    I currently take a combo of levothyroxine(T4 med) and liothyronine(T3 med) and this combination works for me. However not everyone needs T3. You do need a knowledgable endocrinologist who is familure with it though in the event supplementation with it would benifit. My current dosage is 112 mcg of the levothyroxine once a day and 5 mcg of the liothyronine...

    First off IMHO I think your doctor is wrong by saying you dont have a thyroid problem. There are new guidlines for the range of the TSH. This statement is printed on the bottom of my last blood work: Now as for the south beach diet I did it for about a month or so last fall and lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks and felt great. I quit and...

    I don't know about the steam thing, but if it was my sweet potato I would wrap it in foil to be on the safe side.

    Now I can see why you would be annoyed by this. My husband and kids eat all the meals I cook gluten free and they only get gluten free baked goods in the house. But they still do eat their bread and other gluten stuff. For now my kids are still eating gluten, but maybe not for long for the oldest. I tried last year, but could not get hubby to stick with...

    Man, your Walmarts are better than mine. Ours don't have it and I doubt it will. Checked Food Lion and nope, but they still had the cookies and cake mixes marked down to $1.88. I don't need any since I bought some last week. I would really like to make the sausage balls with this mix that I remember making with the original mix. Oh well.

    I try to do fun things like this for the kids and myself since we do not go out to eat hardly ever. If the boys ever have to be gluten free in the future, at least they know there is good stuff to eat. They eat any/all meals I cook gluten free, but they still do eat gluten cereals, bread, crackers etc. The McGriddle he had last week was the first gluten...

    My oldest son was ranting and raving about Mcgriddles from Mcdonalds that he had at a friends house. I have had them before gluten free and thought, "self I can make these at home." I used my recipe for buckwheat/brown rice pancakes. We stir in cinnamon chips so I thought this would be great since the ones you buy have syrup chips in them. I sprayed some...

    I made these today. I hadn't made them since last year. I make my own sorghum blend now and used it instead. The first attempt was a complete failure because I added WAY TO MUCH xanthan gum. They were gross. So I did some digging and found that for cookies that you only need 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour. So I added 1/2 teaspoon to the batter...

    I developed yeast infections on my nipples when I was breastfeeding. My son has yeast overgrowth in his bowel, would get yeast infections in the diaper area and thrush. I got it from him. My nipples would be very purple looking and I would get stabbing pains that would radiate into the breasts. They were also very dry and painful. I had to treat them...

    Just to say that if you get a gluten free ct barium, don't be suprised that you might still get diarrhea from it. It is a common complaint.

    Question 3. It depends on what brand and flavor. Do you remember the name of it? Here are some other links to this very topic.

    Why not just ask the store to take your name/number down and when they place an order, order so many for you? I do this at our small local health food store. They keep small quantities in stock to begin with so when they place their weekly order if I need something I'll have them order extra for me. I have not found it fresh only frozen and have...

    Not to sound gross, but do you feel like you don't completely evacuate? Not sure if you are female or not, but if yes, women can develope rectoceles. It is where there is a bulging into the vagina due to the muscles weaking from childbirth etc. I believe that I have one and constipation can aggrivate it. I'm not really having any problems from it so I...

    Lucky you. Our Walmart here about 70 miles away from you does not stock much gluten free stuff. The only thing they have is the brownie mix. Food Lion carried all the Betty Crocker mixes here so I will have to check this week. Food City does not carry the Betty Crocker mixes either. I may check at Ingalls again. I'm just to lazy to drive to JC or Knoxville...

    My son reacted to many things through my breast milk. He really reacted to dairy. He would cry and scream from colic if I consumed any. He also developed hives that I could trace back to me consuming something with pecans in it. So as a result I was dairy free, tree nut free, and I went rice and oat free because when I would feed him cereal he would have...

    When you go to the endocrinologist you need them to order a TSH, free T3, free T4, and test for thyroid antibodies (can't remember the exact name). You sound like you have a thyroid problem. Autoimmune thyroid diseases, graves and hashimotos, are fairly common with celiacs. I also read an article before I was diagnosed (it was in the journal of endocrinology...

    I discovered that my local Food City started carrying some new gluten free products. They had schar bread and rolls on the shelf not in the frozen section. Anyone try these? I have been eating udi's from the local health food store and really like it without having to toast it. Just curious if the schar's would stand up to the taste test?

    Yep that is exactly what I had. I have grown squash/zucchini for many years and never had that. I am going to sow a few more seeds and see what happens. I ate my first ripe tomato today. It was a mr. stripy. It wasn't very big, but boy was it good. I shared half with my 5 year old who loves tomatoes more than I do.

    Roda posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    I have made this recipe before, but thought it was lacking. So I set out this morning to experiment. I roasted the chickpeas with three cloves of crushed garlic, some canned roasted red peppers, olive oil and mr. dash original seasoning. I then followed the rest of the recipe (I did not add more garlic). It tastes so good! I know what I will be eating...

    Sounds good. I picked my first almost ripe tomato. I lost all of my squash plants to some kind of grub that was eating the stems of the plant. I have never had that happen before.

    Yes prenatal vitamins can darken the stools from the iron. I'd bet that is what it is from, but if you are worried discuss it with your doctor. I had terrible bruising on my legs during both of my pregnancies. I still have that problem. I have had everything known to man checked out for it and can find nothing. I do have alot of spider veins and I believe...

    I had bad constipation with an impaction as a baby and toddler. Seemed alright as a child and teenage years with occasional bloating and constipation. Early to mid 20's had increasing problems with bloading and constipation. I had a friend that was an ultrasound tech that was using me as a guinea pig to try out a new machine. She was scanning my thyroid...

    It appears fine to me. Here is a link to it. Open Original Shared Link Just click on the prescribing information(pdf) for the description. It lists in the first paragraph what is in it.
