Thyroid Diet Mistakes You Need to Avoid

When we talk about low thyroid, there are certain things that can contribute to it. One of the things that can cause low thyroid is the food we eat. Some foods like gluten, dairy, and sugar can increase inflammation in our body and disrupt our thyroid function. So, changing our diet and avoiding these foods can help improve our thyroid condition.
There have been studies that show a positive effect of a gluten-free diet on thyroid function and inflammation. Additionally, excessive consumption of sugar substitutes and coffee can also impact thyroid function. It's important to be aware of these factors and make healthy choices in our diet.

I have hypothyroidism, Sjorgens Syndrome, severe allergies and rheumatoid arthritis. Not one MD mentioned changing my diet with me. I learned to avoid gluten, dairy and sugar on my own and with my naturopath.

[@MT-vi4le]

None what's os ever,just put on levothyroxin.😢

[@boorose9853]

Naturopath doctors often can work with patients without pharmaceutical medicine side affects!

[@lizzk1288]

I waited almost 6 months for my 1st endocrinologist appt. He practically rolled his eyes at me when i said i had gone grain free and it had already helped me feel better. He said it had nothing to do with it.

[@RosellaHomecare]

lizzk1288, In my experience when someone is so dismissive & all knowing it is very likely that you are dealing with a narcissist, sociopath or psychopath. Those types of people can't be trusted with anything. Find better doctor who cares(an empath) & give them your custom/hard earned money.

[@lizzk1288]

@@RosellaHomecare Im working on it! Hes literally the only endo in my area but luckily we can now choose doctors from all over the place! Im scoping out a few and will pick one soon. A functional medicine dr who specializes in thyroid and Hashimotos.

[@joannthomases9304]

Really scary to hear that isn't it !

[@SirenASMR_]

He sounds like my mom who is a narcissist

[@blondsinger38]

Had Hoshimotos, my doctor never discussed my diet with me but he did say he thought I had autoimmune disease. My Functional Medicine practitioner told me to continue my gluten free diet after I determined on my own that I should. My thyroid numbers went from 26 down to 2 after I stopped eating all grains. My Vitamin D levels went up as well.

[@bettybiese8745]

My endocrinologist poopooed me when I told him I was going wheat free. Of course this was 10+ years ago. I have since gotten a different doctor.

[@alexisgrace8218]

Of course coffee is mentioned as I’m drinking a cup of coffee.

[@laurielaurie8280]

I was diagnosed with low thyroid 36yrs ago and I have never had any doctor mention to me about changing my diet to improve my thyroid health.

[@janice2992]

In 25 years of having an under active thyroid and M.E, my doctor never told me to stop eating wheat. I found out on line. I had a test done privately that said I have intolerance to yeast and dairy. Its been hard to give up these foods because I love cheese and bread. I had been taking vitamin D supplements but still got very low. Thank you for your great channel ❤

[@veggiechefCD]

Took synthroid for 5 yrs when first dx’d that was 27 yrs ago, stopped when I found it was hashi’s. Too much iodine can also wreak havoc as a naturopath told me to take iodine supplements, my thyroid swelled golf ball size. That was yrs ago. A couple weeks ago I ate too much seaweed and it swelled thyroid nodules so I’m dealing with symptoms. Didn’t know that the overload of iodine in seaweed could cause these problems too.

[@laurielaurie8280]

Also beware of iodine in your multivitamins.

[@joannthomases9304]

Thank you !!!! Veeeery much !

[@SirenASMR_]

Yup I don’t touch that crap … because it makes me swell

[@tonimarieklavin7759]

I was told I had hypothyroidism after I had my third child. I used to Synthroid for almost 20 years and then I moved to another state and was setting up with another doctor to manage my thyroid when I went back to see her a week later after the blood tests, she said, why didn’t you tell me that you had Hashimoto’s? I just said what is that? Went almost 20 years and nobody had ever done an antibody test for me. I’ve also heard that MD’s study about 12 hours nutrition to become a physician so it’s no wonder they don’t discuss it.

[@lindsyphillips823]

Diet has never come up during dr appts. Mostly you hear “ it’s probably genetics” ! Lucky for me that i am proactive when it comes to eating healthy. Thank you for all your great information.

[@phylenejanousek2740]

Doctors don’t talk nutrition

[@anteandrovic]

because its a conflict of interest...

