What time gap did you find that you needed for iron?

Which things do you have problem with - just iron supplements, antacids, and dairy products? Does butter count as dairy, as I think it has much less calcium compared with milk or cheese? What about other foods containing calcium like broccoli, or products containing calcium-fortified flour...

What toppings were on the pizza?

I have been wondering whether the act of eating (e.g. The taste of food in your mouth) stimulates something?

Sounds like a blood sugar drop being rectified by food?

You may want to edit the title of your thread. It currently sounds like the thread is about "eating rapidly". :)

"The imprecise use of MUS as a diagnostic label may impact on the effectiveness of interventions" No shit! :emoji_joy:

But maybe I am overthinking regarding the potential food interactions. Doctors just say either always take it with food or always without food (and then we can find the right dosage for me). The main advice (i.e. not just stuff from obscure internet sites) is to take it 4 hours apart from...

Gah I'm really pissed off about this. WHY CAN'T ANYTHING EVER BE SIMPLE.

Well, I'm gonna give up on trying to figure this out for tonight. I'm late to bed, and it's consequently now several hours since I took my levothyroxine dose, so I can take Gaviscon now. And hope that my acid reflux disappears for a few months again... otherwise, I don't know how I will make...

OK... doing some research... found a study where levothyroxine was co-administered with 1250 mg calcium carbonate, and the blood level of thyroxine was then 80% of what it was without the calcium carbonate. And that's 4x as much CaCO3 as there is in my gaviscon. So maybe it won't be too bad if I...

I am partly just posting in this thread because it's the only way for me to marshall my thoughts productively

The Gaviscon packet says 2 hours separation... now that might be more doable... but other places say 4 hours separation between levothyroxine and antacids / levothyroxine and calcium. I suppose the version of Gaviscon that I use is quite a weak antacid - it mainly works via the 'raft' effect...

If I could get the 'raft' effect of Gaviscon without the antacid effect...

The simplest solution would be if I could find some solution to the acid reflux that doesn't involve taking antacids...

My brain fog can't figure out how to do this. I've recently started thyroid meds, and there are a tonne of things which can negatively affect absorption of them. Including various foods! I thought I had it all figured out, if I take them at bedtime then that avoids any of the unwanted...

I have just been informed, by somebody who knows more about the trial than me, that Fluge and Mella changed the dosing approach between Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the trial. That's worth consideration as a reason why the phases got different results.

I think it's fairly clear that the only reason she's mentioning her statistics qualification is because people are questioning whether she knows how to use statistics. She's not saying "I'm doing a statistics course at Harvard, therefore my theories are right". To me, her statement that...

Totally agree with Duncan.

I'm v tired so can't reply properly but will say this: We've had a discussion on this forum about placebo and it seemed like most of us were fairly sceptical about the ability of a placebo to change objective outcomes...
