Hello. I've just been put on the FODMAP diet by my GP and peppermint oil tablets because I'm suffering really badly with IBS to the point it's making me depressed. I've only been on the diet a few days and finding it really hard, not because I don't have the willpower. I really do. But because I can't

Sea kelp and levothyroxine
I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether it would be worthwhile taking sea kelp supplements as well as my thyroxine (150mg). I don't feel like the thyroxine is fully managing my symptoms, but my doctor won't increase the thyroxine as my bloods are within range, and I'm just wanting to see if there

Essential oils
I read recently that a few drops of BASIL ASSENTIAL OIL massaged into skin over the adrenals helps aid adrenals, likewise a few drops of FRANKINSENSE ESSTIAL OIL applied to thyroid area aids thyroid function. Anyone tried this? don't think it could cause any harm and these two oils smell gorgeous.

super dry & chapped lips
I'm just experiencing a super dry and chapped lips. Can't even smile or laugh, it hurts! Is it because of the MTX? I started taking it last month (15mg/weekly) for almost 2 months now. I've been on the gluten, grain, sugar, dairy free diet since last week. I take more veggies, fruits, fish, chicken,

Does anyone else take fish oils?
I always used to take Cod Liver Oil to help with arthritis, but stopped it when I was put on the Verapamil/Digoxin/Warfarin medication, tho' I can't remember whether that was because it was contra-indicated, or because I wanted to cut down on all the pills, I also take Celebrex and Ranitidine. I was

Worried about too much Vitamin E in 2 week wait
Hi everyone, I am currently 6dp3dt and half way into my 2 week wait. For years I have taken Pregnancare Conception Vitamins and Vitabiotics Omega 3 tablets as there is nothing on it that says that its Cod Liver Oil but rather a high quality Omega 3 Fish Oil. So I always thought it's perfectly safe to

For what it's worth...
This isn't going to cure anything, but may help along the way: Since re-commencing Boots' highest dosage Omega 3 Fish Oil 1300mgs, my heart has been calmer with reduced symptoms. I always seem to do well on it in the past, but broke off to try krill and CQ10, which I can't afford to keep up.
