Its not correct. You can eat anything which you had been eating since childhood. Its only for a few people who are sensitive to gluten and have problem digesting it that they should avoid gluten based food. Focus more on living a healthy life-style. Avoid all junk food ( which contain processed ingredients and added salt, sugar and preservatives.) Keep the body fit by exercising everyday for at least one hour. Make health a priority in life and soon you may find that the thyroid medicine may have to be reduced.

lybrate-user, Thanks for your query. Gluten in wheat and many other grains (cereals) can affect certain persons who are allergic to it. Otherwise it does not affect much. You will have to maintain TSH level around 3 to 4 mU. L, to be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Foods that should be avoided include soy beans and soy containing products. Thanks.
