I started the Mastic Gum and NAC last week and tomorrow I will add in the Matula tea (upon rising and at bedtime) and add in the DGL prior to meals. Not sure about this. My itching has been coming and going. Seems more related to FODMAPs than anything else. I still worry about my inability to chew/digest protein without the support. It would be so much easier without worrying about the SIBO so much.
My BM still often feel incomplete (since stopping ox bile). TMI, I know but at least things are still moving. I worked up to 1/2 of a 1mg tablet of Resolor by accident really. One night I was distracted and took a half pill instead of a quarter and did okay so I have stayed there.
I tried to go down to 7.5mcg of my SR T-3 but started to feel cold, tired and my digestion a little more sluggish so I bumped back up to 15mcg. Maybe that's my sweet spot for now. r really should test my overall thyroid function again but in order for it to be submitted for coverage by my insurance it has to be ordered by a doctor and I don't want to schedule an appointment just to get a lab req.
My DUTCH test results should come back this week and I'll be able to meet with the medical director via phone to go over them. Hopefully will provide some insight into what is going on with my hormone conversion.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI've read much of your blog and it seems you've come a long way.
I wanted to ask you - you mention measuring the amount of FODMAPS when you prepare your meals. I have the LOW FODMAPS diet book by Sue Shepherd and cannot find this information.
I use the Monash App from Monash University in Australia on my ipad. They also have a booklet you can order. It shows all the acceptable amounts for FODMAPs. I found it really helpful in the beginning.
