I developed graves after my 3rd baby. My doctor was going to put me on an anti anxiety meds but my naturopath along with another MD got me on some good thyroid and adrenal supplements. I also had to take a good look inward and realize that I needed to start caring for myself better and resting way more! And not OVERLOOK myself. And eating healthier. It took a few months to start getting better . There is hope!

From my understanding, a procedure (eg RAI) does not cure Grave's Disease. Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease. I don't think this is clear to many... including doctors or endocrinologist who do not often address the Grave's Disease. RAI treats the attack on the thyroid but the underlying illness is still there. This is why so many Grave's Disease patients still have so many issues including anxiety, fatigue, etc even after 'treatment'.

​@user-eg9kf6wq2dI know it isn't who you were looking to for an answer, but I would assume that kefir is off the table at least for the first 6-12 months as it is usually cow's milk based. I have seen some that are made with oat milk instead, but again, if you are having a lot of issues it is probably best to avoid even certified gluten free oats for some time as many grains and cereals tend to aggravate Graves. I hope I was able to help.

I am soo impressed with this. I had to look into this for my daughter in 2019 and there was NO information for food and graves at the time. After six blood tests showing she was progressively getting worse they said she won’t be able to live without Methimazole. I was already following Dr Ken Berry, other doctors, RNs and MANY other people with thyroid and insulin related conditions and so many auto-immune diseases. I asked my daughter if she wanted to try a strict diet removing all of the things you mention. Suddenly, her next labs from 2022-2022 have all come back negative for Graves’. She will always have Graves’ but she isn’t suffering or risking her liver or kidneys or needing to be on a ‘close watch’ as they say for patients taking Methimazole. I didn’t want the radiation. The surgery/removal. Or the medication with it’s side-effects. Ill tell ya.. There’s minimal help out there because even in the medical community the thyroid is still a ‘mystery’ and there’s so much fear. I found a thousand zillion videos on Hashimotos but not Graves.’

Can you tell me more about the diet. I am going on over a year after anti-thyroid medication. I am off of that, but I haven't been watching my diet at all. My doctor told me and many others that diet doesn't matter. I am so desperate to stop having the racing heart and panic attacks that I am really considering RAI or surgery. I do understand those come with risks. I am just so tired and also under a severe amount of stress. I know that is making it a lot worse. Before I do a life threatening surgery or radioactive pill, I need to try this. Giving up caffeine, alcohol gluten and cleaning out my cabinets I need to try to do this. the medication isn't too bad it made me really really tired at times btw. I wish you both the best of luck.

My daughter had Graves in her high school junior year. The doc told her she will lose her thyroid completely in 2years 😢 But, I dealt with it using Chinese herbal medicine that is specially prescribed to her. Her symptoms are going away and the tests are coming back normal. Her fast heart rate is normal and her angry mood is much better. Of course, she still will have her bad mood days once a month . I also restricted her diet. It is more about the method of cooking that I found was giving her trouble than the food. So... She is not eating fried food, BBQ food, spicy food... The diet seems working😂😂😂 But, We have to be very strict about what she eats, especially about eating out. Hope this will help and you will get better. It is all a matter of getting your diet in control.

I figured out what my best heart rate was in order to get my best TSH levels. Now, I keep a blood pressure cuff that has a heartbeat and an A Fib detector on it. If my heart rate starts getting too high for too many days, I know I need to go to the doctor. And, that way I don’t get out of control. The longer you’re out of control the harder it is to get back to normal and becomes difficult. Know what your best heart rate is when your TSH is normal And keep it there.

Put us most nutrients as possible and shakes and drink it every day!! Meditate get your stress level down. It’s a must with Graves. It’s autoimmune anything that’s going to bring your cortisol ups, gonna make autoimmune worse. Meditate and definitely work out even if it’s just walking with a weighted vest.!!!

You still have it because auto immune is for life. You can put it on remission, but removing the target doesn't solve the root cause. You have to find out why your antibodies are still high. Mycotoxins/mold from foods was my issue. Non organic coffee, nuts, grains especially corn can be loaded with ochratoxin a.
@drwestinchilds
@drwestinchilds 3 года назад
The autoimmune dysfunction may remain but once the thyroid has been removed the target of the immune attack is also gone which usually results in reduced thyroid antibodies. Some people consider this "curative" even though the underlying immune dysfunction remains. Graves' eye disease is different from the hyperthyroid state, even though they can come together. Once your thyroid has been removed you are functionally hypothyroid, not hyperthyroid. These are important points that trip up many patients with Graves' disease but they are very important to understand.

