]Help! Magnesium level was low so doc put me on a supplement, but I'm also on Levoxyl for low thyroid. Should I take this supplement 4 hours after my thyroid med?

YES!! I take my thyroid supplements (Levoxyl and Liothyronine) when I first wake up in the morning. 3-1/2 to 4 hours later after breakfast I take my magnesium supplement. If I take the magnesium less than 3-1/2 hours after my thyroid supps, I notice more hypothyroid symptoms (I get tired sooner, feel colder, get irregular). So I know magnesium can interfere with thyroid absorption.

If you only need to take magnesium supplement once a day, you might take it before bed and take your thyroid in the morning. I need to take my magnesium a few times a day so that I don't get a big load of magnesium, which can cause me bloating. gas and cramping pain.

Actually, calcium needs to be taken away from thyroid supplements also. I do not start ingesting any supplements at all for at least 5 hours after my thyroid hormone.

I am also on thyroid medication and just recently started to take magnesium. I probably took the magnesium 2-3 hours after the thyroid meds but only took the magnesium for 2 days because ive become very depressed. Could this be due to the magnesium?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
