1475202 tn?1536270977 Also a couple of days ago due to my ammonia level being high (68) I took a zinc sulfate 220mg prescibed by my specialist to help with the ammonia. In less than a hour I was experiencing the worst pain I ever had. It was in my entire abdominal area and all the way across my lower back. Finally I tried a warm bath and it took the pain away. My specialist even called in some pain pills for me called Dicyclomine 20mg. which also helped relieve the pain.
Avatar n tn I treat with zinc, which keeps my copper levels low (but zinc causes nausea - but its better than the consequnces). At any rate, Wilson's is a treatable and manageable condition. IF detected early enough and if the variant is a slow progressing one, then your Sis could go on to live a full healthy life with med management. - So, I guess what im saying is that in some circumstances, Wilsons isnt the worst you could ask for.....
Avatar f tn Here is part of some information. The central role of iodide in thyroid physiology has been known for many years. The four iodine atoms of l-thyroxine (T4) constitute 65 percent of its weight; the three iodine atoms of triiodothyronine (T3) constitute 59 percent of its weight. Iodine is a trace element in the crust of the earth and its distribution is quite variable.
Avatar f tn I am undergoing LID for RAI treatment. I am confused with the salt issue. Is a salt that says " This salt does not provide IODIDE a necessary nutrient" a IODINE free salt or Iodine and Iodide are two different things? Should I consumed the one that says the statement I posted before?
Avatar f tn [14] Selenium is a component of the deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 to T3. It also protects the thyroid gland from damage by excessive iodide exposure. [14] Zinc appears to be involved in thyroid conversion and a deficiency correlates with reverse T3 production . [10,11,14,15] But zinc should not be supplemented without the guidance of a nutritionist or physician, because a balance needs to be maintained between zinc and copper.

Avatar f tn I have been taking potassium iodide drops (15 drops, twice a day) for about 2 months, and am wondering if this by any chance could've caused the abnormal size of my thyroid. In that case, can I wait a few months after I'm off of the medication to do a second ultrasound if necessary? Getting blood tests for me is a huge ordeal (I tend to faint), so I'm wondering if I can wait a bit until I'm off of the meds and see if it's really necessary... Thanks!

Avatar n tn You might be able to eat seaweed, were it pure seaweed, but there would be no way to be sure that the seaweed had not been contaminated by shellfish allergens. The iodine has nothing to do with the allergic reaction to fish and shellfish, so you are safe to eat iodized salt. Be aware, however that allergy to iodide is not rare, although unrelated to the seafood allergy.

776302 tn?1241091853 The only thing that is helping me shed the lbs. It has potassium iodide, selenium, a lot of B vitamins, L-tyrosine, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium.

1469458 tn?1287320290 Hi, welcome to the forum, few of the individuals are known to be allergic to iodine. In such cases Iodine is contraindicated. Hence, you need to avoid foods rich in iodine like seafood, seaweed, kelp, dairy products etc. You also need to prevent iodine preparations or compounds like potassium iodide. You can go for diets which contains very low iodine like egg whites, fresh meat, frozen and fresh vegetables, unsalted and raw steamed vegetables etc.
Avatar n tn Iodized salt is thus table salt mixed with a minute amount of potassium iodide, Dehydration results from the loss of water and important electrolytes from the body, including potassium, sodium, chloride, and many other minerals that are often overlooked. I am unsure y u r trying to avoid potassium as it is one of the items lacking when u dehydrate...many with chiari may have low levels of magnesium and potassium.
963964 tn?1319145218 If you take a copper supplement you should also take a zinc supplement (8 - 15 mg of zinc for every 1 mg of copper). Copper is needed to absorb iron from the gut so copper deficiency is a cause of iron deficiency.

Avatar f tn I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby?
Avatar n tn We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood. But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.
