Abstract
The immune system is responsible for protecting and defending our body under normal conditions and helps living things survive by neutralizing factors such as pathogens and infections that threaten the body. However, for some reasons, the body perceives itself as a threat and attacks itself, creating defects. The diseases that occur as a result of this situation are called autoimmune diseases, and if not intervened, they can lead the person from disability to death. Although the underlying causes are not fully understood, an autoimmune disease may also predispose to the formation of another autoimmune disease. However, as a result of research, it is thought that environmental factors together with genetic factors form a whole and cause these diseases. On the other hand, sometimes consumed foods or nutritional components may cause undesirable consequences for individuals. For example, studies have shown that the development of Hashimoto\"s thyroiditis (HT), an autoimmune disease, is supported by a gluten-containing diet. 70-80% genetic factors and 20-30% environmental factors play a role in the progression of this disease. While HT cases have increased rapidly in the last 30 years, the prevalence of the disease increases with age. HT, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is one of the most common autoimmune disorders of the thyroid gland. In the pathogenesis of the disease, there is a close connection with autoantibodies with lymphocytic infiltration along with B and T cells in the thyroid tissue. Chronic fatigue, irritability, unstable mood, as well as stomach, intestinal or cardiovascular problems may be observed in these patients. Additionally, a link has been identified between increased HT and primary thyroid lymphoma and papillary thyroid cancer. Although reported studies suggest that gluten exclusion may be beneficial for some individuals with HT, the diet is very limited, difficult to follow, and carries the risk of nutritional deficiency. In this review, the effect of gluten, a protein found in grains, on some common autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto\"s thyroiditis has been examined in the light of current scientific publications. Answers were sought to the questions of whether removing gluten from the diet of individuals with autoimmune diseases would benefit the individual or alleviate their clinical symptoms.Keywords: Hashimoto\"s thyroiditis, Gluten-free diet, Autoimmune diseases, Immune system
