Docs wanted me to take thyroid meds but I wanted to try natural method. The non-synthetic meds are from animals and I’m a vegetarian so I didn’t want to go that route, then I found that they also can cause arrhythmia, and that has been a problem on and off so another reason I couldn’t take them. My sister has Graves so had to have her thyroid zapped and is on meds, don’t know which kind.
Everyone is different.
I’m all for natural methods and diet if it works. I wish I didn’t have to take meds but without them I have no quality of life at all.
I’m on a gluten free diet per my endocrinologist.
I need to lower my carbs next or really cut back on the rice and legumes. I’m finally not gaining weight, but it sure would be nice to be able to lose again.
