Adrenal Stress Test results

[Peanut31]

As many of you have seen from my previous posts I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos, no medication has been given to me by my Private Endocrinologist or when I went to my GP.

From advice on here, I am gluten free, and cut out out my fizzy altogether, I eat a healthy diet, and my vitamins levels are now correct.

However, there is only so much I can do and due to this I have now decided to self medicate, on NDT, Thyroid S.

However, I thought before I start this, perhaps better do a stress test as I understand if this is not correct then the Thyroid medication will not help.

Here are my results:

Sample 1 7.97 (2.68-9.30)

Sample 2 4.47 (0.75-2.93)

sample 3 2.48 (0.36-1.88)

sample 4 0.77 (<=0.94)

sum of cortisol 15.690

DHEA Level 0.17 (0.05-0.32

Secretory IgA results 835 (56-212)

Notes:

Sample 1: within range

sample 2: cortisol level is above the reference range. Mid-day cortisol levels may be a good indication of adaptive adrenal gland function since they represent the adrenals' response to the demands of the first few hours of the day

sample 3: cortisol level is above the reference range. Afternoon cortisol levels may be a good indication of glycaemic control exerted by the adrenal gland since they represent a postprandial sample. High afternoon levels suggest a degree of adrenal hyperfunction with increased adrenal assistance in glycaemic control.

sample 4: within range.

High levels of Secretory IgA

Elevated levels in saliva are associated with an immune response to stimulation by infections and inflammatory reactions. High levels of SlgA production may indicate an infection of the digestive system. In which case a comprehensive stool analysis would be recommended.

I have already had an in dept stool sample and it showed several bacteria infections. I am working with a nutritionist, and she sent a letter to my GP requesting antibiotics, she reluctantly gave me the antibiotics (questioning the results) and I took them over xmas.

My question is what do I take for adrenal support.

As always any advice greatly appreciated.
