Diet Advice When On Carbimazole

[elvina]

Since being diagnosed with Grave Disease in June pretty much all the weight that I had carefully lost on the fast diet was come back on and I believe that this may be down to the carbimazole. I am now down from 15mg a day to 10mg.

The weight gain is making me feel even more down than I am already and all the other issues such as aching joints etc dont help. I want to try to get the weight back off and have been back on the fast diet for 2 weeks and dont appear to have lost an ounce.

Please can somedody help? Can anyone suggest any way/diet that can help me loose some weight? Is there another diet which is better? As I am a 52 year old female hormones arent helping either.

Many thanks

It may be that your dose of Carbimazole is too high. How many blood tests have you had since you started?

If you can get your results (with ranges) and start a new thread, someone with more knowledge can tell you if your levels are optimal or if you have tipped over into hypo.
