I’m not an expert but after reading about Hashimoto’s Thyroid which I have . . and the affects of “leaky gut” . . . you might want to take a look at the descriptions and reviews of these two items below:
I added Kefir by Lifeway to my smoothies . . . a few times per week instead of using 50% less sugar OJ or Almond Milk. I get the plain since I’m adding my protein powder and frozen berries.
and bought some Heather’s Tummy Fiber that has some prebiotics and other benefits.
I had been struggling to lose 10-15 pounds the last couple of years . . . with my Hashimoto’s and was finally able to get to my ideal weight this summer so maybe it helped “heal” my gut . . . maybe it didn’t.
I positive that we’re talking ‘leaky gut’ here. I *know* my son has it. (diagnosed - he’s got his own story) I never had an allergy or a food problem in my life until my 30’s. Two years ago I had a massive surgery. In the month of preparation, I was put on three different antibiotics and antifungals to completely strip my system. For the week in the hospital, more antibiotics - this time IV.
Since then, my problem has gotten so much worse.
