relatively new auto immune disorder.
Look at it this way when you walk into a grocery store you realize there’s only 25% or less of any food you can purchase and eat! Seriously!
OK, I'm 77. Two years ago I was told I had Hashimotos disease, even though I've been on thyroid meds since my late 20s. Now all of a sudden I'm supposed to make these dramatic changes in my diet. I'm also pre-diabetic & watch my sugar intake & check my glucose levels periodically with my own monitor. The leaky gut thing & giving up glutin threw me. At 16 I had ulcers, from high stress. I got over it. I've never had stomach issues since, maybe occasional heartburn with something really spicy, but I found the main cause was sugar. Once I cut back on sugar, that went away. So I'm listening to you now & find glutin free just has to be for 60-90 days? Then what? I thought it had to be forever? Why dairy? I've never been a milk drinker, but I love halfnhalf in my coffee & tea (not to excess) cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese & the only problem I ever had with dairy is ice cream...it makes me phlegmy. I'm so confused at this point I've almost lost my appetite for anything. I thought your later years were supposed to be enjoyable?
Would love to see an answer to this.. same questions as I want to ask..
He says to try it for 60-90 days... Many people stop gluten and dairy for a week (at most) and they will still eat them on "special occasions", so they never find out if these 2 kinds of foods made them sick.
I have been following hashimoto diet for 4 months and I went from not beng able to walk to feeling like a normal 30 year old. Give it a try for 3 months and if you feel better, keep going (forever, no cheat meals).
I’m in the same situation. Have taken Synthroid for 40 years
What do you eat? It is so difficult and expensive. @patiakreles
@@jamiehromas it is expensive, I tried my best to follow the diet while also taking my medication, that was really expensive, after a while I was able to stop some of the meds so the diet is still expensive, but my total expenditure is less than before. I try to see it as my monthly expenses, rather than focusing too much on "this meal is expensive". I live in Chile so here we have a lot of cheap fruits and veggies and I go to a kind of "farmer's market" every saturday. I have sjogrens so my mouth is kind of dry, I tend to eat A LOT of chicken soup with veggies and potatoes. I don't remember if this video banned eggs, I still eat these. I used to prepare my own almond milk, but it was too much work and peeling the almonds was really hard for me at my lowest health. I found a chilean brand that makes powderes almond "milk" so I drink that every now and then.
For me it has been a switch from focusing on my meds to focusing on my food. I eat kind of like a body builder, chicken, veggies and fruits.
I used to hace bronchitis every autumn and winter and this year I got a sore throat one day or two and that was it. Last year I had a 3 month cold with bronchitis and asthma that lead to me taking prednisone. If you can try to make a budget and see what you can eat and how much it costs. For me the replacements like gluten free bread and pasta are way too expensive, I might have it once a month, since 1 kg of gluten free bread here is like 8 dollars and 1 kg of normal bread is at most 2 dollars.
I learnt to cook a lot of gluten free vegan things, my favourite is a "curddle" that I kind of invented, I use coconut cream (here it is 2 or 3 dollars), a can of fruit or any fruit you like and a couple of eggs, you can add sugar or some sweetner and that goes to the oven for like 30 minutes in a small pan (idk if it's called a pan... But you get the idea).
I kind of enjoyed the process of learning how to eat differently, I feel it made me more creative in general. I did mourn the loss of dairy and still fantasize about cheese, but no big deal given the benefits
I followed this diet but then stopped, boy I’m feeling depressed and I have body aches. I’m been banking on coffee gluten and everything he mentioned. It is sad but everything he says is so truth. If you hashimoto, you won’t have a life because you can’t anything that everyone else can. It is so depressing, but I have to go back to eating non gluten and avoid alcohol.
Going gluten free has helped with my thyroid inflammation tremendously. I am really glad you said coffee was bad for the thyroid of Hashimoto's patients. Everyone I know drinks an obsessive amount of coffee and asks me why I don't do the same. I have tried in the past to drink coffee with all the cool kids. But I always felt sick, tired, unhealthy! Then I started getting migraines. They were so bad I would throw up. After some research (it's nearly impossible to find anyone who says coffee can be bad for some people), I suspected coffee might be the culprit. After going completely caffeine free (giving up green tea and chocolate was harder than giving up coffee), I no longer have any headaches at all. When I tell people I don't drink or eat any caffeine they usually are shocked or feel sorry for me but I feel the best I've ever felt. People I know are so addicted to coffee (they even wear shirts admitting their love affair with coffee) that when I ever suggest they give it up, a fight is sure to ensue, so I keep my mouth shut. I am grateful to know to cure to my headaches and fatigue-ditching caffeine.
