I have hypothyroid and TPO of 1300 instead of 60. My doctor said that since its an auto immune disease, it cannot be cured. I wanted to know, if changes in diet can help me cure this or will I have this throughout my life? I am a 25 years old woman.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The condition that you have is known as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. This leads to infiltration of thyroid cells with a large quantity of lymphocytes, leading to the gland becoming firm and may be granular in appearance. There are antibodies against the enzyme Thyroid peroxidase (Anti TPO Abs). TSH value goes up signifying hypothyroidism. Some times TSH value may not be too high, but patient has all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. The only treatment is to give adequate dose of Levothyroxine, which will take care of symptoms of hypothyroidism. There is no other option. Treatment with levothyroxine has to be for lifetime. Plus addition of Selenium to therapy does help in reducing the anti TPO antibodies. If proper tratment is taken you will live a fairly normal life. You will have to avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Thanks.
