I am just interested to see if anyone on this message board follows a raw foods diet? I am not talking about raw meat or eggs, I mean nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. Anyone?

Hi,

I have often wished I had the ability to go completely raw food. I have a number of friends who are totally immersed in the lifestyle. Since being diagnosed 2 years ago I've tried a number of times but dont think my body is recovered enough

yet.

is a great resource site with a good magazine. I write about tropical fruit for them.

I am doing the raw thing, but just started. In fact, I just got my Vitamix today, so a whole bunch more recipies will come available to me now. So far, so good. My skin looks better (right away), my poop is better, my energy is better. I still eat cooked food a couple times per day, but am working toward 90% or so raw. I think I'm a protein type metabolizer, so might want to keep meat or eggs in my diet...as opposed to doing the vegan thing.

Anyway, if you have any questions, make sure to let me know. But I'm pretty new too.

I am actually about 95% raw. I really like it. I was all raw yesterday and I then ate gluten-free toast and I got bloated right away! It was really crazy. I am jealous of your vitamix!!! We have a Cuisinart, but that's nothing compared to a vitamix. How much was yours?

I tried the raw diet. Although I prefer to eat mostly raw foods, I have gastroparesis so I can't always eat this way. I am not the one with the gluten issue though. My daughter is. You do have to be careful with a raw diet because some of the ingredients like Miso and Nama Shoyu or Braggs can contain gluten.

it was about 500 bucks. ouch! you can get a refurbished one for about 400 bucks. AND, Vitamix charges tax even though they sell from out of state. Oh well.

Tonight we ate an all raw dinner: fettuccini made of zucchini (first you use the mandolin, then slice in thin strips) in a marinara sauce (tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon juice, 1 date, salt, sun dried tomatoes) and it was really good. The whole family liked it. We had salad too.

The marinara was my first job in the Vitamix. I'm looking forward to using it, that's for sure.

Then I made my dessert concoction: pecans, coconut, dates, cocoa nibs, and cashew butter (in the food processor). I roll them into balls. Actually, I have to watch it with this stuff - it's a lot of sugar (in the form of dates). Yum! My partner thinks they need rum, but he's full of it.

I don't use miso or raw soy sauce, but I understood braggs to be gluten free. I keep forgetting to pick some up, so haven't been able to use any recipies with miso yet. What would be a good substitute?

LOL. Rum does make everything better...lol.

I am soy free, so I can't do Braggs either. We actually had a really similar dinner...zucchini with tomatoe sauce (all raw). It was really good. Not the same as cooked, but still really good.

I also made an apple pie yesterday which I have been munching on since then.

Do you have Alissa Cohen's book? Any other books you would suggest?

You know what they say, "Time flies when you're having rum."

I might be wrong on the Bragg's. Daughter can't have soy. Perhaps it's soy it contains and not gluten. Anyway... In recipes, I just sub in some Celtic sea salt to taste.

I have four different Raw books. Alissa's is the only one I use on a regular basis. She explains things very well.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.