Why giving up green tea?
@@Dp-sg9fq it gives me neck pain and headaches.it’s the caffeine
Can drink decaf green tea? Green tea is good for health.
@@thoulaphetmany9037 I love green tea and I know it contains a lot of antioxidants. But I noticed that drinking just one cup in the morning put my body in a state of stress so that I impacted badly on my night sleep
LOL I'm sorry, I may be one of them people LOL! I so love my coffee! My biggest question is, is it the coffee Bean or is it the caffeine? I drink about one cup a day so I think I'm good ❤️
Wow I am so glad I just happened to come across your video!!! I am 71 and have endured Hashi for 15 years. I have NEVER had it explained the way that you do Dr. Childs. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This makes so much more sense now. I will have to watch all your videos so that I can really get educated and better my health and well-being. Big hugs to you for helping us. Thank you, Marie
Hello have anyone heard of Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel he cured me permanently from psoriasis with herbal remedy.
1. Gluten
2. Iodized salt
3. Dairy
4. Soy
5. Coffee
6. Alcohol
7. Processed foods
8. Processed sugar
9. Industrial seed oils or vegetable oils
10. Raw vegetables
Exactly the comment I was looking for. Thanks.
Omg. I like raw vegies. I can't understand why hashimoto can't consume iodine ? Reasons please
@@thoulaphetmany9037 the thyroid is the only organ in the body that can process iodine. If you have hashi and overload it with iodine it ends up damaging your thyroid more than it already is. Its a controversial subject.
Hello have anyone heard of Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel he cured me permanently from psoriasis with herbal remedy.
Thank you!!!!!
WOW!!! You have ALL OF THE INFORMATION!! Thank You!
Can you please make a video what to eat when you have Hashimoto's? Thanks for the all the information. very helpful.
You share so much really helpful information in such an efficient amount of time. I've learned more watching these videos then from endocrinologists or even naturopaths. Thank you! It's great confirmation of much that I've learned over the years and am trying to implement. I still have some dairy and some processed foods, but have recently cut out coffee and processed sugar!
Great video! Thank you
Excellent piece of advice Doc. All Hashimotos need to know this info. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Your videos, and videos like these are the BEST thing about the internet! I was getting so tired of telling my doctors their blood tests were WRONG (you confirmed this) and they had no answers. At 64 I think I’ve had this since I was 5 based on symptoms, I’ve conquered it a few times eating strictly and being out in the sun and active for hours a day, all on my own, but we all slip and the weight returns which complicates things yet again. ? What about drinking teas??? THANK YOU for all the details, to help refine how and what I eat. Still a tricky thing to get right. You are a shinning start of information! Again, thank you!!!
Hi, you uave great videos . Can we have tea with almond milk and banasa.??
Love your channel and have learned so much about Hashimotos from you. I was a diet cola drinker for years. I consumed 4-6 daily for years. I recently quit and within 3 days my heart rate increased to 132 bpm at rest. I then developed hyperthyroid symptoms which were scary! Initially , I had been well controlled on 75 mg NP thyroid for 5 years. After I have eliminated diet cola , I am now taking 15 mg of NP thyroid med daily. My heart rate and blood pressure have normalized. All the hyperthyroid symptoms are gone after 4 months! It has been a long process to get to this point. I hope this can help some of you with Hashimotos. Nobody ever told me to stop or the impact it can have on your thyroid.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the information 13.45
Thank you for doing what you do
Thank you, I just came across ur videos. Very informative, I appreciate them very much .
This was great information! Thank you!!!
I love how you explained this! Great information
great information!!
This answered so many questions for me, thank you!
Such magnificent info., and presentations. Wow. 🙏🏻💙👏👏🙏🏻
I am new to you're channel, happy I am here. I ferment all my vegetables, many of them raw cruciferous vegetables, thank you for explaining to me I need to cook them and then ferment. I am enjoying your soft spoken, matter a fact, well spoken way
Thank you very much, Dr. Childs. None of the endocrine doctors I have consulted have ever given me any of this important information. They have only talked about T3, T4, TSH, hypo/hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto and autoimune…
Ditto. Me too. Whyyyy do endocrine Drs always say there is no
Special diet and that there is no cure?
