Do you take any supplements at the moment?
If you take a Biotin supplement or B complex did you leave it off for 7 days before the test?
When did you take your last dose of T3 before the test?
Hi, I've just sent off a vitamin test. I take vit D C and B daily also selenium and omega. ( I never taught to stop them before being tested! I took my last dose of t3 roughly 14 before bloods were done.
OK so last dose of T3 should be 8-12 hours before blood draw.
Because you continued with B Complex this gives false results so it's difficult to interpret your results with any accuracy. The Biotin in B Complex will give false results when Biotin is used in the testing procedure, which most labs do use.
If you take Vit D you should also take magnesium and Vit K2-mk7. Magnesium helps the body convert D3 into it's usable form. Taking D3 aids absorption of calcium from food and Vit K2-mk7 directs calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissue where it can be deposited and cause problems like calcification of arteries and kidney stones, etc.
Hi slowdragon, I was on a strick AIP diet but I have been reintroducing foods over the past 2 weeks. I feel so weak and unwell since yesterday and I did have some gluten a few days ago.
I had been on aip for approximately 7 months and I've been slowly reintroducing other foods. Some days I cant have small pieces of gluten with no problem and other times I get a Hashimotos flare that lands me on the sofa for a few days feeling dreadful.
My next appointment with my doc is July so I will be strongly suggesting that I be given T4 alongside my T3 meds as s trail! Thanks again to you all for your invaluable experience.
