Hypothyroid->Digestion Issues->Allergies->Adrenaline->Insomnia

[pittybitty]

Hello,

I have been hypothyroid for about 22 years, the first 17 years I was so depressed that it just went by like a blur and I just assumed it was normal to have this little energy. Then the last 5 years I spend desperate trying to make a change, gradually overcame first social anxiety and then depression. But it wasn't until a few weeks ago I finally connected the dots and realized that I am legitimately hypothyroid.

I'm currently taking 120mg NDT/day and it has been very effective for the most part.

Unfortunately it seems the hypothyroidism also fucked up my digestion, if I eat the wrong thing I become cortisoid for roughly 6 hours, and thyroid doesn't fix it. This irritation also seems to cause allergies later, which then can cause an adrenaline cascade, which then causes insomnia.

Do I just need to wait for the thyroid to normalize the digestion? Is there any particular substance that helps get there faster? I've also been trying to find a method to end the adrenalinic metabolism so I can at least avoid the insomnia, but no such luck so far.

Hi,
I'd deal with a plan before taking anything else or the result won't last long.

• Stop allergenic elements, like agglutinin in wheat from gluten (impact on zonulin of the border brush) and irritant (like alcohol or cascara). Replace carbs from pasta / bread by starch from potato, rice and sweet potato. But only if manage well MCC (interprandial bowel movements). So you have stools twice a day, well-shaped.
  NB: Vary. 2 days one, once a day, and change afterwards. there is a lot of phytates in sweet potato. Need calcium or citrate (K or Mg) to take it away.
  -You won’t tolerate food with fiber if your intestinal walls are irritated. Need to calm down. I’d use glycine and L-glutamine. No L-glutamine if suspicion of SIFO (e.g. fungus as candida albicans).
  You can use collagen powder or best bone broth for glycine intake. No bone broth if you suffer from high grade histaminose (L3 histamine).
  L-theanine supplement 2x/d could help to relax too. Glycine and theanine have gaba-like effects on brain. Not enough to hold stress apart. Breath control (CO2) and a relax technique are required (Sophrology or EFT to lower adrenaline and subsequent cortisol).
  I’d take magnesium bisglycinate to recover on an easiest way. 300 mg 3x/d. Witt food. Our food doesn’t bring Mg enough. 450 mg is the RDA dose but we don’t reach it (…) Not enough when stressful. The dose 300 mg is to take after a stressful event, not before (no anticipation, useless).
  I follow my intake on cronometer.com; most of the time I have to add 2/3 of a dose (2.5 g = 1 dose) before sleep + add some potassium K citrate or KHCO3 (potassium bicarbonate).
  I have a special “receipt” with a shake for combining the acid-base balance and the recovery of intestinal walls.
  NB: Potassium levels should be optimized to avoid most problems with the glycemic control. Need for green soup but moderate it if you’re hypo (avoid excess thiocyanates from the cruciferous family).
• There is an interaction between the brain and the microbiome (intestinal flora) through the vagus nerve. Need to take it into account if you can’t eat what you’re advised, whenever your brain takes the control (cramps).
• You probably lack some B1 and B6. See Dr. Allil Overton. Impact of several pathologies. Cured with high dose (protocol)
  Do not take only one or two B-vitamins; there are interaction between B1 2 3 8, mainly. I‘d add a complex B-50 2x/w (co-enzymed), so not every day for the B-50 complex.
  Note: Remind you need a global plan. Taking one or two elements of the plan is not going to function. A 20’ walk after the evening dinner could help manage glycemia and stress.
  Take control of your health, and see you later to report
