I think personally that the wheat and soy products were not good for my particular body. I also have lost a lot of allergies and other autoimmune type symptoms. I think they are all tied in together.
My latest self-experiment while staying on the conventional meds, is reducing the amount of fluoride I get via water, drinks, food etc. If you think you are hypothyroid, google fluoride with thyroid and see what you think.
Supposedly, raw cruciferous veggies are also not good if you're hypothyroid. But I love 'em cooked and still eat them.
Good luck figuring all of this out for yourself, and I also recommend going to a doctor, if only to treat the T4 part of it.
If you do get some synthetic thyroid meds, be sure not to take them within 4 hours of iron supplements, and a handful of others (can't think right now).
