Thyroid Treatment & Iodine Levels In Kids

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My dd (8 yrs old) is overweight, (115 lbs) and has other hypo symptoms

and is even getting gray hairs!

I had her thyroid tested

TSH = 3.41 (.3 - 5.5)

T4 = 1.18 (.9 - 1.8)

T3 total = 227 (70 - 170)

There is a STRONG history of thyroid autoimmune disorders in our family.

MD won't test anti's and thinks her TSH is fine so I'm on my own.

Anyway, I'm looking into Celiacs and learning a lot.

I have had her on 12.5 Iodoral/day for several weeks and have noticed

a *slight* weight reduction and better energy. She still has gray

hairs coming in which is very bizarre in a n 8 yr old don't you think?

She takes b complex, vit C, CLO daily and a bit of selenium several

times weekly.

I am tempted to start her on a 1/8 - 1/4 gr Armour.

What do you think?

Thanks!

DD