I love your information
Thank you so much
This is what I have lived by for the last 6 months. My hashi symptoms are nearly gone, also with the help of proper medication dosages. I am now back to loving life again and appreciate my body's ability to heal.
Hi Kara. Just wondering if you'd mind sharing the medication you're prescribed? Right now I'm just taking Levothyroxine and find limited improvement. Thanks..
@@allyfrasier6306 I take Synthroid and Liothyronine :)
What diet to do use? I have no thyroid
@@yuriboykin8783 mostly AIP. Always gluten free, dairy free, soy free, no caffeine or alcohol and limited sugar.
What is AIP?
I was diagnosed at age 12 and I am now 51. All DR'S ever did was change my meds. This yr they finally told me about diet. I have several autoimmune diseases.
I have avoided all these foods except for the coffee and the improvement is huge. I get sick every time I eat gluten and dairy. I definitely will remove coffee as well.
You don't have to REMOVE coffee. Just go caffeine free if your body is sensitive. Smdh
Even decaf contains caffeine, just have the coffee, decaf coffee is ridiculous @@janice369
dr ur my most fave youtube channel and excellent information all my family has hashis and other autoimmune diseases, info is seriously lacking to uk patients, gps tend to know very lil here and extremely poor treatment, i had to research myself wish we had this 15 years ago ;) been on ndt a long time 8 to 9 years now it works, t4 is pretty useless tends to just flood the blood no conversion to t3, my nhs endo did finally tell me about conversion but i'd already told him so and trialed me on t3, ndt was better for me with a lil t4, i had to go private and still do to this day.
Thank you doc.
Welcome!
Thank you 🙏♥️
I definitely agree with all these! Although one other that I would like to add because it is a MAJOR one for me personally (but may not be for others with Hashimotos) is nightshades. It took a long time to figure it out because I was still in the process of adjusting the rest of my diet, but red peppers especially like paprika, potatoes, eggplant, even tomatoes :( all need to be avoided for me. And even though it's not a nightshade, I also need to be very careful with onion as well.
I've been having weird reactions from tomatoes also. I've been getting sick lot and dr didnt find out why. Thought it was lupus at first so they tested me for that etc. Trying to fix my insurance and get tested for thyroid. I read all the symptoms and they match up 2 well.
@@chrisortiz8072 I hope you are able to find your answers soon.
@@chrisortiz8072 "Healthy" tomatoes are a nightshade! I have an autoimmune condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and learned years ago it was aggravated by sugar and soy and other foods, but was clueless that all the tomato sauce-based dishes I was making were also culprits (thanks to Dr. Ken Berry!). ALSO, artificial sweeteners can mess with our insulin and cause HS breakouts, so since these two diseases "share" so many food sensitivities, maybe artificial sweeteners affect Hashi as well. Going mostly carnivore has not led to big weight losses as I hoped BUT it has calmed by HS symptoms. I wonder if it would help Hashi victims too ...
Organic tomatoes were ok for me. Ordinary non organic tomatoes ( full of pesticides and chemicals) made me ill.@@chrisortiz8072
As a Celiac with Dermatitis Herpetiformis (a skin manifestation that affects 10 to 25% of Celiacs), even a small amount of iodine can severely aggravate eruptions. In my experience, keeping 100% gluten free will eliminate all DH symptoms, but even a pinch of gluten contamination can set off painful sores and blistering. If I am also consuming iodine, the symptoms are much worse.
Excellent Dr. Childs. I have been following this regime since 2006 with the guidance of my Chiropractor and it makes a huge difference . Thank God I did because I'm still not on any medication and I am now 71 years old. This has also helped me with my digestive issues immensely. I have history of Barrett's, Gerd and Esophagitis and Hashimoto's in recent years. I have also had high levels of heavy metals which I went through chelation therapy and that helped with my thyroid issues and HBP. Would love to know your feelings about chelation therapy. Thank you and keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos, your complete knowledge and manner in which you share information.
I have learned more from you then my on doctor's about my Hashimoto's.Thank you so much. I eat a carnivore-ish diet and feel so much better ...still haven't given up my coffee though.
I only drink 2 cups coffee a day. Last thing I will give up.
