Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 My gp told me that the suggested time between eating or drinking anything after taking thyroid hormone is two hours. I just try to stay away from calcium for an hour. I'm with you - I like cereal for breakfast. -Anne > > I put my pill between the cheek and gum as soon as I get up.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I leave mine until it is disolved completely. Depending on how dry my mouth is - this morning it took about half an hour for two 1/2 grain pills. I usually put them in when my hubby's alarm goes off. Then they're disolved by the time I have to get up. I do swallow some of what is disolved - Cris Re: Re: About drinking milk after Armour!! I don't get it either. If you do Armour sublingually, how long do you leave it there to get absorbed into the bloodstream? Caroline Pollak wrote:I don't get this Armour digestion thing. I mean if one takes it sublingually, it doesn't go through any digestive process. It just absorbs into the blood stream. So what's the problem then? Do the calcium agents get into the bloodstream & duke it out/clobber the piggy hormones or what? ----- Original Message ----- From: Betty Flager Betty Flager wrote:> Thanks!! Since you have been waiting an hour before you eat your cereal with milk has it made any difference on how your symptoms are or bloodtests results? I have heard to wait 4 hours, or 8 hours.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Okay thanks Cris, that is what I do. I put it between the cheek and gum and leave it there for about 1/2 hour.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Do you wait about an hour to eat after you swallow your Armour? I guess I'm doing a little survey. Heee!!!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I try to wait - even though I take mine sublingually. Only time I don't wait, is if I have to leave the house early - I have to eat in the morning or I feel lousy. Cris Re: Re: About drinking milk after Armour!!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I've been waiting l/2 hours between taking morning pain pill & Armour sublingually. Then another l/2 to an hour hour before eating. Same thing in the afternoon after my nap. ----- Original Message ----- Do you wait about an hour to eat after you swallow your Armour?
