Hashimoto disease/ hypothyroid ..anyone?

Seems more women are diagnosed with thyroid problems these days!

I have Hashimoto which is your antibodies slowly killing off the thyroid.

For 4 yrs I was on Armour, until about a year ago, I noticed hair loss, nail breakage showed up even earlier.

Now moved to Fl, with a new doctor, he has perscribed levothroxine....just one week on the new med.

My question: Are you following any special diet?

I've been told in the past...limit gluten.

Now I hear veggies such as broccolli, culiflower, kale limit the bodies ability to prodce iodine which is already low.

Gee...what next? Help!
