Because the molecular structure of gluten is almost identical to the molecular structure of thyroid tissue (why?), ingesting gluten can make the body say, "time to attack! who is this? and increase the autoimmune assault on the thyroid.
advice....
Get protein at each meal. Protein helps boost T3, your active thyroid hormone, and helps convert T4 to T3.
Get plenty of wholesome, dietary fat. Fat and cholesterol help build proper hormonal pathways.
Selenium, found primarily in Brazil nuts and sunflower seeds, helps boost T3 production. Zinc, copper, and iron are also important, as is a range of B vitamins, “the anti-stress vitamins.”
Vitamin D is particularly important, and most people are deficient. Not only does Vitamin D help transport thyroid hormone into our cells and help contribute to proper hormonal pathways (it’s actually a hormone, not a vitamin), it’s also an immune modulator, meaning that it can help modulate and regulate wayward immune function.
