RE: Re: thyroid/Shirley, Trisha

[Guest guest]

Anita,

Thanks for sharing, it really helps to know others can relate. This would

explain my absent periods too huh? I actually don't miss them at all but I

am sure to be caught off guard eventually. Then I will know for sure my

hormones are starting to balance out though.

I have eliminated all cruciferous veggies and am feeling MUCH better so I

don't really want to treat this with meds if I don't have to. I spent the

first 40 years of my life popping pills, the next 40 are going to be lived

organically. Are there specific foods you need to avoid other than the

brassicas? Or do the meds allow you to eat those types of foods? I was just

reading in my Health Psychology book about the ill effects of too much

lactic acid, which you get from fermented cabbage, causes muscle

fatigue/weakness and also anxiety. This explains so much!!! You REALLY ARE

what you eat. I will never look at food the same way after experiencing this

particular panic attack.

Thanks again for responding, it helped alot.

Shirley -

I don't really eat any cruciferous vegetables raw EXCEPT the cabbage in

sauerkraut and it doesn't seem to affect me either way. When I was first sick

though and had horrible panic attacks, I definitely wasn't consuming raw

cruciferous vegetables or kraut at all but an awful lot of soy.

If that helps you to eliminate them, nothing wrong with that.

Glad to be of any help - you all help me a lot too. Before I was just a

miserable weirdo who didn't know what was wrong with her and didn't think anyone

in the world could comprehend!

Anita, doesn't it help to have an explanation for all the moodiness and

symptoms? I find comfort in that and the fact that I can relate to everyone

who chimes in to this group, we are all in this together. I feel bad for the

people who don't know what they are suffering from. I have read reports that

indicate close to 30 million people *could* have candida! That # is

staggering!

Shirley - you know this doesn't surprise me. I feel like most members in my

family and most of my friends have candida overgrowth from descriptions of the

big problems or little nagging issues most seem to have.

I think a huge number have it too, but there's a lot of people that

you can't convince. Nothing I can say will make them cut down on

high carbs or even junk for that matter.
