A Win and A Question
First, thanks to all here for sharing your vast knowledge and all the deep resources about everything thyroid. I had a follow-up with my doctor yesterday and he did increase my dosage of levothyroxine to 100 mcg (I had been on 50 mcg). Thanks to suggestions here, I had what I needed to present my case

Cholesterol problems - high protein, good fat diet recommendations
Hi there, long-term lurker here. I am based in Switzerland although British by birth. I've recently been following a high protein diet plan which recommends lots of cheeses (hard and soft) and dairy products. The breakfasts consist of various combinations of high fat yoghurts, magerquark, Philadelphia

It's all good now!
Pmr hit just about three years ago. I am now reporting one month at zero pred, down from thirty originally. Fingers crossed that that is the end of it. If not then pred is my friend. If I had the opportunity to live my life over and not get Pmr I don't think I would take it. It has taught me a lot of

Low Carb Diet makes a difference?
Does a low carb diet really help? After 5 years of PMR, down to 8 mg daily pred and overweight, I'm ready to try cutting carbs. What has been anybody's diet experience with meat, beans and green veggies with no potatoes, rice, pasta or sweets?

metastasized to brain
I just don’t have the heart to retype/edit an update. Please forgive my “family version” dialogue: After a painfully long and concerning wait dealing with insurance issues, Jeff finally received his cancer fighting drug, Zytiga. He started taking the Zytiga/Prednisone combo Friday, August 6th. The effects

Appointment
Had my appointment today, fibroscan shows 6.5 kpa and fatty liver but nothing serious which is a relief ! The consultant is arranging an MRI to check bile ducts gallbladder etc due to my symptoms, said if that’s clear then he will arrange a HIDA scan. Also took 11 vials of blood today . Feel like crap

Keto / Low Carb and Cognitive Functioning
I was reading a story about a woman who improved her memory by following a low carb diet. The research on this subject seems mixed. When I eat very low carb (as opposed to moderately low carb) I swear I have easier access to my subconscious. I also have a lot more memories from many many years ago pop

Post Rifaxamine
Hi to all, I have just finished a course of Rifaxamine for SIBO, (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) have read that they knock out all bacteria both good and bad! What should I be doing now to encourage the good back and discourage the bad bacteria….. I have a very limited low carb low fodmap diet

LC Cooking and baking
The last few weeks I have been venturing into the world of keto baking, inspired by several other HU users. This is my successful courgette bread. I made some very nice sandwiches with it last weekend. It has 1g carb per slice and it was a very simple recipe. Next to it is my unsuccessful "cloud" bread

Update to my 10.1 elf
From previous post where dr wouldn't do scan as elf was under 10.5, which nice guidelines do state, but my concern was my drs think anything upto 10.5 is completely normal range with no other references, I did book a private ultrasound last week which showed nothing at all with my liver not even any
