Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or Hashimoto’s disease, is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies attack the essential structures inside the body instead of protecting them. In this case, the immune system malfunctions and targets the thyroid gland. If left untreated, it will continue to damage the thyroid and severely disrupt natural hormone production. About five percent of Americans live with this condition, which is a common cause of hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormone to meet the body’s needs.
Happy Hormone Cottage has created a comprehensive 90-day plan to address Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. It includes a targeted supplement regimen and requires removing gluten from your diet, as gluten is known to trigger the condition. Receiving a diagnosis as soon as possible is crucial for obtaining the proper treatment and addressing the symptoms.
A diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis requires a physical examination and a review of your medical history. Next, your doctor will order blood work to test for specific antibodies that could indicate that your autoimmune response is active and damaging your thyroid gland. Another indicator from your blood test is abnormal thyroid hormone levels.
