Why am I putting on weight?? Please help!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Since my last blood test (beginning of Jan) where my ferritin was 41, FT3 was 4

and T4 was 12 (all low) I have been taking Ferrous Sulfate and after about 5

weeks felt much better, more energetic, etc. I was on a baby dose of Levo,

50mcg.

Then about 2 weeks ago I doubled the dose - something my GP and you guys

suggested too (to increase it). First I felt ok and I still do feel fairly ok

but I have been rapidly putting on weight!! I don't weigh myself but I can tell

from my clothes and appearance!

I'm also doing a candida diet with Nisatin, caprilic acid, oregano complex,

probiotics and bicarbonate of soda, and previously I always lost weight while

doing this but not now!

I'm gluten and lactose free, and usually eat a low GI diet, but recently I have

been craving and eating gluten free oats as porridge (sweetened with Stevia) and

goats cheese!! I also had chocolate a few times, such uncontrollable cravings!

It annoys me so much because I spend hundreds of pounds on the Nystatin and

candida meds!!

I don't understand what is happening! I thought I would be losing weight if I

increased my Levo, or stay the same, not putting it on!! What's going on?

Can anyone advise please? My stomach also feels full and distended most of the

time.

Thanks,

Anita
