Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 No, I haven't been buying any gluten free foods, other than a loaf of bread last week, which I've eaten 3 slices of. I have been eating more cheese and tortillas than before. Lunch is a problem, because I'm not sure what to have and I hate to take any time to prepare it....but this was a problem before gf also. I kind of end up snacking between breakfast and dinner (cheese and tortilla at noon, fruit at 2, chips at 4). I thought that any white flour product processed though quickly. I didn't realize that the gf flours were even worse. A couple years ago my mom and dad and I followed a diet from a book call something like Sugars and Flours. The diet was similar to the Beach diet. It excluded all sugars (even those found in products like ketchup) and all processed flours. I lost five pounds in two weeks and felt mostly better. I really do believe their is something to the theory that the processed (white) flours and rice (and even corn flour) are not nearly as good for you as whole grain, minimally processed (brown) flours and rice. So if I'm following you correctly, I shouldn't be too quick to jump on the gf processed foods or even baking my own bandwagon?Rejoyce Hanson wrote: Hi ,I have another thought.When you are doing your Gluten Free diet are you consuming a lot ofsubstitute products?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 My primary fall back for a quick meal is a ham and cheese roll up. I buy big packs of Provolone cheese – deli sliced in circles- from Sam’s. I buy the Hillshire Farms Deli Select ham or turkey – they come in those little Glad storage containers. I throw a few slices of ham on to a slice of cheese. I usually add a few olives and lettuce or whatever strikes my fancy. Then I roll it up and have them with pickles and fruit or veggies and dip. When we travel we frequently just take the packs of ham and cheese and fruit in a cooler and just eat on the road. You can always buy more wherever you are! If there is a Mc’s on the road we can supplement with fries for the kids if needed.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 , Yes, you will have to be very careful all the time. I have some good friends who are Celiac (a woman and her daughter) and she is not as careful about their diets. Needless to say they are often sick. I try to be extremely careful all the time. This whole incident with the rice mix made me very angry because I was trying to be careful and we got sick anyhow. I know some situations are unavoidable, but I started thinking that I can't trust packaged mixes anymore...I hate feeling that way. Congrats on starting a photography business. It sounds like a lot of work, but also fun. My husband used to photograph weddings and I went with him a few times. It was fun. This was pre-Celiac though and we were often invited to eat at the reception. If this happens for you and you are invited to eat, please be careful. nn ~Original Message~ Thanks for sharing with me, nn. I was thinking about what you said and realized that if indeed I'm going to react like this, I'll have to be very diligent about the diet. It's bad enough to feel real draggy on an average week, but what if it happens right before an important event? I'm starting a photography business and can't afford to feel horrible at a wedding I'm shooting. For that matter, what if I decide to put the kids in school and go to work. How will I make it through the day? This is really scary stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I know it will be sad not to eat the catered meals if they are from good caterers, not to mention trying the cakes.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I know it will be sad not to eat the catered meals if they are from good caterers, not to mention trying the cakes. I'll have to bring Power Bars and almonds I guess.....nn wrote: ,Yes, you will have to be very careful all the time.

This whole incident with the rice mix mademe very angry because I was trying to be careful and we got sick anyhow. Iknow some situations are unavoidable, but I started thinking that I can'ttrust packaged mixes anymore...I hate feeling that way.Congrats on starting a photography business. It sounds like a lot ofwork, but also fun. My husband used to photograph weddings and I went withhim a few times. It was fun. This was pre-Celiac though and we were ofteninvited to eat at the reception. If this happens for you and you areinvited to eat, please be careful. nn~Original Message~ Thanks for sharing with me, nn. I was thinking about what you said andrealized that if indeed I'm going to react like this, I'll have to be verydiligent about the diet. It's bad enough to feel real draggy on an averageweek, but what if it happens right before an important event? I'm startinga photography business and can't afford to feel horrible at a wedding I'mshooting. For that matter, what if I decide to put the kids in school andgo to work.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Gatorade and water with salt in it was a savior for my headaches during pregnancy. The doc said the salt was to boost my absorption of the electrolytes in the gatorade plus the boost to my system from the iodine in salt. Seems to me like it might be the same theory here?!?!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 >So since I went to 75 and the temps steadily dropped, and now i've gone up 12.5 and they dropped, should I switch to the 5xday t3 schedule AND add some more HC? I would go to 5 times a day and add some extra HC but lower the T3 for the first day to 50 or 62 depending how you feel. It is possible that the extra HC would make the 75 too much > >Any idea why my temp was a steady 98.6 yesterday out of the blue? Passing through a good place maybe??

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 >I'll give it a week and check back. you may well be able to go back to 75 after a day or two, it's just starting slow as you are raising HC a little nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 > >If my temp at the 75mcg was usually around 98.1 and my ave stays like that today and tomorrow after i've dropped down to 62.5mcg t3, what does that mean? Probably that you were too low on adrenals to cope with 75 dosed the way you had it. You are still hypo though so try 75 but spread out in 6 doses so it's low on adrenal pressure.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 >what would be a good 6 times a day schedule for 75mcg? Half a tablet at a time means 6 halves for 75 > >I'm taking my HC 10,10,5,5 foru hours apart, except the last dose is at bed something like take a dose with the HC and then a dose in between for the earlier doses (ie 2 hours apart, one with HC, and next not) Take a dose with the bed time HC as you turn the light out. I seem to get away with doses further apart in the evening than I can the morning. I hope that makes sense, it's bed timme and I am off to bed now Nick -- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
