]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?

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
