Started on Nature-throid, quit Armour Thyroid

Hello all,

just to let you know that I just switched to Nature-throid because of mainly the price. And I feel good. 3rd day. 1/2 a grain. Wonderful!

I run almost everyday, trying to train for a race at 55 yrs old.

ps I self-medicate, and get my prescription from a secret source :) an angel!

Amazing. Good to hear your running. Obviously you have an angel by your side please send to me πŸ˜‡. I'm not getting no relief in symptoms and the 1 stone weight gain won't budge. X. On T3.

Reikimaster are you gluten free? I lost over a stone in 3 weeks when I cut that and dairy out.

β€’ in reply toKatepots

Not gluten or dairy free. But I'm vegetarian. I follow slimming world too which isn't working. it's so frustrating 😢xx

I'm veggie, aside from NDT.

I find high fat, low carb has always seemed best for me.

I try to only eat sourdough bread, & in small quantities, but need to give that up!

Hi I did try the High fat diet unfortunately made me very ill. I couldn't get on with it. I think if the T3 was working well I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Nuts?

My GP suggested paleo, which would be hard as a veggie. I have felt better for cutting out processed things, including a lot of vegan foods I'd been eating.

Hope you find something that works!

I lost weight when I went back to eating dairy. I now have lots of lovely organic kefir! I'd no idea of the perils of soya milk!

β€’ in reply toBadHare

Soya and Thyroid a big no no. X

I had at least half a litre a day, plus tofu. I got bigger & more sluggish on 1,000 calories a day. :(

Be careful with your exercise etc as 1/2 gr is around 50mcg of levothyroxine. Exercising if not on an optimum reduces our T3 and it is T3 which is the active hormone needed in all our T3 receptor cells. I wish you success on your new NDT.

No worries haha I've been running and racing most my adult life, I'm pretty optimized, actually I was on 1 grain a few years ago for some years, now to 1/2.

Hi, I'm currently self medicating using thyroI'd 's from Thailand but would like to try Nature thyroid as thyroid 's has lots of fillers.

Could you possibly share your angel please?

I tried it and it sent me a bit mental was better in ThyroidS and went back to it fast! I think it is NPWestthroid that has fewer fillers not naturethroid

Here's a list of what's in them i meant westhroid not acella

stopthethyroidmadness.com/a...

β€’ in reply toshazbaz111

I agree with you...the list of fillers and binders in Thyroid-S is incredibly long...I like Thyroid-S, and think it works well, but the long-term effects of all those fillers worry me a bit...I'm especially unhappy about the aluminium and don't see the need for that.

Is Naturethroid still hypoallergenic? STTM seems to think Naturethroid was reformulated much like Armour a few years back and has not worked the same since...glad to hear someone is doing so well on it, though, that just proves we are all different:-)

I'm guessing your in the States?? If not where do you get it from as can't source in UK.

Yes, I did need prescription. I wasn't diagnosed for 4 years until I diagnosed myself, went to doc, asked to be prescribed Armour, then he retired got other docs that never wanted to give me what I needed, so I started to self medicate after reading about hypothiroidism, until Armour got out of hand and asked my secret source to prescribe Nature-throid. To find this person it took me to go thru hell.

I like nature-Throid, & WP even better.

Not sure about angels, but the US seems amenable to exporting NDT. ;) Pity the cost has been Trumped up so much!

Good luck with your training!
