How can I gain weight on Kidney friendly diet?
I have CKD Stage 3b and am working with a nutritionist and adhering to a kidney friendly diet, but keep losing weight. I have a high metabolism and have always had a problem keeping weight on, but this diet is not providing me with enough high calorie options. My nutritionist advised me to eat more nuts

Advice please
Tried taking
Imodium
seems to work for 4 hours then I am back to square one. ðŸ˜needless to say all my muscles in that region are very tender so even walking feels as bad as when I had my C-section 14years ago. We go home Saturday should I just ride it out until I see my GP or not?

Bloods results help please
I went to see my private endo 3 weeks ago and he asked for loads of bloods. I'll post them below but I'm confused as my previous tests on 07/10 showed TSH 2.89 (range 0.35-5.5 um/L) and free T4 14.3 pmol/L (range 10.5-21) - those were done by GPThe last bloods were done on 9/11 at di only a month later

Antidepressants and other meds
Hi all, especially Sue who I'm hoping can help. I have at last had blood tests which showed my levels were around 50, which she said wasn't that low, but I'm now on Iron 200mg a day, havibg another blood test in January. Also my sodium levels were little low so was told to use more salt on my food.

Ray Peat & Thyroid Wisdom
Hi all :) I've mentioned a few times on this forum that the Keto/carnivore diet is the reason for my devastating decline into overt hypothyroidism where I became unresponsive to synthetics. Since that time, I've used this forum as well as the teachings of American physiologist Ray Peat to educate myself

Healthy normal colon at last - update on my story
Following my post nearly a year ago about the success I was having taking Sodium Butyrate I wanted to let you know that it worked! I had my colonoscopy yesterday and the whole colon is healthy with no inflammation or polyps. Seeing as I was ill for 25 yrs and was facing the prospect of having to start

blood tests and DXA scan
Following blood tests and a DXA scan I finally have results from the Endo. Re scan it states: T-scores have been reported as -1.3 at the left neck of fear and -1.9 at the lumbar spine. The calculated 10 years probability of a major osteoporotic fracture and that of a hip fracture is below intervention

blood test results
hi everyone I’m just going through my last lot of blood results.. ESR 1mm/hr Neutrophils 8.10 (2.1 - 7.4) Lymphocyte count 0.98 (1 - 3.6) Sodium 128 (should be 135+). Are these anything to be concerned about? My GP wasn’t worried - but just said he’ll recheck the sodium in December 🤔 (Apparently

Low Sodium
Yesterday I had my usual blood test as I’m on methotrexate, today I had a phone call from the Doctors Surgery to say they have made me a Doctors Appointment for tomorrow as they needed to see me urgently as apparently it showed I have low sodium levels which was fine on my last blood test in September

Blood Test Results, Help please... Second Cortisol test still showing as borderline Cushing's .
Apologies, I posted earlier, to the wrong forum... I'm just not with it. Sorry 😞 It's been a long, long time since I posted.Much as happened; too much. After years of asking about a Cortisol test and being constantly denied by the male GPs who said it was only the remit of a consultant to authorise

IBS or .......
It's taken over my life a bit as I cannot go anyway on the spur, as I need to dose up on
Imodium
and make sure there are toilets just in case. Tempted to try Amitriptyline, not been offered it. Recently it has become more painful and I feel wiped out and sickly all the time.

Diarrhea while weaning pred and on actemra
I take
imodium
with the diarrhea and it helps somewhat. I might have a solid stool for one day and then diarrhea for several. Has anyone else had this experience while tapering or while on Actemra?

IBS-D tip
I’m ‘controlling’ currently with Amitriptyline and
imodium
. Some days good some days bad. My biggest fear has been car journeys, resulting in me being a little housebound for a few months until recently. I purchased a portable car toilet online and I have to say it’s been a life saver.

Gaviscon dilemma
Earlier this week I had a call from the pharmacist at my GP practice. He was calling to review my meds which seems to be the latest practise at my docs. I told him I had stopped Omeprazole and was just using Gaviscon at night to control acid reflux as it wasn't too bad at the moment and that I thought

Trying to understand appetite / cravings
I have an advanced background in human nutrition but am totally new to thyroid issues and am trying to understand something. I've noticed since I've been treated (T4 and T3 split tid) that at times I am hungrier than usual. I understand the increased metabolism from thyroid correction, but is there anything

Coolness in feet, legs and one side of neck - Could it be nerve healing?
Hi and thanks for reading my post! I'm approaching 1 year of B12 injections and in the last week or two I've been having some occasional coolness in my feet, and sometimes in my lower legs up to my knee. The coolness in my feet sometimes starts as an almost burning pain in my right outer toes. It
