ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of different diets on women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a condition that affects the thyroid gland and can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Specifically, the researchers are looking at a gluten-free and lactose-free diet, a diet that includes a special berry called Aronia Melanocarpa, and a combination of both. They want to see how these diets impact hormone levels, weight loss, and overall health over an 8-week period.

To participate in this study, you must be a woman aged 18 to 65 who has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. You should not have any other chronic illnesses, and you shouldn't have used certain supplements or followed strict diets recently. If you join, you will provide information about your diet and health, follow one of the study diets, and have your blood tested before and after the study to track changes. The aim is to help improve the quality of life for women with this condition by creating effective dietary recommendations.
