Changing from NDT to Levothyroxine
Hi all, I've been taking NDT (Thyroid-S) now for 3 years and have done pretty well on it. I have followed the guidelines from STTM regarding supplementing my low iron, D3 and B12 in that time, although for around the past 6 months I've cut back a bit on iron and D3 because of the cost. According to

What next
I have received confirmation from the consultant that endoscopy confirms celiac disease and follow up is in a years time. Referred to dietician which has about a 2 month waiting time. However I have cut gluten out for a month now and although gut is calmer I still feel tired and not full of beans.

Newbie - Help with Blood Test Results Please
I’m new to this forum and looking for some help with recent blood tests. I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) in December last year with a TSH of around 20 and positive antibodies. I was put straight onto 100mcg of Levothyroxin and gradually started to feel better. I had so many symptoms
