I am 59 and have had hashi for 30 yrs (that I know of). I did not know I was supposed to be gluten free until I was 55. At that time I had nutritional deficiency. I feel much better being gluten free
Finally! I have been searing for YEARS and this is the first time I've found anything that explains hashimotos and gluten in a way that I can understand it. THANK YOU!
I get it now!!! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's as a child (over 50 years ago). My parents were told I would just have to take a pill a day for the rest of my life. Not one doctor has ever told me about the effects of gluten on Hashimoto's disease. Sara, I have never been gluten free my whole life. Is there a point where the damage to my gut cannot be undone?
Wow...I finally understand how this works!..been eating a bit of gluten over the last two weeks for my birthday after being on keto/intermittent fasting and re versing my insulin resistance...my whole body feels like burning acid and my joints are sore...that's why I was looking for a vid on Hashis and the effect of gluten...thank you soo much for the help...
Great explanation, a bit long though waiting for you while you were writing. The drawings helped me understanding everything that I couldn’t understand before. My question is I have Hashimoto for 5 years ( at least) I went to a gluten free diet soon after researching about it. Why it’s not reversing after years of gluten free diet ?
I am using my husband's RU-vid ac to watch this. I have watched and read so much about hashimotos and gluten but no one came close to the way you explained it and are pushing me to give up gluten. Thank you so much doctor. Please please keep posting such valuable information. Would you also be able to talk about high BP n Thyroid as well as fluctuating levels of thyroid between hyper n hypo. Thank you with all my heart.
Thank you Sarah. That totally made sense to me. If I am allowed to make a suggestion is for you to do your drawings beforehand. I have shared your clip with family and I am very thankful that you shared your knowledge with us. God bless you, kisses from UK
Thanks for the tip! I agree I should probably re-record this video...I had no idea it would end up being so popular! :) I appreciate you watching and sharing. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you, your information has really helped me. Just started going gluten free and feel so much better. Also had to give up dairy for now, and also nightshade vegetables 😬
This is excellent video. I describe it as the intestinal walls become like bleeding skinned knees if i eat gluten. The drawing is helpful for all ages.
I loved the way you drew and explained the mechanism. I have a doubt. For a normal person, what does zonulin do to the gut? I mean most people don't have leaky gut issue though wheat (with gluten) is their staple food. How come zonulin doesn't affect their gut? I'm trying to understand the same mechanism in people with healthy gut.
Thank you so much for watching! Researchers have found that everyone in all groups, from celiac to non-celiac gluten sensitive to normal controls, all experienced increases in inflammatory markers and in markers of leaky gut when consuming gluten/wheat and the resultant increase of zonulin. Not everyone will have symptoms or go on to have autoimmune disease. There are many other factors that play a role.
I have low end of thyroid tests ime going to have my autoimmune antibodies done I have muscle pain everyday fybromyalgia in shoulders heals etc my father had CFS now ok
Do you have any recipes you lie for gluten free bread? My biggest obstacle in my family is that I have 2 boys and my husband who will not give up their bread in the morning at breakfast. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I am 59 and have Hashimotos. I am in month Six now of gluten and dairy free. As well as following the AIP. So grateful that I finally sought out a functional medicine doctor. This video is one that I will share with my family as it is presented in such a way that it is easy to understand. My concern is that my 33 year old son has been diagnosed with anklosing spondylitis. Is this information in your video pertinent to his autoimmunity as well?
Hi Sara thank you so much for explaining how gluten affects hashimoto. My son went in and got tested for gluten intolerance but the results came back negative. He has hashimoto. Does that mean that he can consume gluten?
Thanks for the explanation. I have a question: Is it only gluten or also oats, corn, rice, potato’s and other starchy foods that needs to be removed? (AIP)
It totally depends...If you are going AIP, yep, you will likely give up all of those. But, guess what - complex carbs are often really needed and important for those with Hashimoto's. They help with thyroid hormone production and conversion to the active T3. If you have lots of gut issues, then, AIP for a while to heal the gut and resolve food intolerances is a good choice. Also, oats are often cross contaminated with wheat - check this out: www.beyondceliac.org/gluten-free-diet/is-it-gluten-free/oats/
How long after stopping gluten does the gluten leave the thyroid receptors? What hapoens if you have 1 tiny bite of it? I did 30 days aip before taking communion at church... wondering if ive restarted the whole process.
typically yes! you do not have to test "positive" for gluten intolerance on a test to have gluten be an issue for your thyroid...the video explains the molecular mimicry...and how the presence of gluten confuses the body...hope that helps!
