Episode 23: How gluten impacts Hashimoto's & hypothyroidism

Contrary to popular belief, gluten intolerance is not a fad. Rates of gluten intolerance have risen dramatically due to many factors of industrialization. Unsurprisingly, significant links exist between gluten and autoimmunity, particularly Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. People with Hashimoto's low thyroid are more genetically prone to gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. Standard gluten sensitivity testing misses about 20% of positive cases because they only test for alpha gliadin. In truth, people can react to multiple compounds in wheat, which should be included in immune reactivity testing. Testing should also screen for the transglutaminase antibodies typically seen in celiac disease, a more destructive form of gluten sensitivity. Learn more in this podcast about how to correctly identify a gluten sensitivity and follow a gluten-free diet to better manage your Hashimoto's or other autoimmune disease.To learn more, visit the site or the online Hashimoto's: Solving the Puzzle course page.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/solving-the-puzzle-with-dr-datis-kharrazian.
