Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 i know this is slightly off topic because my son doesnt have Graves, but if i could ask for help explaining the lab results and what scales are valid and what changed, and if i can make subtle changes using diet i recently had my son who is 8 checked as he has been suffering ongoing constipation problems and i wondered if it was related.. Free T3 .. 12.8pmol/L (10.0-19.0) TSH .. .. 2.94miu/l (0.50-4.00) Free T4 .. 6.0pmol/l (3.5-6.5) From what ive been reading the TSH is now considered off if over 2.5 ? have the other messurments changed as well.. esp T4, seeing he is so high there, if the scales have changed? if these results are towards the hypo end of normal, which is how i see it, can i use food choices to bring it back a bit without drugs, and by doing so maybe improve the constipation? thanks Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
