Grain and half of thyroid but still low morning temp
-
I’ve gotten up to about a grain and a half of cynoplus split between breakfast and dinner and sometimes dose an extra 5mg of t3 at lunch.
My morning temp is still 97 - 97.3 and feel pretty hypo in the morning, like lack of circulation in face, puffy eyes, congestion.
After breakfast my temp goes up over a degree and I always hit 98.6 by afternoon and I generally feel good after some meals. I notice meals initially make me cold while digesting like all my circulation goes towards digestion not warming my extremities.
I’m wondering if I should go for the 2 grain mark that Broda and Peat saw was generally needed for patients to get out of hypo. Or should I address something else first like fine tuning diet and eating more. My digestion has always been very sensitive (prone to the runs) and the balance of eating enough while keeping good gut health has always been a challenge since our food quality is so bad.
Also what would be a good approach to taking 2 grains of cynoplus a day to avoid taking too much t3 at a time?
Thanks

Whats your diet? Sounds like you could be eating something that suppresses your thyroid.

@natureman My juice of choice is usually pineapple, not the best quality, and I’ll mix it with some grape, pomegranate, or cranberry. I’ve been putting some calcium carbonate in it in the morning just to add more calcium.
I do milk powder pancakes with syrup or marmalade and eggs and dates, pineapple, or banana for breakfast. Lately been making sourdough French toast but it’s not the best
Sometimes Fruit smoothies with pure pea protein
Lunch and dinner it’s usually some kind of mix of meat/seafood, milk, cheese, maybe a bit of cooked veggie, carrot, and fruit like dates, raisins, banana, juice. Sometimes I’ll have it with rice or potatoes.
Really nothing too naughty that I think would suppress thyroid. But I think the starches do mess with my digestion. And on the off occasion we eat out like chipotle that usually sets me off too.
