Vegetarian protein sources such as legumes (beans), dairy, grains, soy, and
some seeds may be incompatible with trying to heal a leaky gut, which
is almost always present with Hashimoto’s. Pea protein is an alternative
that may be easier to digest and is less likely to cause food sensitivities (I
like the NOW Foods brand).


Eggs, some seeds, and nuts would be the preferred sources of protein
for vegetarians, but some people with Hashimoto’s may be intolerant to
those as well, especially in the early stages of a healing diet.


Maintaining a vegan diet is even more challenging. Nuts and seeds would
be the go-to source of protein, but many find them difficult to digest at
the beginning of their thyroid healing journeys.
