underactive thyroid and change of diet
Posted , 6 users are following.
I've had an underactive thyroid for some 10 years. My Levothyroxine requirements has been up and down for the last year. After reading some comments here I am experimenting with taking the Levothyroxine last thing at night. However, I've been reading about the Gluten intolerance is very common with thyroid issues and was interested to hear other members cocmments on this and especially experiences with dietary changes.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

My doctor gives me Thiamine and Vitamin B Complex Strong and they help. I feel more relaxed with them and 5-HTP definitely helps because it helps to promote Serotonin in the brain, which helps to reglate all of the hormones. Gives the thyroid, hyppothalams etc a helping hand.

I take various vitamins including magnesium/calcium and do see a Hoilistic Healer who helps me with diet and supplement advice. I thought about trying 5HTP but unsure when to take it, when do you take yours?

I use Solgar supplements because I used to buy cheaper brands to save money but they don't save money because I was chucking it down the drain!

I've never taken Levothyroxine; my doc gives me Thyroxine but I hardly ever take it. 5-HTP works better for me.

I've only done the tablets at night routine for 3 nights and I feel so much better during the day already, its like a miracle. I have read recently that the 5:2 diet helps which is Intermitten fasting and intend to try it soon. I think gluten free helps but its not easy to stick to in the winter so much!!

For me just switching to night time Levothyroxine has helped tremendously even after only 3 nights, I have so much more energy during the day and I feel 'different' which I know you all would understand.
