Farfelue

Donna. I wish there was a smiley that would do justice to the face I made when I read your post. Why am I surprised? I shouldn't be. Well, thanks for the info. I've had Raynaud's as a child. There goes. Oh I'm p****d off with it all!

Sorry, another thing. About dairy, if it is best to remove it from my eating regime, do you think I could get away with Lactofree (lactose removed)? Because they do cheese spread, yogurts (albeit highly sugary) and a sort of kind of cheddar. I do miss a yogurt for dessert and I would like to drink my tea with something…

High fiber blocks absorption??? That too?

Wow! that's crazy! So there could be some truth... thing is, we read so many stuff, you just don't know what to go with after a while. I have to say, I eat spinach (cooked) and asparagus (cooked) occasionally and like everything else in life (other than chocolate), in moderation, it's okay. Interesting what you wrote about…

Hello Donna, I had my first at 32 and was diagnosed when she was a few months, I too felt the tiredness and weight were just linked to having a baby. But I couldn't understand the muscle weakness. My levels were soooo bad it was obvious I was hypo and I was put on Levo right away, 100 mcg if I recall well. Felt SOOO good…

Hello Donna, I have been doing a lot of high intensity cardio for a long time and not getting very far (hahahah literally as it's a stationary bike!!) and some running, dropping a bit and putting on some more and yo-yo... As I've mentioned before, I haven't done exercise in the past two weeks (I should be on the stationary…

Hey Tecallahan (sorry I read your real name somewhere but it's escaped me!) A MEGA HUGE THANK YOU, that is probably one of the most interesting read I've had in a looong time since trying to understand that ****, sorry, *illness"! How fascinating. I will be sure to copy/paste and print and bring it to my endo whom I am due…

How do you find out if you have reverse T3? Is it a test you need to nag your endo about? How does it work please, the RT3 thingy? x

Hello Hope, I read (can't remember where though) a while back that green tea and white tea were -you're going to hate me more!- NOT recommended for hypothyroid because of the fluoride content... Don't ask me more I can't remember, but google it. Here's just one link :…

Very helpful indeed Dona, thank you! I need to bounce ideas from other people's food regime (better word than diet, hey?!) to find what works for me. So yes, thank you. So what do you eat then? What's a typical day? No milk (so no coffee, no tea, no cereals) no yogurt, no cheese (so no dessert)! What do you snack on? (I am…

Seaglass, I don't eat wheat for real bad IBS so I eat oats which I know contain gluten, but since they don't give me cramps and spasms, I figured there were okay. # Funny you ask me that now and I'm trying to figure out what went right when I was away. I didn't consume any oat products... I used to eat a lot of rice cakes…

Tecallahan, I know there is gluten in oats but I seem to tolerate oats well, whereas I get terrible IBS with wheat. So I don't eat wheat, but I eat oats instead. And I don't consume milk because I think it makes me bloated, and I no longer eat yogurts either, so I drink oatmilk instead. Oh and as a treat, instead of a…

I meant the Post of the subject, the topic, is very interesting. Not mine personally! AHAHAHAH!

That post is very interesting. I can go up and down 2 kilos (yes kilos, that's about 4 pounds) in 3 days! I started on MFP not very long ago and was on 1200 cals and sometimes under. Exercise : stationary bike, occasional running and walking. Nothing happened. Fell off the bandwagon a couple of times but "made up" the…

You are so right there emmnjjsmom, about your body telling you to eat. And you're not really hungry and you don't really need the food, it's the thyroid hormones messing up. And you eat, but you don't actually feel better. So glad to have read that you are feeling some improvement. Give it a month and you might not…

Hello Emnjjsmom, I am hashi hypo, post partum. I could not tolerate wheat based products after birth of second child. Got tested twice, negative for coeliac. So gluten is not the problem (pfew, it's everywhere!) but I stay well clear of wheat. I buy fancy spelt flour and make very thin pizza base with it and I'm fine, so…

"Don't log a weight loss until I see it 3 days in a row" What a totally brilliant idea!!!! I feel a cretin for not having done it so far!! I keep yo-yoing (I weight every day too, daft I know but can't help it) because of course my week's loss is interfered by my weekend's "treat" so I go down, then back up a bit, then…

First thank you mnjjsmom for posting on the other board that there was a hypo/hyper group on here, I didn't know. Tx! I too get so cold on feet and hands they go all white, blood circulation stops. Then when they warm up, they go purple and tingle. It is Raynaud's disease. Look it up on internet but don't scare yourself! I…

Hashi Hypo too, found post partum. To sblueyez, I too was on "normal" level but I kicked till I got what I wanted : combination treatment T3 T4. Haven't felt this good in years. I recommend http://thyroid-disease.org.uk/index.php a brilliant website full of very helpful and supportive people. Lots of knowledge on there too.

I've done the same. And I've put weight on. It's a case of "I'm fed up", using food for totally the wrong reason. I was clearing up the larder yesterday, and 6 yes 6, breakaways (children's own) fell in my mouth. It needs to be said I was feeling very very down this weekend and I need to pick myself up. I consumed nearly…

I agree, Android is brilliant and you won't be disappointed with HTC. Very very good phone.

Hello Nattiejean This is the first time I dare post here. I'm not sure about it all... I have a similar problem, although my junk is not KFC and the likes. I will demolish a packet of walkers extra crispy crisps (family size) or tesco's tortillas lightly salted, with a couple of glasses of wine, on the sofa, after dinner.…
