b"Gluten sensitivities are becoming more common, but most people don't know if they have a sensitivity. Continuing to eat foods you are sensitive to can lead to a wide variety of problems, and it can even contribute to some serious thyroid conditions.

Unfortunately, the protein portion of gluten - called gliadin - looks similar to thyroid molecules, so the body may mistakenly attack parts of the thyroid, potentially leading to thyroid issues. In this week's episode, we'll go over how gluten affects the thyroid, and why it's important to avoid it.\\n\\n\\n\\nProducts Mentioned in Today's Show\\n\\n\\n\\nThyroid Essentials Plus - Thyroid Essentials Plus is designed to be an all-in-one thyroid support product that may benefit many thyroid conditions.
