My eldest daughter that is crazy about carbs was diagnosed with thyroid disease. Her doctor recommended cutting out soda, and carbs to see if it straightens out. She went gf, cut out soda two months ago and her thyroid is fine now.

Do you know a place I could read more on that? I couldn't find anything on his website. Thanks!

Nope. I asked him in person at the March ASW. I have seen other references, that explain that it's an auto immune reaction, but nothing to link to.

Just to clarify, as this did not sound entirely correct to me, I asked Dr Goldhamer this morning and here is his response...
"....most hypothyroid is hashimotos and that some hashimotos share a gene (HLADQ) that is also common to patients with gliaden sensitivity. There is a theory that patients with this gene (1% show celiac) may have their immune system attack their thyroid (not necessarily the colon) and be associated with hashimotos. Like all autoimmune disease it is the immune system attacking itself."
