Here are my thyroid tests and results: T4 TOTAL THYROXIN: 12.7 (H) T UPTAKE: 0.75 FREE THYROXIN INDEX: 9.5 TSH, HIGH-SENSITIVITY: 2.978 T4 FREE: 1.31 T3 TOTAL (TRIIODGHYRONINE): 1.94 (H) MICROSOMAL AB (ANTI-TPO AB): 18.3 I'm not sure what they all mean

Tom, you worded my doctor's objective well. Far better than what I was doing. I think he believes corn & oats very well may be able to go back into my diet as well as dairy, but is wanting to get my gut healed up before introducing potentially reactive things.

Hi! I'm new to this...2 weeks since my blood diagnosis. I really thought, "well, just clean out the kitchen and pantry and go gluten-free...sure, it'll be tough, but you can do this." Famous last words. I'm overwhelmed and feel pretty alone. My doctor didn't just cut out gluten, but soy, dairy, nuts, nut flours, corn and oats because of Hashimoto...
