Posted on Fri, 21 Aug 2015
Question: Do you believe that following an autoimmune protocol diet is necessary to help control all of the symptoms of Hashimoto's? I have already eliminated gluten and soy, but I am still struggling with circulation, mood, rashes, flushing, and headaches.

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note your persistent symptoms despite some dietary changes that you have made, based on the information sources you have reviewed.

However, to the best of my knowledge of published medical literature, there is no scientific evidence that such an 'autoimmune protocol diet' benefits Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
There is certainly no proof in credible and reputed global publications nor are there any authoritative guidelines from thyroid expert associations , supporting claims of any diet by this name