I do AIP and I, too, have had a hard time giving up coffee. I do make sure I eat before drinking it though and I only do one cup a day. However, if my endocrinologist says stop, I'm guessing I probably should 🤣
I life without coffee? 🥺🤯🤔😳👹😭I hear you. 😊🌼
What is AIP?
People try teechino dandelion coffee. It isnt coffee but good alternative.
I agree with all of this, as a Hashimoto's patient for 20 years, except the part about sugar. Yes, processed sugars are worse, but natural sugars are not much better. Sugars, no matter what type, react the same in the body. There are actually no studies that show that carbs (sugars) are essential to life. Very occasionally honey and some fruit may be ok, but we have to remember that they still introduce sugar into the body, which is a source of inflammation. While honey and fruit tastes good and can be enjoyed occasionally, the sugar in them is not essential for life. Fatty meats are nutrient dense and do not contain inflammatory sugars. I recommend Dr. Ken D Berry, who has been a carnivore for 4 years after being on keto and paleo before that. He and his wife are the healthiest they have ever been since going ketovore and carnivore. She has put her Hashimoto's into remission. I highly recommend their channels.
I agree! Dr. Ken Berry and his wife Neisha who is in remiss6 fro Hashimotos are great examples of how to do Keto/Carnivore
wdym sugar is not essential for life,, glucose is the only source of energy for brain and erythrocytes
Absolutely!! Sugar from a piece of fruit and sugar from pasta and sugar from molasses are all the same to your body. All carbs are broken down into glucose by the body in order to be utilized. And sugar causes inflammation. That is enough reason for me to ditch carbs. So agree about carbs not being an essential nutrient at all. I have heard Dr. Berry say that many times!!
Fructose from fruits is supposed to be Evan worse than sucrose……but , yes I agree all sugars are bad…unfortunately….😢
@@moperson1 Honey is 40% fructose and 30% glucose. Not sure how that can be "better."
Coffee definitely affects me in ways where i do not absorb my meds. I do notice many Hashimoto’s people crave alcohol because of fatigue. I am glad you covered avoid it here.
I have hypothyroid and I was driving wine at night to be able to sleep, but it wasn't a good idea
Why would anyone crave alcohol due to fatigue? If anything alcohol is a depressant and increases drowsiness.
Dr. Childs, Your videos are very informative can you tell me the best time of day to take my meds for my thyroid? Thank you
Yes yes yes - this info is life saving. Thankful for up to 20 minutes per dose is brilliant - so glad Dr Childs evidently understands this. Maybe just a tad slower?? Like so many people, given Levothyroxine and thought that was it. 35 years later in an unhappy existence I learn I may be able to get my life back. Does anyone also suffer with initial lymphatic glands feeling painful, off and on???
Thank you Dr Childs ❤
You are awesome!!!!🙆♀️
Decided to improve my symptoms by researching my symptoms and am pleased with your video. I have weight gained 50 lbs since finding out I had hyperthyroid and taking the radiation pills to kill my thyroid. This is hard to now take off and also have lots of bloating, swelling in face and arms, and constipation. Needing help finding answers, and don’t fell doctor is helping. Thank you!
12:10 I’m actually glad you put emphasis on this, because people tend to group sugar from fruits into a harmful category of “sugar bad”
too much fructose isnt good for you. i tend to stay with berries.
Other doctors say the only fruit you should eat is granny Smith green apples, lemons, limes, and berries. Check out the podcast KNOW THE CAUSE. Doug Kaufmann is the guy. He teaches about mycotoxins- like fungus and yeast. His eating plans cut out lots of foods too. All depends on what you are treating.
40% of my diet is fruit and all my blood work is fine. no diabetes or other condition's. Except for the obvious hashimotos. Clean HBA1C, Fasting glucose, and oral glucose tolerance test. My blood work is phenomenal. People say fructose is bad but eating too much fat is equally bad if not worse. Fat is the issue not the fructose.@@oldbat4383
@@contrarymary76 Mycotoxin exposure comes from the indoor environment building and homes through inhalation. If you want to lower mycotoxin exposure in your body, you address your home and/or workplace, not diet. Using diet to control symptoms of mycotoxin exposure doesn't treat the cause. Also mycotoxin is the by product of fungus and yeasts. Mycotoxins are not the same as fungus and yeasts Certain tests look for fungus and yeast but there are different test to check for types of mycotoxins antibody exposure. Id suggest looking into Dr andrew campbell, he's gives good information. There are certain things i dont agree with him but a good amount what he says is good information.
