Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Patty, I think I will hold off on iodine supplements, and keep on top of my levels. Ive just started a gluten free diet, and its all I can do not to stuff my face full of bread. hugs, Beth > > Beth, > It can be complicated....as sometimes iodine can be helpful and other > times it can be hurtful.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi Beth, I know how hard it is! One secret that works for me is to focus on what I CAN eat, as opposed to what I can't eat. Now, bread holds no major attraction to me at all. I can skip it quite easily. See what you have to look forward to when you set your mind to it? You'll do great! And you'll feel better too!
