Hello.
I have Hasphimoto's thyroiditis, which was diagnosed about 6 years ago, after the birth of DC1.
I have only recently learned that I should not be eating gluten, after seeing a nutritionist, and am annoyed that I wasn't told this when I was first diagnosed. Anyway, I know now, so have been eating gluten free for the last 4 months. I think I have had the odd exposure, but on the whole have managed to avoid it.
The nutritionist has given me details of an auto-immune diet, and I was wondering if anyone else is following one of these and whether you'd be happy to share some food ideas with me.
At the moment I feel like an elderly person. My joints ache. I have no energy. I have had my annual blood tests done and they show my TSH and T3 levels are at a good level, but I still feel like poo!
I don't eat well which I know is the problem but I spend most of my time just completely lethargic and lacking in any interest or motivation esp when it comes to food for me, so we live on cheap ready meals, like risotto. I'm stuck in a rut and need some hell from a real life person who is actually going through, or has gone through this.
My pnutritionist is lovely and I will ask her for help, but thought I'd ask here first.
Many thanks in advance.
