Your thyroid did not fail on its own. It is a victim, not the cause. Your thyroid and your immune system are both struggling for the same reason. Your cells are running low on energy.

Are oxalates bad for Hashimoto’s? For some women, yes. Oxalates are compounds in foods often labeled “healthy,” like spinach, nuts, seeds, and sweet potatoes, and they can build up in the thyroid gland over time. According to Sally K.
