I’m Allergic to Eggs, Dairy, Gluten, Nuts, and Soy?"},"content":{"rendered":"

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos way back in 2002. \u00a0At that time, my TSH was 55! \u00a0I was 6 months postpartum and was just hoping that it was temporary thyroiditis. \u00a0But that was not the case. \u00a0I have been taking some sort of thyroid replacement hormone ever since. \u00a0At the time, my doctor recommended eating a Paleo diet and no dairy.<\/p>\n

I made some dietary changes and my TSH came down to 5, but I still had symptoms and that is what started the road to thyroid replacement hormone.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to now. \u00a0I went for a check up with my doctor, the same one I saw 14 years ago when the initial diagnosis was made. \u00a0He talked to me about some food allergy tests and how a good bit of his patients were having these tests run to find out that they are allergic to a certain food. \u00a0Once they eliminated that food, their symptoms disappeared and some never even started hormone therapy. \u00a0He warned me that I might always have to take medication because my diagnosis was so long ago, but eliminating a food that my body was having trouble with might reduce symptoms and the risk of further autoimmune disorders. \u00a0So we ordered the tests.<\/p>\n

I received results yesterday. \u00a0To my surprise, the test shows eggs as a big allergen! \u00a0Also dairy, wheat and gluten, various nuts, and soybeans!<\/p>\n

We live on a farm! \u00a0What two things are here in abundance? \u00a0Milk, eggs, and wheat! \u00a0I guess on a good note, I can eat vegetables and meat, two additional items here on the farm.<\/p>\n

How am I supposed to go about eliminating these foods from my diet? \u00a0Will they only have to be eliminated temporarily until my gut heals? \u00a0What caused this? \u00a0Was it the virus that I had a month ago that I can’t seem to shake? \u00a0All these questions remain to be answered.<\/p>\n

I spent some time last night and this morning looking for alternatives to some of my favorite foods: creamer for coffee, bread, breakfast foods. \u00a0I have found two web sites that I am printing out recipes from:<\/p>\n

www.thep<\/a>aleomom.com<\/p>\n

www.paleodiet.com<\/a><\/p>\n

www.alittleinsanity.com<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have any resources or direction for me, please share in the comments. \u00a0I will share information here as I uncover solutions.<\/p>\n