I have been given the highest dose of t4 then the lowest still felt like I had water in my lungs, swollen body due to water retention i refused to take t4 and went on t3 only lost the water weight and could climb a steep hill without gasping for breath.

I have Graves’ disease I had to cut out caffeine because I was having so many ventricular ectopics it was like 12 percent of my heart beats I’m now on medication for it bisoprolol. Interesting my thyroid levels have gone back to normal atm and my medicine is being reduced to 5mg carbimazol daily my thyroid specialist said the treatment is for a year and a half. I guess after that I will come of my medicine if my levels still behave she did mention the word remission but am I just medically induced remission at the moment ? Because my body may not know how to do it without the medicine. I thought graves is autoimmune and can never be cured. So is remission like a dormant volcano which could come back in the future ? I will try to follow this advice with next gluten removal I think as next easiest step. I tried histamine intolerance diet and it was ok all just mostly fresh foods but I love tomatoes lol 😂 my doctor said to try it before my diagnosed ventricular ectopics. It all started all of this after I got covid in 2020, I’m 29 female from 🇬🇧 uk

I'm not sure why hyperthyroid has to be treated. It increases energy requirements, and calcium turnover, but otherwise seems harmless. Eye problems seem to be mild if at all. But methimazole seems harmless. It is apparently an iron chelator. So it could actually normalize rather than suppress thyroid. The dosage of methimazole, for an iron chelator, is pretty low at a few mg, but it could be that the first effect of iron chelation is on the thyroid. Also a cat study for hyperthyroid used a 10x larger dose that was effective. I read a lot of overhyped side effects of pre 2000 studies on methimazole (skin rash..) when doctors still loved to nuke your thyroid with radioactive iodine. Tbh I'm getting the impression that there was a scramble of papers trying to show that higher doses were not more effective (when some papers did show higher doses were more effective). And they settled on a low dose in practice. As if to lower the chance of a successful outcome. So that the patient was more likely to resort to surgery. Regarding the recommendations on food, I don't see any research saying that food sensitivities have anything to do with thyroid function, or dairy in particular, or nuts. Rather the literal exact opposite: vegan and lacto ovo diets had lowest risk of hyperthyroid Prevalence of hyperthyroidism according to type of vegetarian diet, 2014 Caffeine does not affect thyroid.
@carmenripalda3849
@carmenripalda3849 3 года назад
Graves disease can be hyper or hypo, according to the antibodies activity. Someone who had the thyroid removed or killed with iodine STILL has Graves disease. They are no longer hyper, but they can have antibodies anyway, this means they have Graves for life. Lets not confuse Graves with hyperthyroid.
@drwestinchilds
@drwestinchilds 3 года назад
It's usually the case that antibodies decrease after surgical removal/RAI as the site of antibody attack is eliminated. This isn't always true but it tends to happen more than not. But, you are correct in that the autoimmune component of Graves' is different from the hyperthyroid component.
@carmenripalda3849
@carmenripalda3849 3 года назад
@@drwestinchilds thank you for your reply. Is it true that Graves attacks TSH receptors, therefore creating issues all over the body where these receptors are? It doesn't really attacks the thyroid directly, that's why it doesn't destroy it, like Hashimoto's, which is really a specific thyroid disease... making Graves a systemic disease. The over simplification of a rare disease turning it in being hyperthyroid only, has caused many patients to be wrong treated, therefore having an awful quality of life. So what to do if I'm hypothyroid after a harsh treatment with high doses of tapazole which left me worse, and with active Graves anyway? I'd be grateful if I could chat further with you about options.

Can you clarify the methimazole being bad for your body and not ok long term. I can't bring myself to remove my thyroid when so many people complain of significant weight gain and fatigue and of being ignored and dismissed by their doctors and specialists. I read that there hasn't been long term studies on methimazole use but specialists find patients do well. I also read that the rate of remission increases up to 80% with 10 years use vs 50% on 18 months use (when specialists usually start pushing for definitive treatment). Can you clarify any of this as well

I'll make a video on the topic in the future to elaborate. Those studies you cited are mostly correct but it's not the methimazole doing the healing, it's other factors. There's nothing magical about methimazole that reverses hyperthyroidism, it just hides the symptoms while your body heals itself.
