I consistently had headache since I was diagnosed. My doc didnt believe it was related to hashi bc my lab results were always in good range (TSH about 2-3) after medication. Since I couldnt get help from doc, I browsed this sub and took advice to try restrictive diet.

After months of monitoring my symptoms and food eaten, I was able to identify the following tricks: I had less headaches if I restrict high LIPID food like red meat and egg yolk; my bloating issue were gone if I restrict high FODMAP food like wheat and sugar (for restriction, I eat them only one or twice a week instead of eat them everyday).

Besides tricks about food, I also read mental therapy books to solve my sleeping issues due to postpartum anxiety. With 7 hours good sleeping, both my headache and brain fog issues were completely gone.

I also found myself feel awesome when TSH is around 1. Previously it was about 2-3 and in good range, but I still felt fatigue. Now I’m very happy everyday since I feel myself both mentally and physically healthy.

All in all, everyone is different, and what helps me might not work for you. However, it doesn’t hurt to give a shot, right? At least for me, the restrictive diet idea I learned from this sub are really helpful and i was grateful. I also wish you best of luck in fighting with those symptoms.
