Natural Healing for Autoimmune Thyroiditis with Food Allergies - #36413

Hello Ioana, Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) occurs when the body’s immune system starts attacking its own thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and eventual slowing of thyroid function.

The presence of high anti-TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibodies) indicates autoimmune activity — even if thyroid hormone levels (T3, T4, TSH) are still normal.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

Ayurveda aims to balance Kapha and Vata dosha while enhancing metabolism and immune tolerance.

1 Kanchanar Guggulu 1-0-1 twice daily after meals with lukewarm water (Helps regulate thyroid size and function.)

2 Ashwagandha Capsule 1-0-1 after food Adaptogenic herb — supports thyroid, reduces stress, improves energy. Can balance cortisol and improve immune resilience.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Since you already started avoiding gluten and sugar — that’s a great step. Continue and expand to an anti-inflammatory, gut-healing diet as gut health is closely tied to autoimmune conditions.

✅ Foods to Include

Warm, freshly cooked meals — easy to digest and soothing. Gluten-free grains: Red rice, quinoa, amaranth, millet (ragi, bajra). Healthy fats: Cow ghee (clarified butter), olive oil, flaxseed oil. Vegetables: Cooked (not raw) – especially bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach, carrot, beetroot. Fruits: Papaya, pomegranate, apple, berries, guava. Herbs & spices: Turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger (mild), black cumin (kalonji). Protein sources: Mung dal, green gram, lentils, soaked almonds, seeds (pumpkin, chia, sunflower). Probiotics: Homemade buttermilk (diluted curd if tolerated), sauerkraut, or vegan probiotic capsules.

❌Foods to Avoid

Gluten (wheat, barley, rye) — triggers autoimmune flare. Dairy products (if allergic/intolerant) — especially cold milk, cheese, ice cream. Refined sugar and white flour. Soy & soy-based products — can suppress thyroid. Nightshades: Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers (if they worsen inflammation). Cold, packaged, processed foods.

✅LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

👉Morning Drink a glass of warm water with lemon or 1 tsp aloe vera juice to clear Ama.

Gentle yoga: Setu Bandhasana (bridge pose), Matsyasana (fish pose), Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) — all stimulate thyroid region.

Pranayama: Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), Bhramari (humming bee breath).

👉 Evening

Avoid late-night meals. Practice Yoga Nidra or 10 minutes of mindful breathing before bed.

✅ADDRESSING FOOD ALLERGIES

Since food sensitivities are part of autoimmune thyroiditis:

Identify and eliminate common triggers (via observation or allergy test): gluten, dairy, soy, corn, peanuts.

Strengthen gut lining with Aloe vera juice (15 ml morning) or L-glutamine (under guidance).

Include Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime for bowel and microbiome balance.

Antibody reduction and energy improvement take 3–6 months of consistent lifestyle, herbs, and diet.

Recheck Anti-TPO, TSH, and Vitamin D every 4–6 months.

Stay positive and manage stress — emotional balance directly influences autoimmune stability.

Wishing you a good health😊

Thank you loans for reaching out and sharing your condition with such honesty What you have mentioned- raised ATPO levels with otherwise normal thyroid hormones shows that the thyroid gland is being affected by an autoimmune process at a very early stage In ayurveda this is often linked to imbalance in Agni and improper immune tea caused by ama and disturbed vat and kapha dosha

The first and most essential step is to correct digestion and reducing food triggers Continue avoiding gluten and refined sugar as they create heaviness and mucus in the system Avoid cold milk sour yogurt bakery items fried items Take warm fresh cooked meals Red rice millet moong dal bottle gourd ridge gourd pumpkin green leaf vegetable turmeric cumin ginger Drink warm water throughout the day Hingwastaka churna 1/2-0-1/2 tsp after meals if indigestion Kanchanar guggulu 1-0-1 Ashwagandha churna 0-0-1/2 tsp Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime Practice pranayama meditation yoga Take 1 tsp of cow ghee daily
