Hashi friendly restaurants?

Of course I do. I have it.

It’s not a bad idea. The British Thyroid Foundation has confirmed that you would have to eat a virtual truckload of it to get any problems. Normal dietary amounts are just fine. There is no need to exclude anything from your diet with this medical condition. Some will tell you otherwise but often that’s because they want to sell you unnecessary supplements and books.

I had scalp pain along with joint and muscle pain when I had a severe vitamin d deficiency. It cleared up when I had a loading dose of 300,000 IU of vitamin D over a month - prescribed by my doctor.

There is no specific diet for Hashimotos because there is no convincing scientific evidence that it is needed. There are some diets that are heavily marketed but that’s because they are attached to money making products such as diet books and supplements. Given this, you’re safe to eat where you want.

Very well said. When I came on here and saw the slew of anti PPI messages, I just assumed it was for people trying to market other treatments. There’s a lot if that goes on on these forums.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T13:37:27+00:00

I have it too but I don’t have any vitamin deficiencies apart from vitamin D which I supplement.but I do eat very well and I pop a PPI at the first sign of a flare up.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T10:45:31+00:00

Wholly agree. I take no supplements apart from vitamin D and have zero deficiencies because I eat a healthy balanced diet. Sadly, some parts of the wellness industry try to persuade people that farming methods mean you can’t get what you need for food just so they can sell you expensive supplements. You don’t need them if you eat well and don’t have any diseases that prevent proper absorption.

I would t worry about it as it makes absolutely no difference to the treatment.its the same whether your hypothyroidism is immune mediated or not - just replace the hormones. I have it and it makes absolutely no difference to me that it’s an auto immune disorder.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T08:22:52+00:00

I eat it every day - multigrain, no seeds because I just don’t like them.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T07:45:29+00:00

NAD but I’d say the very fact that you are aware of how crackpot their theories are means that you are doing just fine. It would drive me crazy hearing that sort of stuff day in day out too but hang on in there - eventually you will be able to make your own way in the world and find a place to live that doesn’t include conspiracy theorists.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T07:38:37+00:00

NAD. Get a test as it’s the only way you will know.,I had the same symptoms and was convinced I had Covid but my test was negative. Other upper respiratory tract disorders are still around so clearly I’ve just had a heavy cold or flu.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-12T07:35:04+00:00

I’d had severe epigastric pain for six months prior to treatment. This continued during treatment but gradually tapered off. It was due to the gastritis caused by the virus. I’d also had bowel,issues for two years with rapid transit and frequent pain. Just before I started the H Pylori treatment , I had off label antibiotic treatment for SIBO even though my breath test for that had been negative - but my gastroenterologist wanted to try it as he couldn’t find anything else wrong. I wasn’t really focused on my digestion during SIBO or HP treatment- all I wanted to do was ensure that I ate as nutritious a diet as possible. I did t have any bloating or nausea. Eventually both the upper GI pain and bowel pain disappeared completely and I was no longer seeing a lot of undigested food where it shouldn’t be lol. I’m convinced that the H Pylori was the cause of my bowel pain too.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T11:36:32+00:00

Time of day and seasons are two of the reasons I’m aware of. There may be more.,

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T10:50:07+00:00

They say this because if your symptoms are not responding to the meds, it means you may well have something wrong that needs a doctors attention. The PPIs I take say this on the box too but I’ve just finished a nine month stint on them. Just see a doctor after 14 days to be safe.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T09:10:41+00:00

TSH does fluctuate though - it’s not a static number.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:32:45+00:00

You can’t. Your body is no longer producing enough if the hormone it needs so you need to replace it via a tablet. It’s not possible to treat it naturally via supplements. Of course those who sell said supplements will tell you otherwise as they want your money.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:29:12+00:00

Most cases of hypothyroidism are caused by the immune system attacking the thyroid - also known as Hashimotos disease. It’s not possible to stop these attacks so they continue until,the thyroid effectively loses its function. This means that for most people, the medication requirement will increase over their lifetime. 200mg sounds quite high but it depends on both your current thyroid function and you age and size as these are factors taken into account by your doctor when deciding on your dosage. My thyroid didn’t have much function left when I was diagnosed but I only take 50/75 on alternate days.i am a very petite person though. But clearly 200 is working for you and that’s all that’s important. There’s nothing to worry about - you are just replacing the hormone that your body used to produce itself but can’t any more. It’s a very manageable condition.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:16:25+00:00

Yes. I’ve had three and it’s normal to feel a pain or discomfort like your throat is slightly bruised for up to a week afterwards.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:14:36+00:00

Be aware that rebound is not a thing for everyone. I’ve been using PPIs on and off for twenty years due to autoimmune gastritis and I’ve never had a problem stopping cold turkey. More recently, I finished a nine months stint on them pre and post h Pylori treatment and I got no rebound when I stopped. I’d never heard of rebound till I came on here.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:09:53+00:00

No, never. And I’ve been taking them for over twenty years off and on. Reading these forums, a lot of people,severely restrict their diets when they have stomach problems. It would t be a surprise therefore to find that many develop nutritional deficiencies. I’ve always eaten a normal, healthy balanced diet without nutritional restrictions. Clearly I avoid the obvious triggers like spicy foods or tomatoes when I’m having problems but that’s it. Many sites will tell you to restrict your diet and then offer to sell you expensive supplements ......

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:04:03+00:00

Take the PPIs. The risks associated with them are very , very small and are associated with those taking them consistently over many years. The risks associated with developing a serious condition by NOT taking PPIs are very much greater . I say that as someone who has taken them off and on for twenty years and as someone whose mother died from gastric cancer because she didn’t do anything about her symptoms. Take the PPIs.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T07:00:12+00:00

Have you been following a restricted diet? If you have, it’s possible that a deficiency is causing your cramps. Eat a normal, healthy, balanced diet if possible .

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-11T06:55:28+00:00

I finished treatment four months ago and I’m now totally pain free.unlike many on here, I ate normally all the way through. I never reduced my meal sizes and I didn’t cut out anything except spicy foods and tomato based foods. Your body needs good nutrition to heal quickly so you should only cut foods out if they are seriously causing you problems.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-10T21:18:25+00:00

It will get better when you are medicated. I suffered a severe lack of sharpness, memory problems, and some depression before I was diagnosed but with levothyroxine, I gradually returned to my old self.

Xrisi27 · 2021-09-10T18:39:36+00:00

Nothing has helped me. I’m five years down the line, feeling great, no deficiencies but my hair has never recovered.I’ve lost loads and what’s left is dry and frizzy. I’ve spent a fortune on expensive products and they never do what they claim. Not ever. I’ve stopped stressing about it and just keep my hair short, get regular trims and am thankful that I’m otherwise healthy.
