NDT and Iron/Zinc dosing puzzle

[Guest guest]

I posted this yesterday but it seems to have got lost in the

ether?...........hope it doesn't get posted twice....sorry if it does....

Hi

Could anyone help me with a puzzle, please?

I am desperately trying to increase my iron levels so that I can change from

Westhroid to T3 only as I have an rT3 ratio of 11. When I tried to change

before, I got anxiety on the 2nd day so went back to NDT.

The problem I have is keeping the iron away from my NDT (is 4 hours correct?)

and also taking zinc which I am low in.

For info, I take 1 x zinc tablet a day which must be taken with food, so at the

moment I take it after my lunch. I take my NDT at 7am on waking and then at 2pm.

At the moment I take 4 x 27mg tablets of Bluebonnet Iron with my evening meal

but am thinking that if I spread it out a bit it might help the absorption? I

take it with 500mg Vit C as this is the max I can do at the moment.

I know that the iron needs to be kept away from the NDT and that zinc needs to

be kept away from the iron but it feels like such a juggle if I want to split my

iron dosing !!

I hope this makes sense, I'm a bit foggy this morning?! I'd really appreciate

any help or advice

Thanks
