Just today received my recent blood reports.

In last report my TSH got elevated... almost suggesting hypothyroid...which I thought was due to Fenugreek seeds..So stopped same...

And now you can see the TSH and all other markers are well within the limit.

Eating at least one coconut daily...and 70/80 Gms of home made butter.

3 rotis per day of 'Khapali wheat'

Regular consumption of red meat (grass fed goat),prawns,fish...

metformin 500 X 2

Was taking Patanjalee Liv- D and Trikuti churna as supplement..which I stopped since last one month.

Now just Patanjalee-Chandraprabha vati with amala powder in warm water morning and evening.

and what do u think about this suramo Hidden @anup Hidden

Any standard blood test will have BUN or urea numbers. Conventional doctors will look at high or low BUN numbers and not mention anything, but these can indicate that certain processes in the body aren’t optimal.

hmmm may be around 110 Gms...but honestly..I had more cheat days during last 3 months...

plus consumed few mango.

I was also very much concerned about my Thyroid...as u see in my reports ..since I started controlling carbs TSH were steadily increasing.. as per the last reports TSH level were almost pointing to Hypothyroid.. so was scared to reduce carbs further (A lame excuse??)

But I figured out the problem...it was not carbs but Fenugreek seeds..I stopped them altogether..

Plus due to certain domestic duties (again lame excuse) no morning walks..

Generally my fasting remains around 90 every day.. but the day I consume mango next day i land up fasting above 100.

On the day of blood test.... on waking up FBS was 92 by my home meter...when they took blood it was showing 107 by my meter..

So I can say meter is working fine.

Any comments on BUN Hidden ??

Any reference that fenugreek seeds and lowering of carbs adversely affected your thyroid function ? May be erraneous tsh report previously. How did you find out about carb - fenugreek seeds and thyroid relationship ? Was it by your instinct or somewhere you got the reference ?

What To Remember Most About This Article:

Sometimes, after initially losing weight and correcting hormonal imbalances on a low carbohydrate diet, you may experience weight gain, fatigue, or even hair thinning a few months later. These symptoms could be signs of hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid.

Eating too many carbohydrates and grain-based foods can cause serious health issues, feeding disease-causing microorganisms in the digestive tract and even triggering inflammation. But cutting carbohydrates out of the diet completely can affect thyroid hormones and cause hibernation syndrome — resulting in weight gain, drowsiness, and cold extremities.

To reduce carbohydrates effectively, it is important to cut them out of the diet slowly by following the Body Ecology Principles. One of the easiest ways to do this is by paying attention to food ratios and including more BE-friendly starchy vegetables and grain-like seeds in your diet, based on the Body Ecology Principle of 80/20. You can also nourish your thyroid with fermented foods, probiotic beverages, and daily mineral support.

But forget this suramo I am not and was never on very low carb diet...I am always on moderately low carb diet...

But I was scared...

Further fenugreek seeds acts on all glands..that is for sure... and after stopping them got good results... :)

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test

Results of the BUN test are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Normal BUN values tend to vary depending on gender and age. It’s also important to note that each laboratory has different ranges for what’s normal.

In general, normal BUN levels fall in the following ranges:

•adult men: 8 to 20 mg/dL

•adult women: 6 to 20 mg/dL

•children: 5 to 18 mg/dL

Higher BUN levels can indicate:

•congestive heart failure or recent heart attack

•gastrointestinal bleeding

•high protein levels

•kidney disease

•kidney failure

•dehydration

•obstruction in the urinary tract

•shock

Lower BUN levels can indicate:

•liver failure

•malnutrition

•severe lack of protein in the diet

you may evaluate where you stand

Factors that Decrease BUN :

- Low-protein diet, malnutrition or starvation (R).

Ruled out

- Impaired liver activity due to liver disease (R).

Possibility

- Genetic deficiency of urea cycle enzymes (R).

Don't know

- Higher IGF-1 and growth hormone. These inhibit urea synthesis (R). Growth hormone-deficient children given human growth hormone have lower urea nitrogen and this is due to decreased urea synthesis (R).

May be due to butter and milk

- Anabolic steroids, which decreases protein breakdown.

Ruled out

-Overhydration, or drinking a lot of water.

what was the TSH level earlier???

Do u have any records???

I lost my half thyroid to surgery some 17 yrs ago( one wing of butterfly)... but after that everything was normal... even now it is normal.. (so even my half thyroid is working fine-Butter fly can fly with one wing :) ).

But be sure.. fenugreek works on all glands.. Thyroid is also gland..

is taking methi seeds for type 2 diabetes not good?

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply tosoni1

response of each individual is diffrent...

as per Ayurveda it depends on 'Prakruti' of the individual which depends on the balances of 'Dosha' like kapha,vata,and pitta.

And therefore it is suggested that you must experiment urself and decide.

Fanugreek seeds are helpful for many diabetics..

But one must experiment and decide...
