Sick, and nothing could be done for them, and they have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, and all of a sudden they felt wonderful. Now, not everybody felt wonderful because there's varying degrees of sensitivities to gluten, but that was kind of the beginning of really, really understanding food and its relationship to Hashimoto's. Now, if you've been watching the series, Hashimoto's is an autoimmune problem. It's primarily an autoimmune problem, and 70% of your immune system is on the inside of your intestines, so good answer. A good question, I would say, to answer.

So, it goes beyond gluten. I have friends in the field, colleagues in the field, and they do what our second evolution of food that was bad for Hashimoto's was back then. And that was, we would just write on a piece of paper: gluten, casein, soy, corn, and eggs, and we would hand it to the patient and say, "Don't eat those for the next three months." That was an evolution. Those are considered high allergic foods. Most of you probably know that. Those are some of the most high allergy foods that are out there.

Another thing we used to do was, we used to say, "Okay, here's a piece of paper. Write down your five most favorite foods in the whole world." They would write them down and hand them back to us, and maybe we would look at them and maybe we wouldn't. We'd turn around and hand it back and say, "Okay, don't eat those foods." Because the understanding was that your favorite foods are the foods you eat the most frequently, and that you have the most likely chance of developing food sensitivities to those.

What I'm trying to say is there's not one food. I have another colleague who's a fairly, fairly well-known neurologist in the field of [neuroinflammology 00:02:04] and he does a lot of consulting on it. He just takes people off of gluten and milk products. That's not enough for a lot of you, for sure.

So, there's not an exact answer that ...The answer is, it's all about food allergies and food sensitivities, and which ones are the ones for you. Okay? People do different diets. They do the autoimmune paleo diet, but even in the autoimmune paleo diet, there can be foods on there that you're going to be sensitive to. And so, with those types of people we do an allergy elimination diet, and you've got to find out what people's food sensitivities are, and it varies from person to person.

You might do the keto diet, and that might make you feel better because you're not eating a lot of vegetables, and the vegetables might be something where they bloat you up. If they bloat you up, it's because you have small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, probably, so you can't eat those foods because those foods will flare you up, and then that in turn will flare up your immune system. And that, in turn, will flare up your thyroid.

If you have a leaky gut you might have sensitivity to a lot of foods, and so you have to fix that and not eat any of those foods, because they flare up your thyroid.
