I have UCTD, and follow the AIP diet, which helps a ton and forces me to eat pretty healthy :)

My naturopathic doctor has recommended that I take myo-inositol to prevent GD, she also says it's great for managing GD if you already have it. I'm just waiting to find out about dosage recommendations before I start. I eat a very healthy diet overall, but I love my fruit and that kind of thing, and I really don't want to…

Are you sure your thyroid is under control? I don't have hypothyroid as far as I know, but I hear it is more complicated than most doctors are aware. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com Are you aware that hypothyroid is almost always an autoimmune illness? I don't know exactly what to tell you, I know cravings can be…

Most people are deficient in magnesium, because our farm soils are deficient in magnesium. Also in my previous post I forgot to mention that it's possible to have very powerful chocolate green smoothies, using raw cacao. The proportions take a little tweaking. I prefer to make this with blueberries, dates, and parsley…

By the way, there are a bunch of good facebook groups for these kinds of topics.

I can't imagine an elimination diet that includes soy, almonds, and eggs... these are three VERY allergenic foods! I am intolerant to two of them and the third is a gray zone for me. For you I'd recommend GAPS intro, though I feel they introduce eggs and dairy too early, but you start out avoiding them. Especially since…

You have gotten a lot of good advice already, but just want to phrase the basics another way. Focus on calories and macronutrients for awhile, not so much on fruits and veggies or hydration. You want everything balanced... protein, carbs, and fat. No low-anything. Find your micronutrient dense food in animal products:…

If you look under "my home" and "settings" to a page called "Food and Exercise Diary Settings", you'll see that you can view a number of different targets... some of the options are micronutrients, such as vitamins and iron. You can also just focus on high nutrient density. Joel Fuhrman (especially in "Super Immunity") and…

When I look at these threads I see some people that I am sure have health issues. People should not feel bad after eating adequate amounts of healthy food. (It's also a bad sign if people feel 'high' after ordinary meals.) Even if it is primarily psychological, which sounds possible for very few, physical health strongly…

One issue with taking iron supplements or food that is fortified with iron is that there are a lot of less famous but also very important micronutrients, and if a food is high in iron it is often high in many other micronutrients, including those that are less well known. Information about these is scattered all over the…

Take magnesium glycinate at night before bed. Drink herbal tea when you have cravings and distract yourself. Don't buy chocolate, make small amounts of chocolate bark when you're at home using raw cacao. You'll probably need to divide a recipe. An easier way to satisfy a sweet craving is to have a spoonful of virgin…

Sometimes low appetite can be caused by a number of real medical issues. One of the most common is gut dysbiosis, bacterial overgrowths... h. pylori, SIBO, candida, etc. There's also low digestive acid and enzyme output--caused by h. pylori, gut damage, and stress among other things. That's one reason that fulfilling…

Are his calorie levels actually adequate? Healthy diets tend to cause lower appetite and weight loss even when the food is yummy and filling, because it is less appetizing. Increase carbs (veggie form will be healthiest) and fat for him. For you, eat a lot of vegetables before every calorically significant meal... either a…

Check out the AIP diet (autoimmune protocol). The best groups are on facebook, such as "AIP Support." There are also blogs. Even if you don't do the diet itself you might like it as a recipe and nutrition information source. In AIP, everything you can't eat is disallowed, except for the seafood. There are also lots of…

See a doctor to investigate possible causes of low appetite and rapid satiety. Then, take digestive supplements: enzymes, hydrochloric acid, etc. Then while eating healthy food, add healthy fat to everything.

I'm planning on starting this soon. A bit nervous about getting that worn out, though!

I eat AIP (autoimmune protocol). I eat various forms of meat, seafood, and vegetables. If anything looks like it isn't fatty enough already, I douse it in fat of whatever kind... my go-to is a high quality, peppery olive oil. Coconut oil gets a lot of use too. For snacks I eat avocado, homemade liver pate on apples (Mickey…

I supplement with hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes and so on. It helps a lot with the bloating after meals. I also took strong oregano oil capsules to get rid of SIBO.

Let's see. I would suggest going fully pescetarian, not just vegetarian + tuna. There are lots of options in the morning. Eggs in any form. Stews. Leftovers heated up. Smoothies with a high proportion of nuts/seeds and fats, whether coconut milk or a liquid fat blended in and emulsified. For lunch, leftovers are easiest.…

I have been reading, I believe in Chris Kessler's blog, that people can test negative for autoantibodies and yet have an AI disease when their immune system is worn out and not producing antibodies generally. Who knows.
