Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Patty, I'm thrilled for you . . . Your baby is doing great, and so are you! . . . I'm praying that your doctor will become one of our crusaders! . . . We desperately need a medical doctor willing to stick their neck out and tell the world! The idea that 3 of 10 young women have implants is beyond sickening! . . . If just 1% of these children become seriously ill, a disaster is in works! Now I'm wondering if my diet changes helped my thyroid! Love you, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? I think from this message your pregnant right? I want to have a baby soon too. I am just not sure if I should wait or start trying now. What do you think? How long did you wait to get pregnant? I was not sick, but I gained weight with the implants the last 2 years and am concerned that I might get really heavy if I get pregnant now. Do you think I should lose weight before I get pregnant? By the way Congratulations! Babies are so wonderful. Such blessings. I want at least 1 more. I have a daughter so I really want a little boy. Do you want a boy or a girl? As long as they are healthy i guess that is all that counts!!!!!!!! In , " JOSEPH PALANCA " <juliejp61@m...> wrote: > Just wanted everyone to know, most of you are filled in that I'm pregnant. Well, usually 80% of patients with thyroid issues in their 1st trimester need about 50% -90% more thyroid hormone, as the placenta utilizes most of the mommies , so you become temporally hypothyroid and need more for a few months.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 - Wow julie I am so glad that your doctor is keeping you tested so that he was able to catch that! hyperthyroidism can be extremely serious if not under control. did you tell your gyne about being hyper thyroid? Please keep a very close watch on it. Hopefully your body will react quickly to dropping the meds down also. I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Kathy, that why I see him often -for a while almost every month. Dr Manakas is very thorough. He would never have guessed that the gluten was affecting my thyroid to that extent and so quickly, that I would be producing my own hormones, so fast. It was funny though, I was only exhibiting slight hyperthyroidism, so its not like my heart was racing or anything. He is bringing me down in proper dosages and is not concerned about this affecting the baby, as most women need more thyroid the first three months, so for a short time, more is better than less. Not optimal, but ok. I'm not concerned kathy! He caught it! I feel great and know God is protecting me. And this baby. Thanks for your concern . It is good though- I am getting better with the removal of gluten .So to me, it was good news to need LESS thyroid meds! !

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I agree! your news is good. I just wanted to make sure that they were very on top of the situation. I hope that my gluten free diet leads me to better utilization of my thyroid hormone also! Glad to hear that all is well with baby! love, kathy > > Just wanted everyone to know, most of you are filled in that I'm > pregnant.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Dear Rogene -- Would you think I should wait 1-2 months -- eating just corn and rice cereal to get all the gluten out of my system first -- and then re- introduce this imported oatmeal? Is Kamut any good? Thanks for the tip about the imported oats -- I will miss my oatmeal in the morning until I can find this. Regards, lu > lu, > > I saw a friend who has Celiac disease over the > weekend.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 lu, can tell you a lot more about beginning a gluten-free diet than I can. . . What information I have is second hand through and a friend with Celiac disease. You may find this web site interesting though . . ..They are in the DFW area and hold meetings. The webmaster is my friend's husband. http://dfwceliac.org/ Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
