This is really interesting Shaws. I've been arguing this one for the last 2 years.

I take cimetidine to lower acidity, i don't have a choice. I have reduced my dose by a third. It's not just low stomach acid problems, it's also the effect on liver enzymes. Because of this my local pharmacist said i'll never do well on thyroid meds.

Not what you're looking for?
