Hypothyroid to Hyperthyroid

Most likely it is the fact you have lost some weight since the thyroid supplement dosage is weight based.

It also makes a difference when you take the replacement and with what - a lot of things can cause absorption problems for thyroid replacement. That could be a piece of the puzzle as well - have you changed when/how you take it?

I don't HAVE a thyroid so my situation is different, but I take the same dose as I did when I was much heavier - they check it pretty often but things are stable (thankfully).

I went to a new physio who just happened to know heaps about thyroids etc. To make this a short story, can anyone tell me if they've ever gone to a gluten free diet because of thier thyroid??

Also, please let me know if you've read "Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment" or "Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms"

I need to get as much balanced information from regular books & academic journals. Any suggestions regarding journals by chance???

Was this person an endocrinologist? Alternative medicine is good for certain things, but I don't know that is a good approach for Hashimoto's disease. Your approach on looking for supporting research is a good one.
