Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi Adam, The food thing is really difficult. Did you ever try another allergist who actually performed diagnostic tests? I think, at this point, you need to stick to a very simple, bland diet chicken, low fat cuts of meat, turkey, maybe fish and low carb veggies. I know it's not appetizing, but try it and see. Sorry I can't be more help. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I have a friend who several years ago did 2 weeks of nothing but chicken and rice he got really bored with it but felt better (he did it for his hay fever). Then he added one food a week and discovered his allergies. I think he added low carb veggies first and then went to fruits. He's a doctor (surygan) and self diagnosed - that tells me something!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi Kim. I went vegan and feel ALOT better. I just started to cut out the red meats, and kept going from there. I had such good results that I don't miss it at all! Also, a biggie for me is milk. Now all of my friends and family feel terrible going for ice cream because NO ONE loved Strawberry waffle sundaes more that I! But, after I eat it, I feel horrible, so I don't miss it!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi all, I've taken the conservative approach on food (tried to, anyway) as I'm very eager to get to remission rather than be pressured into losing my thyroid. I've especially used the listing of iodine in foods that's posted in the Graves' files. I also had bad luck ignoring iodine content early in my treatment when I ate a lot of turkey (at Thanksgiving, no less) and had a worsening of my hyper symptoms. And I know asparagus is going to be hard to pass up, too. And then, in addition, there are the things that may worsen autoimmune problems or eye inflammation, like sugar, saturated fats, wheat for those who are gluten sensitive. I do admire people who've restructured their eating habits altogether, it's hard to do. Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 > Thanks. I have been trying really hard to watch what I eat. Lucky I was never one for coffee, soda or added salt. Chocolate and seafood (being a veggie) is very disappointing. If anyone knows of any lists out there that would be great. I really aapreciate everyones help. Talk soon!! > Hi all, > > I've taken the conservative approach on food (tried to, anyway) as I'm very eager to get to remission rather than be pressured into losing my thyroid.
