Next step regarding underactive thyroid
Hi all, I hope everyone is staying safe. I am looking for some advice regarding next steps with an underactive thyroid (previous post below which I received great feedback on). I have seen no improvement in symptoms since the end of March (last blood results). I have continued on the same dosage of thyroxine

Carbs and inflammation
I had been weirdly regretful that I wasn't suffering from inflammation previously, so I wasn't able to rejoice in it going away with low carb. I have eaten very carby meals on about 4 occasions in the last 18 months, with no apparent side effects. Until last night, when I was sat in front of a plate

Diet - my story so far!
When diagnosed with PMR...within 2 months I was diagnosed prediabetic. I was already overweight from steroids for lung issues a few years ago, and hadn't been able to shift the excess. I went onto the keto diet, while on 15mg steroids. I lost a stone in 7 weeks but as soon as I stopped it it went back

Low carb road in the hole (2)
Just tried subtle badger's idea for toad in the hole as Yorkshire puddings instead. Doubled the quantities and cooked in muffin tins. Made 6 (very) large ones. Surprisingly delicious and felt like a real treat for Sunday dinner. Give them a go!

Gluten-free diet
I’ve been told to try a gluten-free diet but most gluten free foods have rice flour in them which I can’t have either. What should I do?

Insulin and prednisolone problems
How do I manage my blood sugars on Prednisolone at 15 mg per day. I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin injections 4 times a day, plus Metformin 2 gms. My blood sugar levels are astronomical in spite of a low carb diet and exercise. Prior to my PMR diagnosis 7 months ago I was attending my gym 3 times per

Mucus in my stool and bloating
Ok so a bit of background, this was in February 2021 that i had tests done - I have had persistent bloating every time i eat and drink since July 2020 . I ignored it because lots of my friends said it was normal and they had it too. I have gone between being constipated one day and having diarrhoea the

Do any of you have intermittent ataxia episodes that come on only after eating a meal?
I believe I have gluten-sensitivity ataxia, but none of my three doctors (naturopath, general practitioner, kidney specialist) have heard of it, so am continuing a gluten-free diet. I had a test for gluten sensitivity a few years ago, which was negative; my naturopath told me the test showed I didn't

Weird feeling in toes and wobbly walking
This last year of the pandemic I’ve not addressed some things I should have what with the many difficulties. Things have piled up and I’m trying to sort them out one a a time. One thing is this issue with my toes. When I flex them it feels sort of strange, like they are “crunching”. Seems

IBS, headaches and diabetes
Hi I have been suffering with headaches for awhile now and it seems to be linked to whenever I eat sweet foods. I stopped eating sweet foods last week and headaches went away. I wondered if this is a sign of diabetes? I struggle to eat a healthy diet as most healthy foods flare up IBS D. I wanted to

Low carb rebel (inspired by Rosina1871's question of yesterday)
This was originally going to be a response to Rosina1871, but I then decided to make it a separate post as I would like to see other people's comments on my own experience. I too understood that 'a low carb diet is necessary when on steroids to avoid weight gain', so for a time I diligently followed

Naive question
I know that a low carb diet is necessary when on steroids to avoid weight gain, but does the different dosage of steroids influence the amount of carbs you can eat? Ie if you are on 30mg are any carbs more likely to give weight gain than say if you are only on 5mg. Sorry if I haven’t worded that too

Low carb toad-in-the-hole/yorkshire pudding/popovers
The recipe has been going around the internet, it's simple and delicious. 1 egg 60 g/ml of double cream. 8 g/1 tbsp arrowroot flour Mix them together, and use as you would use a flour based batter. In this case, I put the sausages in a 200C oven with ghee (you want hot fat) to until cooked, then pour

Tsh close to zero but t3 and t4 normal on meds?
Hi there, My doctor added t3 about a month ago since my free t3 had been consistently low for over a year. She also lowered my synthroid. I went from about 100mcg synthroid daily to 85 mcg synthroid and 10mcg t3 (split into two doses of 5). Finally have more energy and less shortness of breath when exercising

Lymphodoema in torso
Appear to have lymphodoema in my torso following diep flap & mastectomy surgery three years ago (as well as mildly in my arm). To have it in your torso (above bikini line) seems very unusual, does anyone else have this?

D3 not sure if that is not agreeing with me
As posted , do I recall someone else on here with trouble taking it ? I was taking k2 separately each day . I seemed to experience some nausea and terrible fatigue . This settles if left off , probably need to test again sometime to settle my query . Don’t fancy trying yet though . I’ve had

Brain Fog
Hi I'm new here, though I've posted on the Thyroid Forum before. I'm a 51 year old male. In 2014 I went on a low carb high fat diet and it affected my thyroid function, causing low energy and brain fog. I self-medicated with dessicated thyroid for four or five years without any relief of symptoms - I
