  • lappelget: I've also been told to stop eating additives & sweeteners. What do you use? I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out my coffee! How long do you do light lifting? I run out of things to do with wts after a few minutes! :happy: [/quote] I don't use anything now. It was a super tough adjustment. When I finally…

  • Welcome Pamela! I'm also over weight, hypothyroid, PCOS, Adrenal Fatigued (as well as celiac, lactose intolerant, and have Hashimoto's). It can be tough, but it can be done. My weight loss has been VERY slow and frustrating, but when the scale finally moves it's like angels are singing down to you :) I've found that the…

  • Hi there :) I feel for you! It's so frustrating! I coincidentally just had blood drawn this morning for my cushing's test as well. My endo doesn't think I have it either, but thinks I may have PCOS and they have to rule it out. I've been really struggling to lose weight and feel better and then I stumbled upon the most…

  • I am GF because of my Hashi's. I read this great book called "why am I still having thyroid symptoms" - it's all about Hashimoto's. My antibody count was 950 and after going GF they dropped to 500 in just six weeks. Still really high but I'm feeling much better than I was. I wish I had any tips and tricks right now on how…

  • I have Hashi's as well and after cutting gluten out of my diet (I had already cut dairy out) I feel so much better! I don't even miss it like I thought I would. I could tell a huge difference in how I felt after only two days. I've read several books that state that more often than not gluten intolerance and hashi's go…
    in Hashimoto's is ruining my life.. can you help save me? Comment by lappelget February 2012
  • Thanks everyone! I prefer to get my vitamins from natural sources as much as possible so I will totally try the Brazil nuts. And right before I came back to this page I was on stopthethyroidmadness.com - it's a wonderful page, full of information. I have another appointment with my primary this afternoon and I will ask her…

  • I put 1/2 cup of dry black beans (or lima beans, or lentils, or anything else that is dry) with 1 cup of chicken broth and garlic powder and pepper and let them cook on low until all the liquid is absorbed in to the bean. Wonderful flavor! (usually takes around 6 - 8 hours, perfect for throwing them together before work…

  • I lost 100lbs on the old program about 5 years ago. Have managed to keep most of it off (sneaky 20lbs has climbed back on) - I went back to weight watchers to try the new program and it didn't make much sense to me (couldn't wrap my mind around not having to count fruit - I mean there's just so much sugar in fruit). I will…
