What Diet Is Best Hashimotos And An Unspecified Autoimmune Disorder?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbus, OH

So, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos's disease, which is a form of Hypothyroidism. And last year was diagnosed with an unspecified autoimmune disorder. I was sent to Rheumatologist due to the fact that had a positive ANA, which normally signals Lupus, but he doesn't think it's Lupus and is treating me with Plaquinil (which is a treatment of Lupus). I'm not sure what diet, or better yet, lifestyle change would be best for me. Please anybody, I need some help deciding. Thank you.

Jodi, the friend that put me on to the Paleo lifestyle started it for herself when she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and had had a great deal of success in managing her symptoms.

Thanks. That's how I feel. I need to think about food in a different way

If it appeals to you, do a lot of reading. And recipe hunting. Pinterest is a great resource, but not every recipe that says "Paleo" on there is. But, if you have done your homework, you'll know how to substitute ingredients so that it is. I'm still learning myself, and for me it took learning a new way to think about food.
