The Connection Between Graves' Disease and Gluten Sensitivity
In my recent research, I discovered a fascinating connection between Graves' Disease and gluten sensitivity. Graves' Disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid, while gluten sensitivity is a reaction to gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye. It turns out that individuals with Graves' Disease are more likely to have gluten sensitivity or even celiac disease, due to the nature of autoimmune disorders. By following a gluten-free diet, some people with Graves' Disease have experienced a decrease in symptoms and improved thyroid function. This connection highlights the importance of understanding how dietary choices can impact our overall health.
