Hi again, I forgot to mention that some ASD children are GLUTEN sensitive. So they make antibodies to gluten that also harm the thyroid. Pretty interesting, huh? So, we've been GF for 7 months, my girl's thyroid numbers are improving, and less cold hands

Makes sense , my wife was having hypothyroid in the 3rd trimester and was taking thyroid supplements. We had also put him on GF for the last 3 months, saw improvements in his sleep but still very lean compared to what he eats. Will thryroid supplement helps ?

Hypothyroid and/ or anemia. Btw: hypothyroid pregnant mother 4 times more likely to have ASD child.
