You can probably get them at the grocery store. The third one can only be purchased online (I think you can get it on Amazon). Back when I had gastric problems and was hardly able to eat, these shakes helped me maintain a healthy weight.
Avatar f tn Oh, you wouldn't believe how many different ways there are to misspell poor old Hashimoto's name! Thus the shortcut "Hashi's". LOL Once you post something, you can't edit it. Don't give it another thought... If your numbers are really right, which means FT4 about the middle of the range and FT3 upper half of range, and you still don't feel right, it might be worth a try.
Avatar m tn We were told my grandson who just turned three this month is having thyroid issues and was put on pedisure. They said it could clear up in a months time. My grandson doesn't live with his mother and the paternal grandparents have played head games with her many times over so am needing some insight on this to make sure that this isn't possibly another one. They were not told to go see an endocrinologist. They were just told to put him on pediasure and it could clear up in a month.
Avatar f tn My first round of blood tests showed I was slightly anemic and b12 deficient. I started taking b12 supplements, and felt better for a couple days, and then got worse. My body temperature is much lower than normal (between 94.1 and 95.6 instead of my normal 97ish), I get dizzy and light headed often, my heart often races when I stand up, my legs hurt like crazy, and I often get shaky. Unfortunately my doctor says they are just panic attacks, but I really don't think they are.
Avatar f tn I looked at human nutrition for low thyroid and it was suggested to take the B vitamins. Can I or should I give this to my dog? If so, can I give a human pill and at what dose?

Avatar f tn My bloodwork including my TSH, Free T3, T4, and Thyroid Antibody Studies keep coming back normal according to my family doctor, however I have increasing symptoms of hyperthyroid.
Avatar m tn Dry skin and hair loss are symptoms of hypothyroidism, as are fatigue and memory issues. You should get tested for the thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4, along with TSH, which is the pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce its hormones. You should also get tested for Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune thyroid condition and for which symptoms can appear long before Free T3, Free T4 and TSH go out of range enough to show a problem.
1139187 tn?1355706647 What can hypothyroid patients do, i.e. nutrition and lifestyle changes, to cope with MTHFR inhibition? Dr. Ben Lynch: Hypothyroid patients must have their doctor monitor their TSH, T4, T3, and thyroid antibodies often in order to optimize thyroid function. If any of these values are off, then the thyroid function will be compromised and thus the MTHFR enzyme will be as well. It is critical that doctors monitor all these markers and not just TSH. TSH measurement by itself is worthless.

Avatar f tn t let your body get use to a routine or a specific nutrition plan. Changes confuse and shock your body into burning calories more efficiently. If all you're doing is cardio, I recommend changing it up to some type of weight lift or bodyweight interval training.

Diet is just one aspect of my recovery. Today I lay in the sun and meditated to a bit of classical music and felt at peace. I also hobbled to the shop with my sick daughter to get exercise.

Avatar f tn And remember, too much iron can lead to heart disease. The most well absorbed food sources of iron are green leafy vegetables, particularly parsley, dandelion greens, and the like. Beets are a good source. Few people know how to prepare them in the US, but nettles are also a good source. Seaweed is a good source. Combining these will get you enough and they are very healthy ways of getting your iron.

Avatar f tn oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat breads, oatmeal cookies, bran muffins, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice. Serve fruit and vegetables in any form, raw or cooked. Salads are great if she will eat it. The most important aspect to increased fiber is increasing your fluid intake. Fiber is great for increased bowel movements; however, it needs fluids to get through the colon. Suggest you limit rice, bananas, and fresh apples.
