    Whether this problem is caused by physical or psychological factors or some combination of both, you do sound like you have a lot of stress to deal with. I hope you'll feel better once you're married but I'm not surprised you're so tired with all the different things you juggle. Is there a way your could make life easier or calmer? Even if this doesn't solve...

    Regarding stress and work - my advice would be to remember that you come first and your health is more important than your job. It's also crucial to make sure you have a good work/life balance - you need those hours away from work to recover and recharge. And try to find ways to leave the stress behind when you leave at the end of the day. Good advice...

    p.s. Preparing your own food would definitely be cheaper - London is horribly expensive, sadly. Also, if you join the Leon and La Tasca mailing lists just before your visit, they may send you discount vouchers

    Hello, I lived in London until recently. A short-term apartment might be good - alternatively, a breakfast only hotel might be ok too, if there is a fridge in your room for storing food. For making food yourself, I would recommend Sainsbury's and M&S Food as supermarkets with good gluten labelling. There are lots of these around London. For restaurants...

    I'm sorry to hear that. I understood that cognitive problems are a part of Hashimoto's and they are my biggest problem at present - you have my sympathy.

    I think I may have to fight for the extra tests but I'll give it a go. Glad you've found a way to feel normal... I'm trying to remember what that's like. Your advice is appreciated

    Thank you for this extra info. I'll make a note of it all. Can the other tests show up something even if the TSH is normal? My wretched vitamin D always seems to be low. Also, do the thyroid hormones help, or are you stuck with the symptoms? I do hope you've had sme success with treatment x

    Thank you. I'll ask my doctor exactly what was tested. I am getting tireder and tireder and all the symptoms match.
  9. India
    I recently had my TSH level tested and is is apparently fine. Are any additional or different tests needed if the problem is Hashimoto's rather than straightforward hypothyroidism? Thanks for any help you can give.

    Thank you for your replies. You're all so helpful. The thought of having RLS makes me despair as I already have a muscular condition which only improves if I can relax and this wretched twitching now appears whenever I try. I have stopped taking the vitamin c supplements. I've tried magnesium supplements in the past but I'll try them again and potassium...

    Hi all, I'm having a problem with muscle spasms - mostly in my chest, but also my right leg and right thumb and occasionally other places. It only happens when I'm resting or trying to sleep. Sounds just like my husband's restless legs syndrome, but more widespread. I've been taking effervescent vitamin C tablets for about three weeks which contain...

    If it's any help, my brain fog improved a lot when I started following a FODMAPs eating plan. Coeliac disease gave me several other food intolerances and fructose in particular turns my brain to mush. Also worth mentioning - a relative with much worse brain fog issues was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and the treatment made a remarkable difference...

    Silencio - I've not had such a dramatic recovery but I can tell you that I do feel much better than I used to. My recovery was quite rough as I felt rather worse before I got better. After about eight months, I started figuring out my additional intolerances (soy, corn and FODMAPs) and that really helped. If you're not feeling better yet, keep looking for...

    If you're going to do the gluten challenge, my advice would be not to overdo it. I was so determined to make sure that my result would be reliable that I probably ate far too much gluten and I'm pretty sure it slowed down my recovery tremendously Don't be tempted to eat more than you need to.
  15. India
    I've been thinking about you a lot since I read your post and I'm so glad that you've had such positive news. Good luck to you xx

    They were 'nearly normal' early in the year so I'm guessing they've continued to improve. I'm wondering if it's possible to become more sensitive to gluten after being gluten-free for a while though?
  17. India
    Poor you, your reactions sounds horrible :/ I don't know if I'm being glutened or not... going gluten-free made me feel wrectched so I've been so scrupulous about avoiding gluten that I have no idea how sensitive I am. But I've spent much more time than usual cooking in gluten kitchens and sitting in pubs (I'm British!) with beer stained tables and wonder...
  18. India
    Thanks for your replies. I'm at peace with never eating gluten again but with so many other foods that bother me, I don't feel fully recovered. I am improved since a year ago though, so perhaps, like Takala, there will be a point where can feel at least much better However, I'm not having villi problems - but I can't eat fructose, onions, legumes, corn...

    I've been gluten free for almost two years. Early this year, I had a follow-up endoscopy which showed my villi had almost returned to normal. However, although some symptoms have improved, I still have a restrictive diet as I have a lot of bloating and food intolerances. If my gut is recovering well, why do I still have problems? Is my gut health still...

    I've followed the recent thread about reduced gluten reactions/recovery. I certainly don't think I've recovered, but I'd like to ask if you guys have experience of gluten reactions changing or decreasing over time? I've only been properly glutened once (18 months ago) and my symptoms included GI problems and muddling my words, usually nouns. Recently...

    Dear all, I will be visiting the US soon (Ohio, West Virginia and Texas) and this will be my first visit since going gluten-free. I'd be grateful for any advice on easily available/mainstream foods which are reliably gluten-free. I cook from scratch as often as possible and I'll take some kitchenware with me but I can't rely on being able to cook much...

    Hi all, I'll be visiting Frisco and Dallas (Texas) and Huntingon (West Virginia) next month and so I am seeking any recommendations for suitable places to eat. We're staying with friends/relatives so I'd like to arrive armed with plenty of suggestions so that things run as smoothly as possible. I'd also really appreciate your general suggestions on...

    Hi all, I'll be visiting the US soon and my trip will include three layovers at Atlanta airport - can anyone suggest any safe places to eat? We're arriving at terminal S each time but I don't know which concourse. Many thanks for your help, India
  24. India
    I was going to suggest meal planning, which someone else has already done. What I can suggest is googling 'meal plan Monday'. A friend of mine who lives alone swears by this method to make sure she uses all her food efficiently. She also freezes a lot of food, as do I, which avoids waste and really helps on those can't-be-bothered-to-cook days
  25. India
    Other people have given great advice and I'm sure more will contribute. I just have a couple of points to offer. The first is about the pills. If they bother you on an empty stomach, then I'd suggest also carrying a small snack to eat a few minutes beforehand. As you already have GI issues, there's no point upsetting your stomach, even if it reduces your...
