    If you do that I shall change mine to alwayssomethingtoo. Because that's what it feels like! I do think getting the levels checked is a smart idea. If they're low you know that supplementing can help. I get very annoyed with my tingling when it becomes pronounced...it can be hard to ignore.

    Hi Cristiana, I think that stress and anxiety can bring out our physical ailments or make the existing ones worse. That's been my experience at least. I have also had tingling in my feet, toes and fingers. I always wonder if it has something to do with my thyroid because that thing is having issues. Have you had your b12 and ferritin levels checked...

    Hello and (((hugs))) It sounds awful. The 2 times I've been glutened were from restaurants and it took me about 2 weeks to recover. It's terrible. I now only eat out at the one gluten free restaurant we have. Other than that I do a whole lot of cooking. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 and can't be out for 2 weeks. For me...I wouldn't go back...I got...

    It looks like progress has been made! I just read that the 1 minute commercial has been pulled, but there are still 2 left. 1 is 30 seconds, 1 is 2 minutes. If you haven't sent this to the people that love you that watched your body falling apart due to this disease, please do it. I'd love to see this while thing get pulled.

    Thank you ladies! This is why I prefer to go to the medical offices of Dr's Nic and Gem...they are so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I actually went hyper a few months ago and didn't like it. My TSH was .72, but my hands were shaking constantly...could not hold a book still enough to read it...my anxiety went way up and I had a hard time sleeping....

    Forward this to anyone you can!! Looks like they're at 13,600 signatures and need 15,000.

    The suggestions at our house so far...wings, nachos, chips and salsa, pizza, crackers, cheese and pepperoni. All from the teenager! It's amazing how much he can put away!

    Totally with you sunny. I sent this off to my friends and family. I've gotten some responses that people have signed it already.

    Thanks Dr Nicole! Thyroid problems stink! Previously we did generic cytomel. First 5 mcg, then 2.5...by cutting it in half. With both I had this uncomfortable chest tightness and D. They don't make a smaller dose than 5 therefore the compounding pharmacy thought. Obviously my body doesn't convert from T4 to T3 as it should so I agree I need some...

    I find this really annoying!! Signed it!

    Lol Laura! We are completely bummed by who's in the Super Bowl...especially my oldest who's a huge 49ers fan...but we're all gonna watch and eat something yummy!

    I'm so frustrated with thyroid stuff...just got my lab results from last week. TSH 2.62 (.45-4.5) Free T3 1.8 (2.0-4.4) Free T4 1.34 (.82-1.77) The only thing that's been changed is that in November my endo switched me to brand name Levoxyl instead of generic. I don't understand why my free T3 is going down. In August it was at 2.2, in November...

    I was just thinking about that...good timing! I'm thinking about asking the hubs and each of the kids to pick one thing that they really want to have and use that as a starting point. Your chicken sounds great! I'll be watching this thread for more ideas.

    Wow...thanks Cristiana! That's good to hear. Looking at the list I've largely been eating low FODMAPS...but when I look over the weekend I had a few other things that were on the high side and then I think the Brussels sprouts took me over the edge. Thanks so much for sharing that!
  15. icelandgirl
    I'm beginning to suspect that I may have an issue with high FODMAPS foods after a run in I had with Brussel sprouts this weekend. It caused tremendous gas, bloating, some pain and of course D...my favorite(not). I had the same type of reaction when I tried broccoli, cauliflower and watermelon. All are also high FODMAPS. I realize it could be something...

    Tonight I'm making chicken sandwiches and garlic parmesan fries. Yum!
  17. icelandgirl
    Yum! Cashews with dark chocolate enjoy life chips is so good!
  18. icelandgirl
    I love Enjoy Life chocolate chips...gluten, soy and dairy free. They are my one treat and are really yummy.

    I agree with Nicole...I'm embarrassed for Joy. I don't even get it...what she was thinking.

    I was worried about the gut issues as well. I saw a bread in there that looked great until I saw that it called for oat flour...well I can't do that unless I want to be in pain...so, anyway...The pancakes were good. If you make anything from the book, please report back!
  21. icelandgirl
    Aww...it sounds really frustrating... (hugs)...I hope the new plan works quickly!
  22. icelandgirl
    Hi! I received this as a birthday present. So far I've only made the pancakes...which were great. I used King Arthur AP for that. I do not like the taste of Bob's and I've been intimidated by the psyllium husk powder as well so I figured I'd chime in.
  23. icelandgirl
    I'm sorry...that sounds frustrating! I had my last baby 2 months before I turned 40 so you have time! Do you know what your levels are now and what they were previously? It would be good to know that to see if there is at least improvement. I know that it takes a while for vitamin D levels to go up. I believe mine went up 3 points in 4 months. I'm...

    I second both of the above. I have made a few recipes from each site and they've turned out well. Both ladies also have cookbooks out.

    It really is a winter wonderland right now. While I was drinking coffee I just sat and watched it...looks magical.
