    I once lost 30 pounds on Atkins and felt great. I stopped after a while and gradually felt worse. I have always tried to eat low carb to control weight and I now wonder if this is what may have given me a false negative blood test ? I now am loving gluten-free as I can eat carbs without bloat !

    I have been gluten-free for 4 months and still have the headaches. So ...another reason ? I think they are a bit better but I still get the daily dull pain type. When I was glutened last month I got a migraine the next day. I normally only get 2 migraines a year so I thought that was significient.

    Liz, Try to read Stop The Thyroid Madness as it really applies to you. You poor thing. That Dr has left you ill when it is so simple to medicate Armour. You are at the right dose when your pm temp is 98.6. Our Dr knows all this and treats us this way - so speak to your Dr about it. Our Dr lets our Free T3 ( the test that shows how much active T is circulating...

    90 mg of Armour is WAYYYYYY underdosing you. Your temps are still low. You need a proper Armour dose. 90mg = 1 1/2 grains. I take 4 grains or 240 mg to give you an idea. The pdf on the Armour web site states higher so print that off for your Dr to read. wwwarmourthyroid.com Pred is the worst type of cortisone. What is needed to treat Adrenal Fatigie...

    Liz, How much Armour are you taking and how are your temps ? Have you been tested for adrenal fatigue. That goes hand in hand with Hypo. Kelp is very mild and Lugols Iodine is a better source or Iodine tablets called Iodoral. Some folks get amazing recovery when they add that. The yahoo Iodine group has all that info. Has B12 been checked - as that can happen...

    I have two small rashes on my legs and had thought I was getting psoriasis but now I have started to wonder about DH. The web pictures I have found show huge areas - mine are 2 small ( about 2" round ) areas on both legs. Its symetrical - does that mean anything too ?There are red dots and they are raised with thickened skin all around. The rashes come and...

    Bonnie, I would get a copy of my lab results and post to a few web forums to make sure this Endo knows what he is talking about. Do you feel Hypo ? How are you temps ? Hair, fatigue etc

    Kiara, That could be adrenal fatigue. Most Drs are not trained to test for that and only recognise adrenal failure. Saliva testing from www.canaryclub.com or some others can test for that and you can order that yourself. The 4 x a day panel is most accurate. There are also some checks on the stopthethyroidmadness that seem to work. I think Dr Rind has a good...

    I love the Leda bars although they are heavy. I usually only eat half and save the rest for another day.I will have to look out for those choc mint ones ! This was in Adelaide paper yesterday. Looks good - will have to check it out ! Open Original Shared Link And for any Adelaidians - have been told of Organic Pizza , Hutt St have gluten-free...

    All very interesting ! But doesn't autoimmune Thyroid - Hashimotos - go up and down anyway? My Dr explained that as the antibodies attack the Thyroid all the tests go up and down all the time. She doesn't use T4 meds like Synthroid at all. She has Hashis herself. She uses Armour Thyroid, and the aim is to totally supress the Antibody attack by getting TSH...

    A friend of mine tested positive to the blood test but negative to the biopsy so the Dr told her she was OK. I urged her to read some more but she probaby hasn't. She hadn't the last time I met her. What is really weird is that she does gluten-free for her husband as he is GI.

    Great idea for a Thread !I haven't found any lollies yet but I am still looking
  13. georgie
    Yes. Still cross. When I said cake I meant one of those pre packaged biscuits or cakes you can get. The lady was so rude to me for even asking. I have just checked my Leda bar bought last week and its exp is Aug 07 - so can't see the issue there re dates and food being wasted excessively. This is just ONE bar we are talking about ! All the sandwiches were...

    I posted this elsewhere tonight but I am hopping mad.... I have had 2 hospital cafe meals in last month. Both times they had NO gluten free food at all.Not even a cake. I was there waiting for 3 hours today and was REALLY hungry.The first time - the lady apologised but today the lady was REALLY rude and told me they had it once but it was not a good seller...

    ARCHIVED Hospital Cafe

    georgie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Not happy ! For the second time I have tried to eat at a large city hospital cafe and have found they had no Gluten Free food. Not even a cake. I had to wait 2 hours at the hosp today for results and I was hungry and they had NOTHING. I would have thought a hospital would have gluten-free food.

    I have just had my 6 month post op checkup and scan today and NO CYST has regrown ! I don't know if its the Armour Thyroid meds, the Iodine, the bio identical Progesterone Cream to normalise my oestrogen dominence or the Celiac diet - but am sticking to all 4 !!
  17. georgie
    Mine was too but when I finally found a good Dr she checked my Thyroid Antibodies for Hashimotos and that's what I had. There are good docs out there - you just have to find them

    That's amazing. I had a severe attack of something that seemed to be either Gall or Pancreatis 2 years ago. By the time I got to a Gastro ( 6 weeks ) I was better again. He didn't do any tests then - as I was OK and just said to come back if it happened again. It was one of the scariest and most painful things I have had go wrong. I would never have connected...

    I can second this. Please check your Thyroid with all the tests and get your results. Fibromyalgia can be a symptom of low Thyroid.And if already dx and on Synthroid - consider switching to Armour. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Hope you have a great holiday! The Bridge Climb is awesome I have been told. Make sure you pre book it from home as its pretty popular.

    I have this too. My Dr tested me and found I was oestrogen dominent and I now use a bio identical Progesterone Cream each day to get my hormones balanced. It was dx by a saliva test. Do a Google search for oestrogen dominence and endo, fibroids, cysts. Don't know about Celiac causing them.

    Oh yes! Did have. Not now I have my Thyroid Armour meds. Back 4 months ago I was wearing 2 thermals, 3 jumpers and a coat inside !!! And still cold. I needed a granny rug every night ! ( no central heating in Aust homes). When I learnt about Thyroid I started graphing my temp as per the Dr Rind web site, and my temps were 35.8 , 36.1 - highest ever was 3...

    Hi Courtney, You are definately Hypo. Its bad news but good news as you should find that with complete natural meds like Armour you can resolve more than 90% of your health problems. Armour is so easy to use that most Drs get a panic attack ! You simply record temps, blood pressure, pulse and keep increasing the Armour until your Hypo symptoms go away. You...

    My Fibro disappeared after treating my low Thyroid with Armour whole natural meds. Link is at the bottom - the web site with all the info. As low Thyroid can be autoimmune also - it can be linked to people with Celiac. Many Drs don't know that blood test ranges have been changed and that the TSH is not the only test for Thyroid. My TSH was always normal....

    I notice quite a few seem to have both Gluten and Dairy Intolerence. Is that common ? Would my only symptom of a dairy Intolerence be a sharp headache after eating dairy ?
