Sharcott,

Try an elimination diet to see what is causing the bloating. Gluten commonly causes bloating so try 2-3 weeks 100% gluten-free and see whether that makes a difference. Then resume eating gluten. If bloating resumes you'll know it's intolerance to gluten. Ditto dairy if gluten isn't the problem.

thank you, I am doing both but they have crept back in so need to be really good and stick to it, I need to check whats in the Lio as well

Sharcott,

If you eliminate gluten and dairy at the same time how will you know which, if either, is causing problems?

Which Liothyronine are you taking?
