    it helps to read the whole book, and not just the lists- it will make more sense- so you can be the director of your own individual journey. he even says i think to read it with the same open mindedness & skepticism that brought you to it in the first place. there ARE "inconsistencies" especially when the lists seem to change in the Live Right book, and...

    you may already know this- but it's because the T3 only stays in your body for 6 hours. it's a real pain to plan my lunch around it(esp with work)- but worth it mostly to feel good for the WHOLE day!!!
  3. cassP
    YES ME TOO! i tell u- if it was 30 outside- i would be a little happier, more energetic, and a good 5lbs thinner. i hope i can move someday :/

    thanku SO MUCH! you're a Godsend... now could you please just come with me to my next endo apt THAT GOT PUSHED BACK TO JULY 11 ok, so moving the decimal point 3 spaces, and saying 10x more confused me. nevertheless i tried to copy the model. my FT3 was at 4.00 my RT3 was 244. so 4000/244= about 16.5 (is that right?) so it's not bad...

    nutmeg- i was always crashing in the afternoon/evening too- taking some kind of dose in the middle of the day really really helps me- tho it's a pain to not eat before and after it-

    really? i love Mary's Gone Crackers, except that they sometimes r too hard for my teeth.

    hilarious- i just replied i think on another thread relating to your season! summer is my arch nemesis. and personally- my diet is already more restrictive than the thyroid diet... im: gluten-free, SHOULD be dairy free, trying to be soy free, avoid legumes, most beans, corn, & low fructose/fructans, low carb mostly.
  8. cassP
    yes- i do- and im not so sure it has to do with the fructose malabsorption thing. just my own theory really. if i eat a banana BY ITSELF- i will get hot & nauseous- and reflux- and almost IMMEDIATE "RUN TO THE BATHROOM" and vomit feeling- it is awful- i discovered this in my early 20s- way before i knew anything about wheat or gluten,etc. **this also...
  9. cassP
    i went on & off LOW & NO carb for the past 11 years... only been 100% gluten free since July 1, 2010. i had self diagnosed the celiac in june, and after going gluten free, got DH. then in October- dx with Hashi, jan- dx with Graves. i had celiac symptoms since my teens- and hashi symptoms (I THOUGHT) for only the last 6 or 7 years. but now im wondering...

    over a year ago maybe i listened to the radio show online when Dr. Oz had Dr. D'Adamo on. Dr. Oz was very polite & open minded to the possibilities- but his partner (forgot his name) was a little more closed off. but it was a good show. Dr. Oz is bloodtype O, and i wondered after his colon cancer discovery-> if he should reconsider some of the diet...

    thanku so much for all the great info!!! one favor- im not too smart at math- can u please tell me how to figure out the ratio of Rt3 to t3?? ive got both numbers, just dont know how to work it?
  12. cassP
    your numbers are encouraging! so, im completely ok with being on meds the rest of my life- but id like to have a better "quality of life". i would like to know that if i can get my Hashi & Grave's antibodies down to within in range- then maybe i wont have so many episodes. ?? because the meds can only help so much- and only with the one condition. i...
  13. cassP
    really? i thought i was doing pretty good with a B12 at 640.. but maybe i should aim for 900?? hmmm... need to get that checked again
  14. cassP
    who knows- you might like it?? :/ you can buy them individually at whole foods, so u can try it
  15. cassP
    oh i still think it's not as restrictive as what many of us do on here anyways- i still drink alcohol but only occasionally- i just know that my body cant handle as much as others- which is fine, im not a big drinker anyways- i always had a sensitive stomach/liver. i would always end up puking if i drank like other people- so ive been used to drinking...
  16. cassP
    thanku!
  17. cassP
    you could do a big turkey burger w/a gluten free bun of course
  18. cassP
    hey- 1st off- i totally like that Dr. J guy- seems like a real nice guy... and- how in the world are we to get eggs that are not from chickens fed grains & soy & corn??? it's impossible ya??? so annoyed with that- im SO ANNOYED with EVERYTHING having corn & soy in it- and probably GMO to boot
  19. cassP
    i called the company who makes synthroid months ago, when i was still on it. the official reply they gave me was that NONE of the ingredients were gluten BUT they could not guarantee 100% that the raw ingredients they get to make it were not cross contaminated. i did NOT react well at all to being on Synthroid alone. but once they added Cytomel, i was...
  20. cassP
    what do u mean "so incredibly restrictive" that you'd rather be nuked?? so far, ive only read up to avoid wheat & soy... and of course caffeine- that's hardly as restrictive as my Celiac, Fructose Malabsorption, & other intolerances including Legumes & Corn
  21. cassP
    Deglycyrrhizinised liquorice it really helps your stomach- can reduce high acidity. i love it. it's better as DGL. regular licorice can elevate your blood pressure
  22. cassP
    most beans wreck me completely... and legumes (including peanuts) wreck me too-> id say the pain is sometimes worse than gluten big time. im assuming i can do a little hummus cause the chickpeas have been pulverized- maybe when some of these foods are blended to smithereens-> maybe it renders some of the proteins easier to digest. but u know we...
  23. cassP
    wowwwwwwww, thanku so much! what a great tip... ive often wondered if the liners made a difference!
  24. cassP
    idk.... but im assuming that that fake nacho cheese stuff probably has 30 ingredients that our body would want to reject. werent u afraid to order it without seeing the ingredients? i wouldnt be surprised if there's wheat, corn, and soy byproducts in it. ??
  25. cassP
    hey- my T3 & T4 were in the upper middle range- so if my doc had only looked at those- it would look like i was fine. maybe u should get your grave's antibodies tested too- im theorizing that having both may have been why i had enough t3 & t4 in my blood.??? my T3 levels went down when i first started on meds- i was on Synthroid 50mcg only. it made...
