Thyroid problems?

lajonna

Anyone out there with hypo or hyper or hasimotos thyroid problems? I know mine has taken its toll on my weight. Have any of you found a good diet that helps you loose your weight or helps you all around with your thyroid health?

Well, you already know I have that problem but I've cut out A LOT of carbs and sweets.

I'm hypo and I found that I have to cut down on my food and workout extra hard. As long as I have blood work done every 6 months and am being regulated. . . I'm OK.

**cutting dairy products has helped.

Yeah i recently had an issue when my thyroid freaked out and loaded my system with a ton of histamine. And so everything i ate...I had an allergic reaction to! So then i went all gluten free...for a while...till my thyroid decided to let me be able to eat my 12 grain toast again.

I was hypo first then went super hyper. I have blood work every 6 weeks since i have hasimotos...which is a combination of the two. So its super back and forth. Eating right is the only way i have been able to keep my dose the same for the past 2 months.

I have they same problem & looking for a solution I lost b4 but I gained it back:( but cutting carbs & sweets seemed to have worked so I'm gonna go back to that. There's hope just gotta find what works for you

Gluten free has really helped me to stay stable and not rollercoaster between hyper and hypo:)

I have Hoshimotos (sp) and large thyroid nodules. I have lost 50 pounds but it's taken me 2 years. My doctor told me it is harder to lose weight with thyroid problems but not impossible. Try not to use it as a crutch. If you work hard you will lose weight anyway it will just take a little longer. Good luck and add me if you want a friend!!

I have a hyperactive thyroid but it's stabalized about a year ago. When I was getting it stabalized and went on the meds I gained a tonn of weight quickly but it's finally starting to come off.

So far the only thing that worked for me was a low carb diet (low GI). I tried a lot of exercise and 40/30/30f diet and that didn't work so well.

I have hyper and have had it sense I was a teenager. The thing that helped me the most was I stopped eating red meat I know that this is not for everyone but the hormones and steroids that the company's were giving the cows was what was making my thyroid go so crazy. Good luck!

i have hashimotos.. its horrible. i had radiation acrossed my jaw line and it really hurt my thyroid.. doctors couldnt figure why i was gaining weight. finally someone told me about this one regular gp and i went. he found the hashimotos .. it took awhile to get it under control, but once they did i lost almost 90lbs.i am at a high dose... i lost my health insurance in jan and had a problem getting my med, i was off the medicine for 6 months and packed on 40 lbs.. well i started my meds again and i am down almost 20 lbs, i started before i started using this awesome website.. but anyways thryoid issues basically suck...

Medication works great.

Yes! They truly suck. Meds did not help me lose weight. I ended up doing something also that helped. I feel so much better. Its a relief
