Does timing really matter for armour?

[Guest guest]

For years I was taking my armour minutes before I ate my breakfast. Now

I am taking it an hour before I eat. I have also increase from 120 to

135. I feel horrible now until after lunch. I have spells of

breathlessness, hearburn, and just plain yucky.

I read in Shomans book that for each person is different and that

with some it is better to take the pill right before you eat.

Question for group, Does anyone take swallowing the armour and eat right

afterwards? I know some put it under the mouth and let it dissolve, but

I am not meaning that way.

Blessings,

I have an hearburn problems for over 20 years and usually have them under

control. I just watch what I eat and when I eat and that takes care of

it.

The yucky feeling is more of a depressed feeling. This has been going on

for 3 days now, but in the afternoon I feel fine. I increased my dosage

last Tuesday.

I wake up fine and like I said it goes away around lunch time. It doesn't

matter if I eat or not since I do have a snack around 10 am.

I have always swallowing my armour just before eating. I started the

hour thing last Tuesday.

Hi Fionna. There are several ways to answer this. But first a

question--can you be more specific as what you are feeling? When

you say yucky, is it the breathlessness and heartburn only, or is

there more? Do you have any family history of heart issues or

heartburn?

Also, do you wake up feeling horrible? Or when does it start? And it

lasts until you eat again, or just until lunch " time " ?

Second, if you have to swallow your Armour, you are actually doing

it better now than before. You are taking it one hour before eating,

which means it is not in contact with things that bind some of the

hormones---i.e. calcium and iron. Plus, you are not exposing your

Armour to stomach acid, which we have heard will destroy some of the

calicitonin in the Armour.

Also, it's not uncommon to have to raise Armour anyway as we age.

The thyroid can get worse, thus the need for more Armour increases.

Let us know the above.
