Looking for any info on diet with relation to hashimotos hypothyroid and candida. I was diagnosed hypo ten years ago and take levothyroxine but have noticed little to no improvement in my original symptoms despite my levels all being normal or optimal (inc T3). I am very thin and suffer with hives, insomnia, hairloss. I have often wondered about diet and have trialled gluten free with minor improvements and recently trialled non dairy (saw no difference). Unfortunately after returning to eating dairy I developed severe IBS symptoms (daily loose stools and wind sorry tmi!!) and oral thrush which has been treated twice with medication with no improvement. Two weeks of no dairy/ gluten did not impact on the IBS or thrush so I have tried to return to eating some dairy and gluten low fibre (not very healthy I know) as I am underweight. I have read lots about the candida diet but am frightened to restrict myself again after what happened with non dairy and because of my low BMI. I have cut my sugar intake drastically but noticed no difference in the thrush. Am quite scared too because apparently oral thrush usually is only found in those with compromised immune systems (?!). Should mention I had my baby five months ago so this could be linked. Any help/ advice welcome?
