    Hi Clare, there are lots of discussions on here about hypothyroidism. Just search what particular area you are looking for or start a discussion. Or just search ‘hypothyroidism ‘ and all the posts for it will come up. 

    There is so much surrounding the thyroid so always best to ask a more specific question. 😊

    Have you recently been diagnosed? 

    Jen

      Been hypo for 20 odd years and only recently been diagnosed with coeliac . Looking for info on what vitamins and nutrients are good to take with this .. UK doctors will only test your TSH level and if it’s normal you can’t complain as they won’t listen , not educated enough on this disorder ...

    Going totally gluten free is the primary dietary measure for celiac. Have you done that?

    vitamin B12 and D3 are often recommended.