Depends on what those natural and processed sugars are doing to your insulin and glucose levels probably ...
Alcohol affects me so bad that so far I have completly quit
Me too. Not even fun.
Thank you
Thank you. You are so appreciated. At 65 I can relate what you say to over 30 yrs of my personal suffering. BUT, 2 years ago I discovered Rife technology. 2 yrs of my endocrinologist telling me I will be on this high dose of levothyroxine for the rest of my life, “ABSOLUTELY NO IODINE FOR YOU” (I’d say in my head “watch me”) she just, as in two weeks ago lowered my dose. Not once in 2 years did she discuss gluten, diet, lifestyle etc. just snickered at the number of supplements I took. I felt like a number on her pay invoice. With your help I’m going to beat this. Rife is a huge tool for me to utilize your information. THANK YOU.
i already avoid gluten and dairy and processed sugar but it’s just not fair. i’m so tired of deprivation and not being able to have foods with those ingredients 😭 eta: i also avoid caffeine and alcohol. ugh i hate this 😭😭😭
Me too! I've been strict keto for 5 years. A couple times a year I give myself the ability to go wild for a few days but I always regret it because I feel like shit. It makes me want to scream sometimes. Parties, work, I have to spend most of my time saying no.
But the question is, are you feeling better when avoiding these items?
I’d like to know in detail please
When I avoid caffeine my stress builds up so it is not good, when I avoid dairy completely I don't feel good. What worked for me is to drink coffee in a normal amount, one turkish coffee in a day, and something dairy for breakfast like yogurt for example.
im terribly addicted to caffeine and i have this same hashimotos. is there any reason why i should be avoiding caffeine
?
I’m like, who did this to me?
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few weeks ago, thinking back it should have been at least ten years ago. I didn’t know anything about thyroid disease, so my symptoms were not associated to my thyroid. I could not understand why I was not loosing weight when I literally ate one meal a day. Hopefully, removing gluten will do the trick (not ready to remove coffee, but could start limiting dairy.). Thank You for your informative video.
How are you doing at the moment?
How are you now?
Well I can tell you now I’ve been gluten free for over a decade and still can’t lose weight. I didn’t realize dairy and coffe were issues till recently. I’m off of them now. I don’t play around with limiting, if it’s bad, it’s got to go, completely.
@@unnamed2737 Absolutely! If something is to be avoided, you can't just have a little or have it every so often. Avoidance means not at all!! If someone told you not to eat arsenic, you wouldn't try to convince yourself a little bit is ok. Poison is poison. And sometimes foods or drinks that other people can tolerate are poison to you. It's more abut discipline than willpower.
This a good video! Thanks you for this infirmation. What about grave's disease and radio iodine doctor? Hope you can make videos on this as well.
Right on! I am so Thankful for your care as a Doctor! I learn the Best from you every time! I’m listening and doing what you suggest. When my doc put me on a Thyroaide supplement that has 150 iodine,200 Ashwagaunda,125 Tyrosine,forskohlil50mg,vitaminB6,Vit A 2500,Folate mcg,zinc 6mgs, Selinium 100mcg. It’s helping big time. I do take 25 mgsof Zink also.😊

Thank you so much Dr.Childs for this informative sessions.Now I've to go easy on my Cheese intake & 120 mls of wine daily with dinner.Not too much Ihope.Keep well.😊
I appreciate your videos to help my son with Hashimotos. Thank you. Just one suggestion, you talk so quickly that if you are presenting new info it is difficult to absorb it. I had to log in on my phone and slow down your talking speed.
**Could you please make a video on superfood mushrooms ? **
I’ve heard chaga is not good with those that have hashimotos however I’ve heard other mushrooms are great for energy …. Sometimes these come in blends though
It would be amazing to have a video on this topic, I’m trying to get the energy/focus benefits of mushrooms but want to be careful with my thyroid… thank!!!
Have been following this advice for 4 years and it helps keep my thyroid function consistent and my thyroid hormone replacement dose stable. For me Hashimoto’s was diagnosed very late, but I think if I had started avoiding these foods earlier, I could have avoided the progression of the disease and never developed other autoimmune diseases as a result of advanced Hashimoto’s.
