HC again

[Guest guest]

I seen many people develop sudden allergies to everything, indigestion things,

bowel issues, yes osteo for the bones, liver issues and sudden metal allergies

or issues that weren't there before. My one DR described it to me as the body

not doing the filtering it should be doing. Don't misunderstand, I am taking

Florinef which is a type of steroid so to speak and there are many risks even

with the low dose I am taking, but it was a little hard to continue with a blood

pressure so low that I couldn't function at all. I know the risks. My inability

to take the thyroid meds was the low ferritin and transferrin and low folic

acid. I just posted something on one of the other sites I moderate about celiac.

I tested negative but it is only through a biopsy that some people are dxed, yet

going without any wheat at all and white sugar I notice a huge difference. Also

the massive iron and folic acid made a huge difference. It seems I had been sick

for years but it wasn't till the end I crashed and had no choice but to find out

about Hashi. etc., Everyone has to make their own decisions on their care. I

just have an opinion about people thinking that HC is like a vitamin. It is not.

After losing all vision having a trauma cataract removed then a vitrectomy, I

was on prednisone drops for a year. I know what that small amount does. By the

way one of the questions on a cataract is did you ever take steroids or use

inhalers that have steroids? If so that can cause cataracts. I said I had asthma

as a kid, but not since 10 years old. They said those inhalers caused a life

time full of issues. Anyway, here is the celiac stuff. Let me say again, if

you need the HC or florinef, then you should take it, but they have many long

term risks that you need to weigh. Many of you know that I was unable to

increase my thyroid meds above 37 mg until we treated my underlying issue of

low ferritin. They tested me for celiac, but that came back negative. We did

find that I had low folic acid which is pretty common with thyroid people. My

b-12 was a bit low but not like my folic acid was. Anyway, I cut out all gluten

from any wheat products as well as sugar. I feel much better. I am convinced

that I also had celiac which is hard to dx without a biopsy. Thought I would

post this!!

Re: Cindi's Saliva Test - Help

Hi Jamy,

You said you've seen too many people start having reactions to

metals, foods, liver issues, bone changes, etc. from taking

hydrocortisone. Could you explain what kinds of reactions to metals

and foods? And by bone changes do you mean osteoporosis? I'm only

taking 7.5 mg hc daily because of a sensitive stomach but it seems to

be helping me tolerate Armour. Thanks.

Steriods do a lot to the body and a

I apologize if this has been posted or asked before and I missed it.

How does a person know if they are sensitive/allergic to glutens?

What would the clues be? Also, are glutens to be avoided by the

thyroid patient in the same way that soy and goitrogens are to be

avoided? I rarely eat canned, boxed, fast food, or frozen stuff

anymore and that's hard enough, but I can't imagine avoiding all

grains altogether also!

Thanks.