[@SirenASMR_]

Yup cuz they want us all sick

[@betty8173]

None of my 6 doctors for my autoimmune illnesses ever said diet. 10 years struggling for a diagnosis. Now, 10 years past starting grain free, I am still struggling. Just had nutra-eval, my np said my diet was great, but I was low C, lots of others too! I do 2 of your powders a day, and 2 capsules a day! So many nutritional deficiencies of foods that I eat tons of, so, she now wants a gi map... so glad you do at least 2 videos every week, and more, and I am rereading No Grain No Pain. Thank you, God bless you.

[@mweb1]

MDs never talk about diet change.

[@jwonTh]

They don't get paid for it but rather get paid from meds prescription😂😂😂

[@sunnyday7843]

Mine discouraged me from quitting processed foods - asthma and hashimotos - now I believe I have to cut out my GFDF lectin free bread as my poor tummy is still bloated etc.

[@susannekreger4167]

Doctor immediately prescribed Synthroid. I felt that it saved my life. He didn't discuss diet, but I did some research on my own and heard that certain foods inhibited absorption of the hormone.

[@daisycofresi7252]

My Doctor gave me a medication and l got palpitations when l took it. I called him and he said go immediately and take a blood test. He said he had nothing he could do for me. I could not believe it. The best doctor there was.😢

[@o.o99]

Very weird, it was when I went low carb or carnivore diet, my thyroid was the lowest, now back to normal 100% home cooked meals, feeling better, and drinking coffee makes my throat weird afterwards.

[@lmwlmw4468]

Great info Doctor.

[@nikkinounou8355]

Never did the Doctors talk about diet,or advise me on nutrition.

[@idoiam.2351]

👏👏👏👏👏 always beyond the other docs

[@bradleybenz5664]

Does zero sugar include fruit? thank you, God bless

[@elenaortega5459]

Nope. She said that taking synthroid for 4 months usually balanced my thyroid because the reading was small. I didn't take it and never saw her again

[@Kittlyn]

I got diagnosed with hashimotos in my teenage and since I stopped gluten and dairy my TSH is low as it should be and my thyroid doesn't hurt and I don't have to take hormones anymore for years!!! My sister and grandma never stopped and their thyroid is still bad

[@kday9438]

What do you eat ? No meds.,ever ? Thanks in advance !

[@SirenASMR_]

Yup sounds like my abusive mother who won’t stop with her bad diet and tried to push it on me . I can’t est any gluten it ruins me

[@dgator3599]

Wondering if decaf coffee would be okay instead of regular coffee?

[@8sonrisa8]

What about fermented cabbage? Making my own probiotic that I eat about 2 Tbsp per day?

[@ffollari299]

Went gluten free on my own. It’s helped. Also saw your video on yeast. Another problem dr’s don’t know anything about I find the answer to both is the keto and or carnivore diet

[@sherleengibb9454]

Not once did my doctor mention diet. I am stuck not being able to loose weight .

[@tonimarieklavin7759]

I’ve recently learned that most MDs in medical school study between eight and 12 hours of nutrition. No doctor ever discussed thyroid food changes with me and I went almost 20 years before a doctor actually did an antibody test. So I probably had Hashimoto’s all that time, but never knew it.

[@talk2deb]

On the coffee triggering immune response/inflammation…could it be a certain substance that is being sprayed on those crops, as it is with wheat?

[@evelyny7037]

There’s only one coffee brand that I feel safe to drink and Dr. O has given it a cautious thumbs up with very judicious use. I only have one cup a day. I have also had no trouble with purity coffee as far as any digestive upset, like I used to have with all the other brands even the organic ones. Just my experience…

[@anne-louisegoldie]

​@@evelyny7037Purity coffee, is that the name of the brand? 😊xx

[@evelyny7037]

Yes and there is some kind of a discount code for first time customers. I really love it and I have shared it with many of my family and friends. It doesn’t have that bitter taste of almost all other processed coffee that I’ve ever used. And you can buy it with no cad, 1/3 caff or special blends to support the liver and gut. I had really given up coffee for a time because it was messing with my digestion. So I was delighted to find this one. Hope that helps!

[@evelyny7037]

Sorry that should’ve said no caffeine, not no cad. There are several options.

[@anne-louisegoldie]

@@evelyny7037 thank you so much for the details, it sounds good 💛, I'll see if it's available here in the UK 😊xx

[@annbowman4255]

No, my Dr. did not speak to me about diet.

[@mantralife6620]

No doctor ever discussed diet with me and only tested TSH once a year

[@lorettachin8541]

Never

[@adaturner6070]

None!

