In ihrer neuen Doko-Reihe "the Thyroid Secret" erwähnt Dr. Isabella Wentz, (Autorin von Hashimoto im Griff: Endlich beschwerdefrei mit der richtigen Behandlung) eine neue Studie, die den Zusammenhang von kohlenhydratreicher Kost und dem Ansteigen von Anikörpern bei Hashimoto Autoimmunpatienten untersucht.
Das Ergebnis der Studie deutet darauf hin, dass eine Beziehung besteht zwischen der Entwicklung von Hashimoto, einer Gewichtszunahme und einer Schwächung des Grundstoffwechsels
durch einen erhöhnten Kohlehydratstoffwechsel.

Abstract: The thyroid is one of the metabolism regulating glands. Its function is to determine the amount of calories that the body has to burn to maintain normal weight.
Thyroiditides are inflammatory processes that mainly result in autoimmune diseases. We have conducted the present study in order to have a clear picture of both autoimmune status and the control
of body weight. We have evaluated the amount of either thyroid hormones, or antithyroid, or anti-microsomal, or anti-peroxidase antibodies (Abs) in patients with high amounts of Abs. In a diet
devoid of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, fruit, and rice), free from goitrogenic food, and based on body mass index, the distribution of body mass and intracellular and extracellular water
conducted for 3 weeks gives the following results: patients treated as above showed a significant reduction of antithyroid (-40%, P<0.013), anti-microsomal (-57%,
P<0.003), and anti-peroxidase (-44%, P<0,029) Abs. Untreated patients had a significant increase in antithyroid (+9%, P<0.017) and anti-microsomal (+30%,
P<0.028) Abs. Even the level of anti-peroxidase Abs increased without reaching statistical significance (+16%, P>0064). With regard to the body parameters measured in
patients who followed this diet, reduction in body weight (-5%, P<0.000) and body mass index (-4%, P<0.000) were observed. Since 83% of patients with high levels of
autoantibodies are breath test positive to lactase with a lactase deficit higher than 50%, this fact led us to hypothesize a correlation with carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein and
therefore a possible role of carbohydrate metabolism in the development and maintenance of autoimmune thyroiditis associated with body weight increase and slower basic metabolism.
