Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi, my name is Debbie and I'm a newbie here.I have been underactive for 12 years and now have haemochromotosis to boot!Can anyone suggest a healthy-living diet to help combat the effects I'm suffering with? It's the usual stuff: fatigue, insomnia, depression - generally feeling run down.I will be writing to Dr. Peatfield to be on the waiting list for a consultation but I understand that list is pretty long. Any advice in the meantime will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi sorry its been a long time answering, in new to the site and i wasnt sure how to pick up messages etc... Im a bit of a PC Spaz!! Im currently taking 100mcg Levothyroxine per day, and my diet is very varied - breakfast = granola with goats milk. lunch = fruit pack and yoghurt Tea = everything you can think of from sausage n mash to chilli n rice, plenty of salads, spag bolli or chicken n chips or beans on toast or chicken curries. Sundays are usually a beef roast dinner and i know im supposed to cut back on red meat and alcohol, which i have tried to do, althjough prob have too many coffee and Teas a day, but i do ensure i drink apprx a litre of water a day too Hope this is enough info - am going for a thyroid blood test next weds. Look forward to your reply on this and you can let me know where im going wrong Cheers Debbie > > Hi Debbie > > Welcome to the forum! > > Please can you advise what your diet is currently like? > > What are you taking at the moment? > > Chris [Ed] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
