Intro

[Guest guest]

I think I forgot to intro myself? Name Marcie. Meet on the

gfcf board. My oldest son at age 5 (very long story) was found to

have Graves Disease. After searching and searching apparently there

are only two known cases of kids have graves. I say bull donky and

kids should be tested yearly. My son also has Celiac and so I am a

full believer in the gluten, dairy, soy free diet. (very long story)

For years I went to doctor after doctor, tired and whatnot I would

get told over and over you are fine go home. Or you have kids of

course your tired go home and nap. After having my second child is

when it hit the worse. It would be 90 outside and I would be crashed

out on the couch wrapped up in a blanket. I couldn't go outside

because it was cold. but according to the doctors I was fine? So

after baby number 3 I gave up on doctors and researched myself. I

found what I needed and actually found most of it in one pill which I

found on ebay. After two months I had energy, I was off the couch no

longer napping. So when I found a great Natural Doctor and showed her

the thyroid stuff and she was impressed and told me to stay on it.

Since it was working for me and my numbers were nearly normal.

But my husband is another story, he is very hypo. His up to 120

Armour and his numbers are still dropping so after talking with

I am here to try and learn in any spare time I have. My

husband goes in for a scope on the 2nd for Celiac, also he's iron

levels are nearly zero and we need to find out why. He is even on

iron shots and iron pills. So after the scope his diet is changing.

Along with me working on his thyroid. He goes in for labs on Monday

and we go from there.

I am a big believer everyone in the world needs to be tested for

Celiac Disease. But I do not believe in the blood test. 1 in 133

people have Celiac and only 3% of the people know about it. Those

numbers are scary.
