Had an Endoscopy I have a Hiatus Hernia and Erosive Gastritis any advice Please

[Kazbe]

Hi everyone well I had my Endoscopy’s what a horrible experience that was

I’ve been diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia and Erosive Gastritis

I have been taking Lansaprazole 30mg every day which has helped my stomach but not sure about my thyroid I feel under medicated tired gaining weight not sleeping very well at all.

I am taking 75mg Thyroxine and 1 grain NDT (nature throid) my stomach seems worse on the NDT so just for a couple of days whilst at hospital I took 100mg of Levo felt horrible headache just not right

Moving forward I’m wondering if I’m taking these lansaprazole for my stomach is there anything more natural I could take ?

Levo I take mercury pharmacy with seeing if it’s the acaicia powder in it because after I’ve took my Levo early I wake up with a terrible stomach gnawing pains !

I can’t take NDT alone as I need the T4 my body goes down very fast without some Levo.

Any advice would be very much appreciated

Thankyou Kazbe 😀

I can’t take NDT alone as I need the T4

There is T4 in NDT, the ratio of T4 to T3 is 4:1, it's approx. 38mcg T4 and 9mcg T3 per 1 x grain NDT.

Are you taking your Lansaprazole well away from your thyroid meds?

Hi Seaside Susie

Thankyou for replying , yes I took NDT last year alone and I became very poorly there was a lot of controversy at the time that they had changed Nature Throid !

I went back to Levo 75mg alone but I don’t feel well at all

I started adding 1/2 then 1 grain NDT for about 2 months I was feeling a lot better , but when my stomach started getting worse I was too worried to tell hospital I was taking NDT , because I’m self medicating so just upped the Levo to 100mg and left NDT off for a few days and I feel awful .

I take Levo & NDT all together about 7-8 am always leave 4 hours gap then take lansaprazole .

I think il just keep on adding 1/2 grain to my 75 mg Levo until I feel better again .

Do you think this is a good idea and then stop at 2 grains and have a blood test in about 6-8 weeks ?

Kind Regards
