Hi I am currently on an Anti-Candida diet prescribed by my doctor. A few things after reading your post: First, in order to keep your blood sugar stable, you need to be snacking in between meals. Second, all grains and dairy need to be eliminated from the diet. Lean meats, nuts, veggies and good fats are to be consumed. If…

Hi, I have thyroid disease and can relate to your story. First, are you being medicated for your underactive thyroid? The most important part here is to make sure you are getting enough of the replacement medication. Even if you are medicated, but still experiencing hypo symptoms, you may not have enough medication. Your…

Hi! I've been struggling with this disease for the past 13 years. It took me a while to be diagnosed and in that time I had gained 40lbs. Once I got medicated, the scale didn't move, however I finally found a good/progressive doctor who said that I was being severely under-medicated for years, thus not being able to shed…

Thank you for this post. I've had hashimoto's disease for the past 13 years. I'm constantly having to adjust my medication. One month I will be fine and then the next time I see the doc, I'm under medicated and growing a goiter. I've recently had a bump up in meds to 150 mcg and after two months it doesn't seem to be…

I know that Bisquick makes a gluten free version. Maybe you can make dumplings with it? It has many uses including pancakes, biscuits etc.

If you are having trouble with the fit and you know someone who sews, you can always buy them a little baggy and have someone tailor them down for you. I have problems shopping because not only am I short, but my waist is 10 inches smaller than my hips. I end up getting pants that are way too big in the waist and snug in…

I've been hypo for about 12 years now and I can tell you its a struggle. Generally it takes about a month for the meds to saturate your system and about 3 months of consistently taking it before you feel any kind of change. its very easy with this disease to gain weight and a struggle to lose it, but it can be done. I feel…

I have a fitness center in the building I work in, so I go on my lunch hour. I spend about 45 to 50 minutes working out. the other 10 minutes is time for changing clothes, wiping myself down and refreshing my makeup/deodorant. I like being able to fit my workout in during my work day, so I don't have to rush home and try…

Thanks for this recipe! I've been looking for ways to "health-up" some italian dishes. Since Fall will be coming shortly, this would be perfect comfort food without all the calorie guilt. Now I have some new uses for all the zucchini I'm growing in my garden!

I forgot about this place! I had no idea it had become a mecca for fitness folks. I'm going to have to plan a visit. My boyfriend will be interested in this too. Another great place for hiking and steps is at Starved Rock. All that up and down to each cliff kicks my butt. Great scenery too!
