Hashimotos Thyroitis

[Elaina]

He’ll all. M wondering if anyone has had improved thyroid help following the McDougall plan? When I was first diagnosed with Hashimotos I researched suggested dietary changes. It seemed like they were pushing fish, dairy, bone broth (yuck) and recommend avoiding all nightshade vegetables.

Hi Elaina,

Please check out this information from Dr. McDougall on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and the Thyroid in general:

I hope this helps you,

I have low thyroid. After about four months on the McDougall starch solution the amount of thyroid in my blood was too high, so they had to cut the amount of thyroid supplement I take in half. I don't know of any other reason for the change, as I have been hypothyroid for most of my life. I'm happy about that, and hoping that maybe I'll be able to get off thyroid pills altogether some day. I'll just keep pressing on.

They say you can't heal thyroid issues, but sometimes you can at least improve them by eating the McDougall way.

I hope you have good results too.

Thank you for the links! I’m going to get my thyroid retested it’s been 3 years. So I know where I’m at.. and I’ll stick with starch solution based eating

Great call. The Starch Solution and McDougall way of eating has a proven track record!

Cheers,
