I didn't want to take the medication route because that would totally mess up my blood sugar level. And I do have Type II diabetes (but well controlled with diet and exercise). So, Dr. Fishburn suggested that I get my blood tested for what food to avoid as she described that my condition could be linked to the leaky gut syndrome. So, eliminate certain food from the diet and then see if my thyroid levels would go up! <br /><br />If I had to pinpoint a day that this started for me, it would have to be about a year and half ago. I would feel fatigue all the time. I attributed this to being a single parent, holding two jobs that required me to be on my feet a lot and just running to and fro for my son's activities. Little did I know I had something else creeping up on me. That also explained the constant sinusitis I was having! Plus, the fact that I put on about 10 lbs in 1 year (despite exercising)!<br /><br />I am presently waiting for the blood work results to come back but in the mean time, I am doing my own elimination diet as well..and first thing on my list is to get rid of all soy products in my house! Really sad about this...because growing up in Singapore, soy products was considered healthy! :(Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724391738359418097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702033866074452919.post-38409412715558219332011-12-27T13:47:00.770-05:002011-12-27T13:47:00.770-05:00I will be following your blog!

I thought my depression was homesickness when I came back from a Family Reunion in New Zealand at the beginning of 2010. I was whopping on the weight and couldn't face the gym. Little did I know that my thyroid was raging out of control and I was having Epstein Barr-like symptoms. A friend told me about the 'Green Smoothie Revolution' and after reading the book I got myself a Vitamix. Yes the cost was a bit embarrassing but my health was worth it. My husband usually rides 30-40 miles most days on his bike. After being put on medication for Afib he took to the couch. He lost so much weight and unfortunately what he lost, I found! We had moved States and I had not met the right Doctor yet. But once I did and learned my condition was thyroid related I woke up and started on the road to wellness. Good luck and know you are not alone.
