I'm too tired to work out sometimes even though I know it will make me feel better in the end. I literally feel like I might fall asleep at teh wheel in the middle fo the day if I were to drive somewhere. I also feel like I have trouble distinguishing between hunger, tiredness, headache, etc and I tend to eat to see if I will feel better. Does anyone else feel like this?

Oh yes ! Armour cured it for me. All based on a Dr that worked with traditional methods like temp charts, and borderline results in blood tests. Good luck!

azmom3, I am not Ursula but - yes - you definately sound Hypo Thyroid. Many Drs don't have a clue when it comes to dx Thyroid. Low Temps are a strong indicator. Basal temp is the temp you take before you get out of bed.Any good thermometer will work. Your Dr needs to test TSH, free T3, free T4, and Antibodies for Hashimotos. A good site to check all the info is www.stopthethyroidmadness.com That tells you all you need to know and they have forums as well to help if you are :unsure: a bit.

Get your test results printed and tell them the results. Lots of people get told 'normal' as the Dr or the lab don't realise the lab ranges for Hypo Thyroid have been changed. And are still under review.

Thanks, Georgie! It's ok that you're not Ursula...you sound just as helpful and nice. :D

Iodone-Skin Patch Test:

1. Purchase an inexpensive 2% solution of Iodine (Lugol's Solution) at any drug store.

2. Paint a 1 to 2 inch square patch of skin with solution, staining the skin brown. You can use the thyroid area or more conveniently, the abdomen, an upper arm or thigh, being carful not to contact any clothing until completely dry to avoid staining. Note the time you apply the iodine.

3. Iodine-deficiency is indicated when the stain is gone in under 24 hrs. This may be linked to hypothyroidism. If the stain lasts 24 hrs. or more, iodine status is normal. This supports normal thyroid function.

This very simple method will not only diagnose the problem, but will get your thyroid functioning again. Repeat this iodine test every three to six months. In the meantime, take supplements with iodine, such as kelp (the highest concentration of iodine known) or eat iodine-rich foods, such as beef liver, turdey, asparagus, white onions and broccoli.

Caution: Don't apply iodine more than once in a twenty-four hour period as you may experience symtoms of iodine overdose: heightened awareness dilated pupils, and a metallic tast in the mouth.

Like I said I don't know anything more on this test but I can ask my husband or you can show this to your doc.

blessings,

Gail

I did this test almost two months ago for my kinesiologist who has been trying to help me via email.

The first splotch I put on disappeared within an hour and a half.

I thought maybe I did it wrong, so I tried again. The second splotch took a little under six hours to disappear.

I'm sure that means nothing to my GP, but to me it is just further proof that my thyroid levels ARE NOT NORMAL! ARgh! :blink::blink::blink:

Time for a new Doc :blink:

Armour, Iodine, check for adrenal fatigue, take temp , make temp graphs, check Ferritin, b12 , celiac

Read stopthethyroidmadness for mistakes patients make re dosing Armour. Do the adrenal self test - its fairly accurate. Temps.

There are Docs that will do this. You just have to find them :)

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
