Foods to avoid with Hypothyroidism

Going Gluten Free

I am not a doctor, but just a food blogger and naturo path. The first signs of gluten intolerance were strange for me. I started developing blisters and bumps on my face, used to bleed and full of pus. Never understood what it was. I noticed a trigger in it after eating gluten. After visiting 3 doctors, everyone was unable to identify what it was. One said don't eat banana, one said don't eat dry fruit and their less researched and useless stories. Despite using their medicines, my face was not clear and filled with strange blood filled stuff. I was sick of it. I started a gf free life style and quit all the steroids and antibiotics given by the doctors. They gave me wrong diagnosis. He diagnosed it as "Photo contact Dermatitis" and asked me to stay away from sun. (A lack of Vitamin D I suffered for many months). This was not sun or banana that was causing it. Gluten was the culprit behind all this. Just check if your doctor is giving you the correct diagnosis or not. Plus I removed gluten from my foods and switched to homemade gf breads, cakes and muffins. The face blisters have disappeared after that. I thank God and all the people who helped me in my journey of autoimmune problem and have encouraged me. After getting healed, I decided just to spread awareness among people and guide them what to eat and what to avoid. If God has cured me, I must spread awareness among people who are suffering from this disease. Doctors never tell full facts. They are in a hurry to make more money. Plus my mother is Gluten intolerant. A doctor gave her high antibiotics and her intestines got damaged for 8 months. She had bleeding stools too. I asked her to stop all the med and switch to gluten free diet with more nutrients. She is OK but even if she eats gluten, symptoms are back. So please check if your doctor is guiding you right or not.
