I would look into the ALCAT allergy test. See what you are eating that might cause your thyroid/diabetes disorder. Mine was weird like food coloring, chlorine, vegtable oils and cane sugar. I Quit those and am doing better. I actually just bought the alcat one because its more precise and does herbs and molds too. When i altered my diet my autoimmune conditions improved drastically. I may have other allergies to foods that the IGG test didnt get. I bake now with date sugar.
I forgot about this question update if you have hashimotos that you have cannot have any artificial sweetener. I eat extremely low carb and blood sugars are lower . I even go as far as making keto recipes for those sweet cravings. I now use coconut palm sugar and slthough there are risks with that its better than the artificial sweetners almost killing me
I do, I think it has something to do with the helplessness you feel in the mid of a flare. A full stomach comforts you. I tend to binge when everything is happening. Medication helps only up to a point.