The one thing I don't get is...while we are trying to beat Hashimoto's with supplements and eliminating gluten and dairy and still taking the Levothyroxine. How do we know we're healed and don't need the meds?
Did something happen to wheat to cause these gluten issues? Like surely ancient wheat in bible times wasnt causing leaky guts? Is it a result of pesticides or something?
Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto this Friday on phone call... I didn't had chance to go to doctor yet because it's weekend. So I spend many hours on Internet looking for answers because i don't know what exactly is going on. I saw many articles that you have to give up gluten but also it could be dangerous. Is it? I dont know if I have or not intolerance to gluten but heard/read somewhere that if you go to gluten-free diet you could make intolerance to it... so i am comfused..
Hi there - if you have Hashimoto's you are likely already INTOLERANT to gluten, as I mention in the video. The connection with gluten and the thyroid starts with the digestive system and creating leaky gut. Thank you for watching - try outa GF diet and see how you feel! Take care.
I really appreciate your videos. I have hypothyroidism and am trying to get off pharma's. Is the gluten you refer to the store bought stuff? If I mill my own grain and make my own bread ok? Thank You. Phil
Hi, i’ve tpo antibodies so hashimotos, but don’t have problem consuming gluten or dairy, should I still avoid both? Wanted to know if this is only for people who are sensitive. I’m looking to lose weight.
Hello. i have questions? My doughter 12 years old she have hashimoto that what doctor says.,now for 1 year.is it possible you think remove gluten not all the way .may be eating little bit ones a week? Or its not gonna help with antibodies?Thank you.
Does all wheat have gluten? And does all gluten have zonulin? Dies it make a difference if the wheat is non- GMO? Great presentation, very informative. Thank you!
Anyone was able to be free anti-tg (or lowered to the point of restoring the normal TSH/T3/T4 production)? I was just diagnosed with Hashi, and I had massive consumption of gluten in the last 2/3 years, I'm quite sure. Shall I try it? Or it won't solve my problem at all. I don't feel like doing it, as this will be a massive change in my lifestyle unless you tell me otherwise :)
Everyone is different! Many of my clients start to notice a difference in how they feel after a few weeks of going 100% gluten free. For others, it can take months or even years depending on the damage to the gut, systemic inflammation or autoimmune damage to the thyroid. Thank you for watching.
What’s your opinion of einkorn wheat. I’ve heard some people say they can still use that wheat when avoiding gluten because the gluten it has is in a lower dose and different somehow. Any information on that?
uh, I say NO GLUTEN, and "lower" is still problematic for those of us with Hashimoto's...also I am a Celiac, so for me it's a no-go. Have you had food intolerance testing? Thanks for watching.
Sara Peternell Family Nutrition No I have never been tested. I’ve had hypothyroidism for 30 + years but never to told why or what type. So I’m about to find out on 10/6. My new doctor just told me about the link between thyroid and gluten. Which lead me to a RU-vid search that lead to this video
Is it possible to recover from Hashimoto if it was at the beginning of the disease and we follow a gluten-free diet? I mean, will the gland return to normal?
The glad can heal, yes! Every person is different. A lot depends on how low you have had Hashimoto's and how high your antibodies were. Going gluten free is always the best dietary choice for Hashimoto's. Thank you for watching!
@@SaraPeternell loved your explanation, but could u please help because I love homemade curds, can I at least hv curd?? Or even that's out in hashimoto?
@@Fitlover24 ...just heal yr gut by abstaining from these things for a while(she did say it could take a couple of years)... (but you can cheat and take supplements like slippery elm to make it heal faster).... And then...a bit of curd,paneer,doodh not gonna kill you occasionally.. like maximum once a week...that's what I reckon,but I m not a doctor.
The test I use in my office is the KBMO Diagnostics FIT test to understand a person's food intolerances along with the patterns and quantities of inflammatory foods - this usually gives a good idea of leaky gut. There are more advanced tests for complex digestive system cases too.
Sara I have hashimotos but my tag ,t3and t4 all normal but I have nodules on my thyroid I did gluten test I don’t have but I have psoriasis can you help me 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
