View allI'm a 22-year-old female and I've just been told I have a thyroid issue with my TSH level at 27.72 and anti-TPO at 576 IUml. My doctor only gave me one medicine and didn't offer much else in terms of guidance. I'm gaining a lot of weight and constantly feel fatigued and down. Can you give me some advice on what foods I should avoid or include in my diet? Also, I'm curious about whether Ayurvedic, allopathic, or homeopathic treatments might be most effective for managing thyroid problems. I'm really eager to try and handle this beyond just taking medication. Any insights would be really helpful.
Tanushree, with your high TSH (27.72) and anti-TPO (576 IUml) levels, it's essential to work closely with your doctor to manage your hypothyroidism; to support your treatment, focus on a balanced diet rich in iodine (dairy, fish, and iodized salt), selenium (nuts, seeds), and zinc (oysters, beef), while avoiding soy, cruciferous vegetables in excess, and gluten if you're sensitive; consider complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, and stress management to help with weight gain, fatigue, and mood; as for medication, allopathic levothyroxine (T4) is often the first-line treatment, but some people may prefer ayurvedic or homeopathic approaches, such as ashwagandha, bladderwrack, or thyroidinum, under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?
