[QUOTE="Sabine, post: 620126, member: 17639"] Well, my sources are just what you find when you google Hashimoto's and gluten. You'll find a TON of people all saying pretty much the same thing. However, the mainstream medical field does not make the correlation. It may be just that there haven't been studies done, or the studies were inconclusive. Usually once there is hard science that proves a theory like this wrong, it will be well published as debunked. Haven't found anything like that either. I did find one study that is interesting. Those with adult-onset autoimmune diabetes were found to have significantly more thyroid autoantibodies and gluten antibodies than those with type 2 diabetes. Here's the link: [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1808742/[/url] What we don't know is what came first? There are so many people that are saying they have thyroid(and other autoimmune) disease, began eating gluten-free, and now feel much better. Even without hard scientific evidence, it seems like a no-brainer to at least give the diet a try. If a few months of gluten-free eating doesn't make a person feel better, she can always start eating it again ;) [/QUOTE]