Elizabeth Patterson May I ask how high were your aTPO and TG, before you were diagnosed with Hashimoto’s?
@@luzysombra5291 I had never been tested before, even with regular medical care. It was only after relocating from the Boston, Massachusetts, metro area, “Medical Mecca” to Mississippi and a new doctor that finally, I was tested. By that time, my TSH was over 6, and I was started on thyroid hormone replacement and referred to an endocrinologist, who I was not able to see for several months, so my TPO was not tested until after I was already being treated. At that time, my autoantibodies were close to 700, and I was also diagnosed with AIN.
@@elizabethpatterson1776 thank you for taking the time to answer.
Me too!
Like the new “do”. Great advice Doc, thank you.
I have Hashimotos with three nodules at a level 4. I go every 6 months for a thyroid ultrasound and I guess we are "waiting" for the nodules to be big enough to biopsy. My aunt had thyroid cancer, so I really want them to go in and take it all out, but I have to wait. My endocrinologist doesn't suggest any food avoidance. I have thyroid tongue as well but does not seem to address that either. I am on two meds. Lastly, and this is the hardest thing, I developed mal de debarquement syndrome from being on a plane ride almost 5 years ago. MdDS occurs mostly in women who are middle-aged like me and have thyroid disease in addition to being peri-menopausal (as I was) . So autoimmune disease is a big deal.
I have heard people who had great results avoiding of course bad quality food, but following blood type diet and have seen great improvement.
My thyroid tsh was less then 2 since from 2016 to 2020 July. August 2020 I lost my dad due depression i am in stress , anxiety and hair loss and pms issues. July2021 my tsh was 5.6 . Dosage increase 50 mcg to directly 88 mcg.
I started thyroid tablet in night as morning I feeling too much fatigue . Stress also main factor to elevate thyroid function.
And thanks for all points will definitely eliminate all process foods, sugar, soy and oils to improve thyroid.
Am not a doctor but little advice is better that none try dinking coriander water soak overnight boil and drink first thing in the morning on empty stomach for three months straight
Hey Dr. Childs, I have high TSH about 6 but FREE T3 and T4 are in good range. My Sodium is low 130. My doc wants to put me on 25mcg of levothyroxine to see if my Sodium & Chloride go up. I tested negative for hashimotos. Is it ok to go on levothyroxine? I don't want to be stuck on a drug I could have fixed with better a better diet.
Thank you for the valuable information but I have difficulty in understanding which salt I should use. I bought sea kelp but I am afraid to use it either??
Hello have anyone heard of Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel he cured me permanently from psoriasis with herbal remedy.
Wonderful advice Doctor. These things are not told to the patients when we visit our GP.I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2017.My tpo was 250+.Last yearit creeped up to 950 and I had every symptoms of hashimoto. I visited my GP he said my Thyroid Function was normal and he cant give me any medication. I was in so much pain in all parts of my body.i just took Paracetamol every 4 to 6 hours to calm my pain .Then I decided to go on U Tube and I got so much information from there and the testimonials from other people who are suffering from Hashimoto. After 5 months my TPO is 629 and I feel so much better just by avoiding all the gluten from my diet.
The foods that you mentioned I don't take most of it.My next blood tests will be in September. Hopefully my hormone levels come further down.
Thanks for sharing your advice once again.
Can you tell me the current antibodies?? Reduced from 600?? I have 1300 ......i don't know how to deal with them
Thank you for all this important information. Are teas okay? Green tea or Earl gray for the morning instead of coffee?
Green tea is really good for inflammation.
All tea has flouride in it except for the Herbal Teas.
They can make you nauseous if consumed on an empty stomach due to the tannins in them so have something small to eat before drinking teas.
I can't even have that
Please, Dr. Childs, would you explain why you aren't a fan of avocado oil? (Assuming first, it is Organic.)
Thankyou for this video .is it high oleic sunflower oil better than normal one ?(as consuming sometimes in snack )
In moderation, it's probably okay.
I’m sort of new with Hashimoto disease-1 year in. And I just turned 67 years old. So going on a gluten free diet is really expensive and hard to adjust to the awful taste. My antibodies just went up and was advised by my doctor to stick to the diet. I’ve learned quite a bit by subscribing to your channel. Still having a hard time though sticking to all I have to avoid. I am overweight and I want to be healthy so I’m really trying my best .
eat real foods!
