yea...i actually am thinking malabsorption from crohn's disease or celiac

disease (often related to hypo) in my case. I think I'll see a gasterontologist

about it after christmas. but it is frustrating. i don't see how I can

absorb any nutrients from food because it races right through me. Constipation

sounds nice sometimes.

Thanks, Sandy, I'm reading the website now. My pulse, even as of a few

years ago (don't remember before that always runs high. The nurse had

a name for it, which I forgot. So, I can't really use that as a criterion.

I checked with two pharmacists, who never heard of Armour, so they were

no help. This endo doesn't believe low body temp is necessarily hypo,

so can't use that one. Can you give me one or two examples of how you

felt differently being hypo or hyper?

can share that info with you, if they will.. I've been hyperT. I

know how it felt, and I know for a fact that most people who end up

hyperT, are treated and made to live hypoT. Dr's are ignorant in

both. I'm living proof of that.

Thanks, Cindi, because I was wondering about that. I have the opposite

of a constipation problem, that is for certain!

low body temperature can also be anemic or low ferritin

i have no idea where i have seen this since i have read so much. but

basically...hypo folks can have all sorts of digestive ailments....that's what

you

usually see listed as the symptom...but then i have read more about how hypo can

lead to malaborption and leaky gut syndrome. i don't know if that's related

to the fact hypos don't have good digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid or

not. I just know that when I read about leaky gut and malaborption with hypo -

i looked those terms up - and though - uh oh. I also did an uh - oh when I

read hashi's folks were more at risk for Crohn's disease.

My hypo and Hashi's started causing digestive ailments LONG time ago...and I

had a diagnosis of IBS because a colonscopy didn't show anything.
