looking for lactose and gluten free t4 and t3 … Thankyou

[Delilahmy]

I’m currently trialling gluten free diet (as recommended by my endo) I have done this since November last year. I am just about to do repeat bloods prior to an appointment with him in September.

I would like to ask for recommendations for gluten free and lactose free brands for t4 and t3 before my appointment as I would like to trial this too…

I would just like the conversation when I go … so trying to be ready with brand suggestions

I’m currently on Mercury t4 100 daily and t3 Roma 25 (three doses a day split into 10morning 5 lunch and 10 bedtime )

Thankyou for reading

Pretty much all UK medicine is gluten-free:

helvella - Gluten in UK Medicines

A short discussion about how to identify the few UK medicines which might contain gluten or wheat. Also some information about USA and EU.

And my UK medicines document lists all ingredients of all licensed UK thyroid hormone medicines.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. There is now a specific world desiccated thyroid document.

I highly recommend viewing on a computer screen, or a decent sized tablet, rather than a phone. Even I find it less than satisfactory trying to view them on my phone.

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines - UK

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrixes for levothyroxine tablets, oral solutions and also liothyronine available in the UK. Includes injectables and descriptions of tablet markings which allow identification. Latest updates include all declared ingredients for all UK products and links to Patient Information Leaflets, etc. PLUS how to write prescriptions in Appendix F.

helvella - World Desiccated Thyroid

Contains details of all known desiccated thyroid products including information about several products not considered to be Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT/Desiccated Thyroid Extract/DTE).