What about astaxanthin? Some say that it is not good to take if you have thyroid issues. Can you please elaborate why that is?
Can fermenting cabbage reduce the goitergens? How about grilling,roasting and stirfrying?
Dr. Childs, I’m so grateful for your videos! I have Hashimotos. I’ve read it may be beneficial for some people with auto-immune disease to consume cow organ. What are your thoughts on this, please? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Are you talking about glandulars?
@@drwestinchilds Liver, kidney, heart. Thank you for such a quick response 👍🏼
Hello Dr. Childs.
Excellent information.
My thyroid was removed since 2018, I had Hashimoto's since 2005, my last antibodies test was negative but I still accumulate a lot of fluids, especially before menstruation, I also have terrible pain in my breasts (fibrocystic mastopathy also since 2005) my face still it has a round shape even though I am not overweight, could I take iodine in addition to levothyroxine since I no longer have Hashimoto? I heard that this mineral helps a lot in a matter of ovarian and breast cysts.
I honestly gave up on endocrinologists because none of them told me about needing supplements to convert levothyroxine to T3, I live without energy and lots of premenstrual symptoms (I'm 49 years old).
My 22-year-old daughter also has Hasimoto's and the endocrinologist suspects that she also has celiac disease (maybe I have it too), because she is losing weight and looks malnourished, next week I will do the tests to rule out that autoimmune disease.
Don’t forget to have cortisol levels evaluated, if high, it can reek havoc on your body, Cushings is neglected and mis-treated in our medical system, every bit as much as hypothyroidism.
I recently heard the “grass fed butter”, is bad. A K2 was recommended. Didn’t quite understand. I just cut back, more so, on the butter. Thank you for mentioning, not to use extra virgin oil, when using high heat for cooking.
Thank you so much, I’ve learned so much too. I currently do keto carnivore diet and I do feel better. I still battle with fatigue and lack of motivation. I am currently on levothyroix, but thinking about switching to a better brand with no dyes etc. I thinking about stopping coffee for a month to see if I see improvements on my energy.
I was looking this video up for my sister who is diagnosed Hashimoto's. But I've been having some weird symptoms lately after having covid last September... I thought I had IBS for ages but now it is ramping up and it seems more like IBD (ulcers in my intestines). But I've had many tests and still doctors can't tell me what is wrong 🙃 so basically I've been figuring out what my food triggers are and a lot of it is what you've listed. Cutting out gluten has been a big help, using a juicer to have celery juice every day too. Avoiding processed foods is making a big difference too! I was vegan for a long time, but my body doesn't digest high fiber so well, beans and lentils can give me digestion problems... I was getting dizzy at work and so on, and doctors keep saying I have too much stress. But I still feel like there is something wrong in my body and no one can give me any answers 😕. Sleeping well and really eating healthy is all I can do... I've gone back to eating eggs and fish (no dairy though) but I can't see myself ever eating meat again, and avoiding the processed vegan alternatives as much as I can helps me.
Thanks for the advice. It seems that a strict Carnivore lifestyle is a safe place to go for all Hashimoto patients, or am I wrong?
Did this plus egg free and nightshades free and my hashi symptoms improved so much! Yet, reintroduced slowly some dairy a week, and some potatoes and that was ok, once I reintroduced eggs and dairy though, my arthritis came back in one hand. So, I am going back to a stricter diet again... No coffee for more than 5 months now either. Migraines and extreme tiredness and brainfog are almost fully gone, arthritis was until eggs were back.
What do you eat for breakfast without eggs or dairy
Thanks. Going to try your recommendations. Increased soy consumption alot for more protein and started feeling bad stomach and upper gi bloat.
Tsh went up about same or before and t3 down
How about a menu of few recipes of what we can eat ….we can actually make to eat at home .
Thank you for all the great knowledge ❤❤❤
Carnivore diet is the best for Hashi and thyroid dysfunction Since adopting this dietary approach, I have experienced a significant improvement in my symptoms, and my body has begun the healing process. 🥰
Which copper is best for hashimoto
Does that mean gluten is not proinflammatory, if I neither have gluten intolerance nor gluten sensitivity and don't notice a clear worsening/improvement of the symptoms after prolonged gluten consumption/abstinence? Is it safe to eat gluten occasionally after that period of 90 days when I'm doing well?
