Constipation
Question

I have chronic constipation and I am suffering from autoimmune hypothyroidism as well. Lichen Planus is also there. My doctor told me these problems are connected with the gut. How can they be treated?

Doctor's Answer

Lichen Planus and Hashimotos thyroiditis are often associated with leaky gut. The toxins leaking from the gut create antibodies against the system leading to autoimmunity. I would suggest avoid gluten, dairy and sugar completety as they are very strong triggers for this. Eat soothing food - preferable low FODMAP diet to prevent further fermentation. Start with L-Glutamine and take 2 brazil nuts along with a handful of walnuts/pumpkin seeds everyday. I would suggest taking a spoon of ghee with every meal of the day. This disease will need monitoring to assess for flareups and blood reports need to be assessed every month. So i would suggest you contact our team and book an appointment so we can properly chart a protocol to help you with this.
