TİROİD HASTALIKLARINDA GLUTENSİZ BESLENME

Abstract

Thyroid diseases are hormone diseases consisting of various diseases such as hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, goiter, hashimoto\"s and thyroid cancers and have recently been widely seen in many societies. For example, in endemic areas, the incidence of goiter is 15-30% of the adult population. Thyroid diseases are caused by some changes and disorders that develop in the hormones found in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland, which is the place where these hormones are produced and secreted, is a very important gland for the body that plays a major role in the development of these diseases. Thyroid hormones called T3 and T4 are secreted from the thyroid gland. The most important task of these hormones is to regulate the body\"s metabolism; for this reason, thyroid hormones affect almost every organ. In order for these secreted hormones to be secreted at an adequate and balanced level and for the thyroid hormone to function correctly as it should, every nutrient that the body needs should be taken into the body. In addition to nutrients, thyroid hormones are also affected by stress and environmental factors. In order to keep the thyroid hormone level in balance, a healthy diet is considered the first condition. Generally, exercise, adequate and high-quality sleep, adequate water consumption, probiotic consumption, avoiding stress and toxic substances along with the Mediterranean diet are ways to avoid thyroid gland diseases. Many types of diets are being researched for the treatment of thyroid diseases. A form of nutrition that has been at the forefront recently is gluten-free nutrition. In this review study, the role of gluten-free nutrition in the treatment of thyroid diseases will be examined in the company of current literature.