[@julieellis6793]

Never had one talk about diet

[@MandyPS119]

Naturopath Dr put me on T4 only and I gained 20 lbs and felt suicidal. He then said having Hashimotos, i cant convert T4 to T3🤯. I took Dr Osborne's food sensitibity test to him and he said it wasnt necessary. I started on T3 only on my own and feel better. Dr also said its ok to eat rice, corn, other grains. Just not gluten. He said not to eat beef. He said just take a vacation. When stress really is one of the main causes of me having a thyroid storm.

[@julieellis6793]

Sounds like you need a new doctor

[@caitlinoneill4479]

None of my doctors, endocrinologists addressed the topic of foods to avoid. Levothyroxine made me gain weight daily, made me feel anxious. I quit taking it.

[@Kittlyn]

If anything, taking levothyoxine would cause weight loss.

[@stevierusso529]

Food is medicine!

[@anne-louisegoldie]

Me, a coeliac, very careful with my GF diet, listening while drinking my morning coffee 😮 At least the water here isn't fluoridised, not sure about bromine. Oh my goodness! 😊xx

[@minafathi7641]

Hi Doctor Is that ok to drink coffee hours after taking thyroid medication?

[@8sonrisa8]

Yes, sometimes. But not as specific as you. I have been on a gluten-free, almost no sugar diet. I found I can have raw A2 dairy, especially fermented. I want to get iff thyroid meds altogether.

[@moniquewightman1029]

Raw A2 milk from a cow ? Do you live in England ?

[@karenyoung5786]

I eliminated all grains, dairy, soy processed foods. My antibodies are over 600. Lost and kept off 10 lbs.

[@nylyessuh3056]

I got hypothyroidism and RA shortly after getting a hepatitis B vaccine, my doctor refused to see a connection, yet I was in excellent health prior to that

[@SirenASMR_]

Never get 💉 .. they are all so bad for your health

[@8sonrisa8]

How about one cup organic decaf coffee (non-chemically treated)? What about coconut sugar which doesn’t effect the pancreas?

[@isabelalder9998]

So IgA deficiency could be a cause to having very low or no antibodies even though one has hypothyroidism (& high TSH levels)?

[@ffollari299]

Docs don’t know about the yeast diet or what to do to correct it. Modern medicine is decades behind where it should be. I have both gluten and yeast problems

[@MarciaB12]

No doctor talked to me about diet ever

[@vassilikidavilla3084]

None M D. Listen to me even specialist. I have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

[@Florence-pq9pu]

No, just the meds

[@dorthatheda511]

I have thyroid nodul that grow with cyst, my hormon is normal, but is really anoying me with my breathing, and i pay so much money but there is no medication or whatever, my docter said only can be done with operation, any idea?

[@bediha]

That coffee and gluten similarity was interesting. Never heard of it. im gluten free well over a year, actually a carnivore with only a coffee exception, but i got a tiny improvement in terms of my autoimmune symptoms, not much. Could it be the coffee 😳

[@Kittlyn]

Try cutting out dairy completely for 3 months and see if it improved.

[@finakhan5221]

Never discussed.

[@judithyoast31]

None

[@jenniefesta9120]

No, they never mentioned diet.

[@tanaatkinson7833]

My sister is a Dr. and she insist that the active hormone is T4. Ugh! Only looks at TSH. She tells me to get on Thyroid hormone meds…. probably Levothyroxine!

[@SiriusStarGazer]

your sister is correct

[@anzoo78]

My endo told me diet has nothing to do with thyroid function and will not improve or worsen issues. I am looking for a new endo.

[@user-mq7ff1xo2x]

Nope. Not until I went GF on my own.

[@KatsCorner]

My doc put me on meds. That was that. I just dropped the meds and dropped the sugar, milk. Glutin free. I did this myself without a doctors intervention and added sardines. I am off all meds for every condition I had. It’s anasing beings 100 percent heathy at 62. I am keto carnivore btw.

[@julieellis6793]

I recently quit drinking my decaf coffee. Hopefully, my hashi flares will stop.

[@shahfarooq8106]

I am Farooq from Kashmir.Have low thyroid for last 20 years.Taking 75 mg thyroxine.Perhaps it is hashimoto

I am trying my a$$hole mom won’t stop bringing it into the house and then gets mad cuz I kept telling her the same thing . Stop with the gluten dairy and sugar pushing .
