Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've always thought that hypothyroidism was a big part of my problem. I got a book by Datis Kharrazian called " Why do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When my Lab Tests are Normal? " . He claims that most cases of hypo are actually autoimmune (Hashimoto's). I have followed some of his advice and, although I haven't seen him or any of his students to get the testing and council, I have had some improvements from some of the dietary advice in his book. The biggest was when I upped my vitamin D intake to 6000 iu. He recommends 5-20,000 iu in emulsified form. I only have caps until the product that I ordered arrives. The first step towards recovery is blood sugar modulation. Because of that I have cut out carbs (all grains-at the moment) and all types of sugar. Another big thing is restoration of gut flora which I have been working towards for some time. He also said that gluten is a trigger and that replacement hormones only work for one kind of hypo which is not the type that I likely have. For the past few nights I have been able to turn over on my side, something I haven't been able to do in years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
