Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hello Everyone, I have been on iodine (6 drops Lugol) for about 3 months now. On and off as I deal with the die off and detox symptoms. I this forum for iodine information and love to follow the conversations and learn. But the hardest part of iodine for me is the weight gain I have been experiencing. I¡¦m taking Lugol for Thyroid and Candida issues. I have been fighting Candida for 3 years. I have my thyroid under control with Armour. I follow the Candida diet (for pass Three years), I don¡¦t eat sugar, anything white, pretty much gluten free. And I still don¡¦t lose weight. At least for the pass 3 years I have been on the Candida diet I haven¡¦t gained weight. My nutritional expert I see does not understand why the weight is not falling off me. She scratches her head when I visit her and I have to tell you it is so frustrating. I just want to give up. However, since I started the Lugol, I have had a slow, but gradual gain in weight. I have gone from a size 12 to a size 16 in 3 months. I am also on the supplement protocol that¡¦s required with iodine. I have not changed my diet and I notice that I am swollen/bloated around the area¡¦s were I have cellulite (Arms, stomach, highs, butt). Moreover, that¡¦s were I itch like crazy. So now, I am a bloated - FAT ¡V itchy ¡V miserable person. Please someone tell me this is temporary and that this iodine is not making me sick. So many people rave about their success and health. Has anyone experienced weight gain when taking iodine? I have read the articles that say Iodine aids in the weight lose, but not for meƒ¼.
