[EllaC]

yeah its strange how often i hear of people who become sicker AFTER 'cleaning up' their diet ! it's totally a real thing.
many people in my sibo forum didnt even develop it until adopting paleo. however, it was not that way for me. i started SCD (a paleoesque diet) after my symptoms developed.

i dont think super low carb, super high fat + protein is really all that good for us, but my body responds terribly to carbs at the moment, so what can i do ? i keep eating the way i feel controls my symptoms

Now youl have me looking into the sibo forum and dhea.
But hey if you can recognise what foods agree with the you that's great, I'm still in that figuring out stage.. I was told through muscle testing I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. Eat those foods and feed inflammation but BUGGER ME it's a hard transition.
Re thyroid I'm using a roll on transdermal iodine supplelemnt. The say you roll on a small patch and monitor how long it takes to absorb. It should disapere after 24 hrs then ure good.
Mine can be anything from 3-10 hrs.. I do worry about overdosing on iodine but the manufacturers swore your body only absorbs what it needs.
I don't know how this ties in with what you may have and certInly not suggesting you try it but for me I think it proves I'm deficient and in all reality iodine in the every day diet I think is low

Anyway I hope you find the info you need.
