Hello, I am hoping for some input from anyone that has or is taking thyroid medication of any kind. I have Hashimoto's and subclinical hypothroidism. At this point my doctor is mainly treating...
Thanks HypoHashimoto. I have heard a lot of people mention adrenals in terms of them being the cause of not tolerating thyroid meds. What's not always clear to me though is if people are referring to...
Thanks hypohashimoto, yeah there seems to be an array of opinions even among doctors as to what levels indicate a need for treatment. My doctor does treat people that are "subclinical" if their...
Thank you for your response! No I was not yet on medication when I had those labs done. My dr is treating based on the fact that I have Hashimotos and that my tsh is a bit out of range, but also by...
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with some side effects I've been having from Tirosint (Levothyroxine in gel cap form for anyone who doesn't know). I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's a little over...
Hi Alcie, I try to avoid sulfites but take a lot of Gaviscon! I had no idea it had sulfites in it? Can you tell me which ingredient it is so I can recognize it in other drugs as well? Is it in all...
Laura FR - Thank you for the encouragement regarding the Tirosint. I do hear mostly good things and very few people that have had issues. I will be seeing my endo tomorrow and will most likely start...
Thank you for the response kremesko! That's great to hear you have had no side effects from Levothyroxine. If I could, I would absolutely start with a portion of the pill and work my way up (I've...
I have not had a colonoscopy. My diagnosis of IBS was pretty much based on my fitting the Rome diagnostic criteria perfectly. My GI doctor did consider doing a colonoscopy a few years ago when I had...
Kazbern - I've tried going gluten free twice for about 2-3 months each time and am currently trying again. The only thing I'm not positive of is if any of the medications I take now or took then have...
Thanks again for your response! That's good to hear your meds still work with food. My doctor definitely wants me to try on an empty stomach (and she knows very well how sensitive I am) but that's...
Hi! Do you actually gag, or do you just have a sensation of your gag reflex being triggered and a feeling that you could gag any second? I have had issues with a gagging sensation myself on and off...
Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone knows about the likelihood of false negatives on either blood testing or intestinal biopsy? I have had an array of changing GI symptoms over the years (gas,...
I see that your first post was 2 years ago, so hopefully you have found some help, but if not, don't let the doctors tell you it's all in your head! I went (and am still working through) a similar...
Darah, great to hear you've found something natural that works for you! I don't seem to do well with ACV due to GERD (I know it helps many with GERD, but it also really bothers some) so I'm not sure...
Thank you, that's great to hear you've had such a great experience with Tirosint. It's definitely encouraging! Ironically I am more worried about the actual levothyroxine than the fillers (I know...
Hello, I'm hoping some of you more knowledgeable than me may be able to help me with the mystery of my chronic allergies. I have had them since I was very young (about 20 years or so now). I used to...
Hello, I have been recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I have mild hypothyroidism (TSH cycles between 3 and 5.5, but Free T3 & Free T4 are normal). Also have an enlarged thyroid with nodules as seen...
As someone who began suffering from Acid Reflux and IBS at the age of 5, I can relate! It's important to know specifically what symptoms your daughter is suffering from. You say Acid Reflux, as well...
Thank you! Yes, I have asked my GI Dr as well as a nutritionist. The GI doctor understands and agrees that even a little bit of C would a trigger with the severity of my GERD, but doesn't know of an...
Has anyone found a multivitamin/supplement or way to get vitamins without vitamin c? My GERD is extremely sensitive to even the smallest bit of ascorbic acid. However, I am deficient in many vitamins...
