Re: thyroid meds/no appetite

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

 

Thanks for that..I have to wait to get to see a Dr who will prescribe natural

thryroid mix...in the meantime I went to my GP today and asked for tertroxin t3

....as I have been doing research into the thyroid hormones etc....(as I have

only been taking thyroxine t4 for 20 years...as you probably know you need both

t4/t3 to feel normal).

 

...anyway the ingredients for tertroxin is...

 

lactose,maize starch,acacia,sodium chloride, magnesium stearate

 

will ingesting 2 tablets a day (20mcg) with these ingredients affect my

health/progress on your diet??

 

My Dr said to go off Thyroxine for a month while on the tertroxin and then get

levels checked by blood test and see what is happening..I thought I should

decrease slower off the thyroxine and keep a minimum dose while taking t3.

 

 

My energy has been really low, cold,increase in cravings for sugar,

heart racing, irritable, and no appetite really...and food just sits in my

guts for hours and hours....it's like nothing is moving the way it should and it

is getting me down.....I force myself to eat even though I have no appetite and

this makes me feel more bloated and worse. I am taking the h.acid but only 3 per

meal as I was taking 10 per meal as nothing was happening ...

 

Bee, sorry if you don't want to get into the thyroid issue..but seeing you have

no thyroid I know you will have insight.....I just need to get my thyroid levels

correct etc...I know it will take time but I cannot ignore my thyroid health as

even getting super healthly on your diet if my thyroid levels are all out of

quack it will be harder and I still won't feel as good as I should...I know it

takes time

 

On a better note...my kids are going great on the diet....they are glowing with

health...people are commenting a lot on how my kids look...pity about their Mum

lol!!

 

Thanks again Bee,

+++ Shomon is a good source of information on the thyroid:

http://thyroid.about.com/bio/-Shomon-350.htm

Also check out Dr. Rind's information:

http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-therapy

Dr. Rind recommends treating the adrenals with hormones too, but I don't because

taking hormones negatively affect the body more than anything else and there is

plenty of adrenal help and support on my program.

All the best, Bee

+++Hi . I do know we need both t4 and t3.

+++Please do not take that product. It contains lactose, which is the sugar in

dairy products that most people cannot digest and it feeds candida. It also

contains maize starch which is from corn.

>>My Dr said to go off Thyroxine for a month while on the tertroxin and then get

levels checked by blood test and see what is happening..I thought I should

decrease slower off the thyroxine and keep a minimum dose while taking t3.

+++You should follow your doctors advice so he/she can accurately monitor your

thyroid. Actually your GP should refer you to an endocrinologist.

>> My energy has been really low, cold,increase in cravings for sugar, heart

racing, irritable, and no appetite really...and food just sits in my guts for

this makes me feel more bloated and worse. I am taking the h.acid but only 3 per

meal as I was taking 10 per meal as nothing was happening.

+++Many of your symptoms are not due to thyroid issues.

>>>Bee, sorry if you don't want to get into the thyroid issue..but seeing you

out of quack it will be harder and I still won't feel as good as I should...I

know it takes time

+++Just follow your doctor's advice and you will do fine. I see an

endocrinologist every 3 years who reviews my tests and he said the combination

of thyroid meds I take are doing a terrific job for me.

>>> On a better note...my kids are going great on the diet....they are glowing

with health...people are commenting a lot on how my kids look...pity about their

Mum lol!!

+++That is great news!

All the best, Bee

Hi Bee,

 

I'm just confused now as you said to follow my Dr's advice ....which would mean

taking the textroxine....they you said don't take the textroxine..

 

I can't get in to see a endochronologist till July 6th to get natural meds....so

in the meantime i don't know what to do with my thyroid meds...take the

tertroxin and feed the candida or just go back to synthetic dose of oroxine a

day....what would you do?

 

I know you are not a doctor Bee but any suggestions would be great..

Thanks,

Did you ask your doctor for a natural form of t3 instead of a synthetic form?

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

No ..my Dr had never heard of T3 supplimentation with T4..or natural

alternatives...and he doesn't know of any doct. who prescribes natural thyroid

hormone...he said I was his first ever patient to suggest/request it!

 

 He admitted he was not familiar with thyroid doses etc...so he refered me to a

endo. ...but I have had to find a different one by many phonecalls and enquires

to find a endo. who does the natural thing!! ...as I said 6th July is my

appointment with an endo. who prescribes natural thyroid..

 

..so in the meantime ........I know you suggested not taking the tertroxine

because of being synthetic and added substances.....but would just taking it

until I see this Dr have that much affect on me if I am following the diet/sups

etc??

 

I had started taking tertroxin (only 20mcg..once a day) over the last 2

days....and immediately felt more energy....... and this continued for the rest

of the day...also my appetite has improved........as I have had hardly no energy

or appetite for 2 months from being on this diet (i know this comes with

starting the diet and getting well but I know I have been hypothyroid too..).

+++Hi ,

Please do not take tertroxin prior to your appointment with the endocrinologist

since your test results will be inaccurate so he/she will not be able to decides

how much natural and synthetic hormones he needs to perscribe.
