Which brand of levo suits you best? Does anyone have any experience of the German lactose free brands? Thanks for your help

None, the stuff was like poison to me. I switched to ndt in 2012.

Ndt is not an option for me, as I am vegan, so stuck trying to find suitable levo, but thanks Bluedaffodil.

Thank you for checking. I am not having problems, as I am not celiac, but avoid gluten to bring down my antibodies. I am just trying to find out which Levo is safe, as I put so much effort into checking everything I eat I would be upset if my thyroxine contained gluten. Thanks again.

I know, but they can be cross contaminated, for instance maize is often grown near wheat. Also they could be made on the same machines as over the counter medicines (that can contain gluten).
