Hi I have just started Nature Throid 1 grain a day. I am having a bad stomach upset from it and have butterflies. Is this normal? I am on day 3 today. Do I need to ride it out?

I have a very sensitive stomach as it is. Not surr what to do

Were you on levo before the NDT? How much? Couldn't be you're taking too much.

OK, so 1 grain was too much to start on. Half a grain would have been better. Or even a quarter.

Should I just start taking half from today?
