Immune Balancing Herbs Astragalus, ashwaganda Also consider: ho shou wu, black walnut, coleus, nettle leaf, saw palmetto 5. Use Natural Thyroid medication (if needed) Possible Mistaken Identity The molecular structure of gliadin closely resembles that of the thyroid gland. When gliadin passes the protective barrier of the gut, and enters the bloodstream, the immune system tags it for destruction. These antibodies to gliadin (and possibly the other 100 protein structures in wheat) also cause the body to attack thyroid tissue by molecular mimicry. The immune response to Gluten can last for up to 6 months! 6
