Dairy

Dairy sensitivity is not uncommon among individuals with thyroid problems. In a lot of people, dairy can lead to the formation of mucus and trigger IBS, reflux, and bloating. Also, the protein from dairy known as casein has been found to elevate the thyroid gland and digestive tract inflammation.

Consequently, the body’s absorption of nutrients and self-healing reduces. Dairy can also encourage the growth of bad microbes in the digestive tract too. Casein also worsens the symptoms of autoimmune illnesses, similarly to gluten.
