Chronic Hashimoto's Symptoms: Seeking Advice

Have had hashimotos since I was 10. 10 years later and I’m running into symptoms and just have no clue what’s going on. It’s been going on for 3 years. Ive went gluten free, dairy free and soy free (w/ the very rare mistake) Symptoms - * next to ones that bother most: Diarrhea* Fatigue Sinus infections* White tongue* Puffy face Brain fog Joint pain This has been going on for 3 years now. There’s days where I feel normal. Pink tongue, clear sinuses, high energy - but most days I don’t. things I’ve considered: SIBO, Candida, or just general leaky gut. I did a GI maps stool test gut dybosis came back at 9/10. Other areas is normal. I’m currently on a protocol for Candida (self-diagnosed) but this product called restore 3 looks promising for what I’m going through. Things that make my condition worse: Smoking - immediately get infection Alchohol, junk food, snacking, sugar/carbs -triggers white tongue What’s going on? I feel chronically unwell for the past few years. Before that I was fine. I got my tonsils and adenoids removed. Maybe that lowered my immunity? I’m not sure

These are all symptoms of your hoshimotos it means it's active. Have you had your thyroid checked recently? Maybe your medication needs an adjustment check your thyroid numbers.

I definitely sympathize with you as I feel the same exact way. My thyroid levels are always in normal range. Sometimes removing a lot of things from your diet isn’t necessarily the way to go unless you have a food allergy or food sensitivity. I tried going gluten and dairy free and I just didn’t see a difference to warrant the amount of change it presented in my daily life. I would seek out an endocrinologist. Because you have one autoimmune disease, you are more prone to developing others.
