You guys need to read the following book and/or visit the website: Stop The Thyroid Madness. It will explain ALL of this to you very well!!

I have had Hashimoto's for 15 years. NO DOCTOR ever told me to stop eating gluten because I had an auto-immune disease until just recently!!!

I have been on Synthroid for 15 years and have recently found out that it is the root cause of my problems....I need to switch to natural thyroid (like Armour or Naturthroid) which has some T3.

If you are concerned about Reverse T3, the book I mention will explain it to you and tell you what tests you need and how to interpret them. They also have a very active and helpful Facebook group.

I have read a LOT of thyroid books, and I have to tell you that this one is one of the absolute best, even though it was not written by a doctor. After that one, I would recommend the books by Dr. Shames, Dr. Langer, and Dr. Aram, and Mary Shomon.

I also want to add that Armour was re-formulated in 2009 and some people find that it does not work as well for them. Those people have switched to Naturthroid or a newer generic made by Acella called NP-Thyroid. People on the Stop The Thyroid Madness Facebook group have reported that they do very well in NP-Thyroid -- as well as they used to on the "old" Armour.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
