In order to treat my thyroid better, I was placed on a gluten-free diet and then advanced to a paleo diet. My warm moments are few and far between now - only when I accidentally encounter a food I shouldn't eat. <br /><br />Best of luck! I hope your dear bride can find relief as it is equally uncomfortable for her.<br /><br />~LindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
