Can eating too many sugars and too binging on alcohol have effects on your thyroid levels?

My husband has an underactive thyroid. he avoids gluten. often avoids beer and too much sweet stuff as they don't always agree.

a couple of weeks he had quite a few beers and sugary stuff. And has suffered since. he feels that he has completely knocked up his thyroid levels. he also gets pains up his top arm shoulder and neck. but also pain over his body which ulters all the time. does anyone else suffer like this or any suggestions?

    Hi! Unless he is drinking gluten free beer, all beers have gluten in them so that would have started the flare up that he is experiencing. Hope he is feeling better now, but time to lay off the beers if he wants to follow a gluten free lifestyle. 😃