Is cold pressed sunflower oil healthy?and likewise other cold pressed oils?
Yes I have seen improvements leaving this out. What about DIM supplement people use for hormones have crucified veggies?
Hello have anyone heard of Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam channel he cured me permanently from psoriasis with herbal remedy.
Hello - what about Westsoy Soy Milk? Better to avoid? Thank you.
This diet would cause so much food anxiety and disordered eating. I am choosing ONE thing to eliminate and thats gluten, and thats enough. Enjoying food is important for not just physical health, but mental, emotional, and spiritual, maybe also social ~ food is a major part of being together with others and celebrations.
What about matcha green tea?
Should we avoid Coffea arabica extract? Is it an antioxidant? It is in a protein powder.
I see so many of your wonderful videos, but I wonder if it all still applies to someone who has no thyroid at all. Mine was removed many years ago diagnosed with Hashimoto.
I have Hashimoto's but I also had my thyroid removed and it had cancer. I don't hear many talk about that situation but I can say Gluten makes me really sick.
I am watching this and other videos to learn and know what to do to help myself. I'm diagnosed with Hashimoto disease / Hypothyroidism, low vitamin D, Pre diabetes, HTN, and Sleep Abnea. Plus, my gallbladder was removed. I'm 5'1 and 175. All my doctors tell me to loss weight. My diagnosis makes it difficult to lose weight. Plus, I'm married work, and raising a 11 year old and a 15 year old. My free time is limited. I don't know where to begin. So, I thought I should start with my diet. There is so many to choose from. Plus, foods I need to avoid for Hashimoto / hypothyroidism goes against pre- diabetic food recommendations. Do you have any advice for me? Do you recommend a specalist?
If u go on a low carb diet this will help the pre-diabetes and hashimotos..I have friends who went carnivore, got rid of diabetes and hashi completely controlled..do paleo or modified keto..both work well with both..
Please make a video on how to reduce inflammation. I know foods affect it but what else can you do? Diuretics?
I'll add it to the list!
Can you specify on the dairy, wether it’s raw or pasturized /homogenized milk. I have hashimoto and I drink raw milk, I’ve since learned to keep RAW dairy from taking my thyroid medication (4hrs)
I’ve gotten rid of everything on this list, I am looking to have one cup of matcha green tea a day with almond milk and honey.
I’ve read conflicting articles on Matcha green tea, do you have an opinion on matcha green tea and Hoshimotos if I having 1-2 teaspoons a day? What’s your conclusion on matcha?
Wondering about this also?
So, eating an apple would not be detrimental for a hashimoto patient on a keto-carno diet, because it is a natural source and a natural sugar? And if I understand you correctly, it could even be a positive because someone with a low thyroid function should probably eat some sugar instead of none?
It would be interesting to know,if there is a difference between dairy products from the supermarket (pasteurised and homogenised) and those made of raw milk. I don’t have lactose intolerance with the last ones.
would non sweetened applesauce be considered processed? frozen fruits? canned fruit in water?
When you say coffee, would black tea in Kombucha be a problem too?
what about green tea for a warm morning drink?
😢🎉😢🎉
THANK YOU
DOCTOR..
TRUTH... coffee ahhh no NO
My thyroid is dead i was told due to hachimoto,but no one ever said anything about what I eat ,but it is so true about soya ,achol and dairy as in certain cheeses ,I also can't eat tomatoes or other vine growing vegetables, here in France people just say I am a fussy eater ,but I know I will be unwell if I eat these things .My G P said to take soya for my menopause, and didn't believe me when I went back saying it made me feel so ill.Thank you so much Dr Childs ,you have helped me more in the short time I have known of you than in the 30 years with very little help from doctors here in France, thank you .do you have any advice on the depression that I get and I am just told is part of the hashi condition,
You need to cut out all nightshades
Natural roots & herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate all kinds of diseases and virus forever and permanently! I was able to beat hypothyroidism with natural herbal medicine from Dr Isibor on youtube.
Vitamin D3 really helped with my depression. best taken with K2 and Magnesium along with a nice fatty meal like salmon.
Eating steak is the best for depression. Try carnivore lifestyle all carnivores get off depression meds and improve their mood significantly
Tofu, extra firm, fried in olive oil. I really love the texture and it doesn’t bother me. Cabbage: love it! boiled, or raw, or as sauerkraut.
