Just wondering if anyone has had experience of trying low GI diet for hashimotos/hypothyroid. I am gluten free for over. What now and dairy free for 9 months and attribute this to an improvement in my bloods and symptoms- antibodies reduced sufficiently from 800 to 100.
However I am still symptomatic at evening/night and early morning. I am starting to think blood sugars may come into it and Hv been reading up on Dr Isabella Wentz.
My current symptoms are nerve tingling, some palpitations (Altho Hv improved somewhat, ) cold intolerance. I know these also are hypo symptoms but I think there may be some cross over.
I have had cortisol testing and I am pretty much in range.. was given some glandulars to see if any improvement cld be made and I felt awful on them- I’m very sensitive to any drugs/supplements!
Wld love to hear if anyone has had any success rebalancing blood sugars. Every nutritionist/functional practitioner I have seen in the past year mentioned that playing rnd with blood sugars may be helpful, I just had enough on my plate with changing to GF and DF and trying medications that ultimately made me feel
Worse! I feel things now a little clearer that the fact I feel these so strongly at night and morning maybe an indicator of blood sugar.
My most recent bloods are very basic from go TSH 1.73
FT4 13 (12-22)
TPO 118

supplementing a good quality daily vitamin B complex, one with folate in (not folic acid) may be beneficial. This can help keep all B vitamins in balance
Thorne Basic B or Jarrow B Right are recommended options that contains folate, but both are large capsules. (You can tip powder out if can’t swallow capsule)
IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
No. It contains Vit C which will affect the absorption of the B12. It contains 25mg B6 and the recommended amount for regular use is 10mg daily. It contains magnesium (why, it's a B Complex?) in two forms, one of which is oxide which is used to treat constipation. It's also very expensive.
Take a look at Thorne Basic B which is currently at an excellent price on Amazon:
What are your iron/ferritin levels now? Looking at previous posts, I can’t help but wonder if poor iron status is the reason you’re struggling to tolerate thyroid hormone replacement medications.
Hi I maintain a low sugar diet. Sort of keto but not that strict. I find it helps balance my energy levels so no ups and downs. I’m gluten free - have been for years. Have a very healthy appetite and don’t feel deprived or limit my food intake particularly 😊
