Hi! Glad to find this board. I write greenfertility.blogspot.com, a continuation of a blog I used to write professionally for Adoption.com on fertility issues, and some columns I've done on thyroid have generated a lot of attention, particularly

1. new studies that show that for people how may have undiagnosed celiac disease, cutting out gluten in your diet will also STOP anti thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto's) http://greenfertility.blogspot.com/2006/06/wheat-gluten-and-thyroid-and-fertility.html

2. And also an article on finding a natural alternative to Synthroid that many others seem to like: http://greenfertility.blogspot.com/2006/05/roid-rage-thyroid-is-key-player-in.html

and discussions on how the thyroid affects the immune system, which in turn affects fertility and health. I thought I was blogging in the wilderness, but we got a nice review from about.com's thyroid site.

I have Hashi's, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other autoimmune problems relating to allergies. Always trying to find ways to improve it--when the thryoid's off, everything's off! Thanks for listening.
