Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.

Question for you ladies. I'm negative for antibodies indicating Hashi's. I've read that 10-15% you can be negative but still have auto-immune. Thyroid issues do run in my family (paternal aunt and grandmother). So should I still quit gluten? Don't want to do it unless totally necessary.

There's a great deal of research linking gluten with inflammation. So, even if you don't have Hashi's - and have some other inflammatory process working on your thyroid (which you do) it can only help.
Simply substitute white things with other things that are heavier, but fewer in calories. Like sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. Like lettuce as a "wrap" instead of bread. After a while...bread will taste obnoxious.
I have read that many of us should be on a "gluten free" diet and by gosh you just don't know what's in wheat these days, anyway.
GMO anyone?
All the best.
Also, be aware that gluten is in skincare and body products!
