ADVICE

Avoid Gluten During Healing

  • Avoid gluten while healing from hyperthyroidism because it can increase gut permeability even without obvious reactions.
  • Consider testing for celiac or gliadin, but don't rely solely on food sensitivity tests, says Dr. Eric Osansky.
ADVICE

Take A Break From Dairy

  • Avoid dairy while healing because it's a common allergen that can harm the gut; ghee is the one exception.
  • Use food sensitivity tests cautiously and take a break from dairy during recovery, recommends Dr. Eric Osansky.
ADVICE

Limit Corn And Grains

  • Avoid corn and other grains while healing because they can be harsh on the gut, including gluten-free grains.
  • Dr. Eric Osansky notes grains can increase intestinal permeability and recommends limiting them during recovery.
