Not only that, but parts of your brain in the cerebellum and parts of gliadin (AKA gluten) look almost identical (1). Hashimoto’s disease and gluten sensitivity seem to be closely linked (we will talk more about that later). The exact mechanism as to why this occurs is not well understood but we can learn more by taking a deeper look into how the food that you eat influences your body. It has been shown that, rarely, people with Hashimoto’s develop a reversible cause of encephalopathy which is responsive to steroids.
The condition of Hashimoto’s encephalopathy highlights this important connection. There appears to be some cross-reactivity between thyroid antibodies, inflammation, and your brain tissue.
You may be aware that your body is attacking your thyroid gland, but did you also know it may be attacking your brain? This means your body is attacking itself and the majority of this attack occurs in the thyroid gland.įor this reason, many patients with Hashimoto’s ultimately end up taking thyroid medication. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition that stems from disordered immune function in your body. It’s important to understand that Hashimoto’s disease is an inflammatory condition. Let’s jump in… Brain Inflammation & Brain Fog – How They are Connected You’re about to learn why brain fog may be an early indicator of damage to your brain, what steps you can take to reverse this condition, and what steps you should be taking to prevent brain fog. The answer is yes and we are going to explore why in this post. Is there a connection between these two disease states? Why do so many patients with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s suffer from brain fog?
