I had goiter 2 yrs ago, I found your video about the body types and you listed the vitamins that was needed for us. So as a start, I added selenium and stopped my other meds. I am goiter free now. Thank u
That's wonderful - well done! I'm a bit late to the party ...had half my thyroid removed due to a goitre which was quite big. I'm working on selenium now and will try and cut out gluten. Take care 🙂
Even with a Brazil nut a day, I still get goiters, but did not know about bile salts, so maybe trying those will eliminate the goiters. I utilized another method for getting rid of goiters, but can't say that using it seemed to alleviate other hypothyroid symptoms: boil flax seeds in purified water to create an egg-white-like fluid that you dip into with a clean towel and apply to the goiter as warm as you can tolerate it. Be sure to extract the seeds from the fluid using a strainer before you apply the fluid to the goiter, or else you will have flax seeds stuck to the towel. Also, make sure to keep the clear fluid covered during the boiling phase, or else you will end up with a clear film on your stovetop that will be hard to detect, but will scorch onto the stovetop with the stove's next use, and be very hard to scour off.
In April my THS level was 49.5 (it should not be more than 4/4.5). And my T4 was very low. I was asked to take synthetic thyroid hormone. I didn’t want to and I can’t explain why. I prayed about it and I found this video and started taking Zinc and Selenium tablets. In July my TSH was 5.4 and my T4 was back to normal - and my doctor was surprised. In September, it’s 3.4! Thank God! What was needed was all found in what He’s already provided. It’s amazing what good food, the right vitamins and minerals, good sleep, good exercise and reducing stress can do. Thanks for the advise Dr Berg I appreciate your videos
@@lordtimo826 yes I got some zinc and selenium tablets I take daily. THS is 3.4 now in September and taken another blood test last week to see if it has gone down as the endocrinologist says it should be 1.something ideally. It may just be that my body is healing naturally or that the zinc and selenium helped with the healing process. Based on other stories though, it could have gone either way. I think for any one, it is worth a try.
@@lordtimo826 maybe most cant be cured, but a few can - or at least can be 'managed'. In these few that can be managed, good diet, sleep and exercise also plays an important role in the management. For example, I know someone with hashimotos that has never had to take synthetic hormones in 20 years. With God, all things are possible.
You have saved my life. I have been dying for the last 10 years, until I saw your videos. 10 years I couldn't stay awake, and I am now returning to work.
Here’s a huge Thank You from this 82 year old Canadian Grannie for your in-depth explanation regarding my health issue! I was told many years ago, after blood tests, that my Thyroid was no longer present and I had to take Synthroid and Eltroxin for the rest of my life. Was never told ,why my Thyroid disappeared, always wondered!
I had 2/3 of my thyroid removed because of large nodules. No cancer was found. My surgery was August 10, 2020. So far, I am not on any meds. Thanks for this information.
I watch your videos everyday, learn and make changes to diet and lifestyle everyday, thank you and pray for your happiness in my heart everyday! Please make a video on how to get rid of uterine fibroids.
@@Drberg Your reproductive system needs iodine. Lack of iodine can cause breast cysts, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. I know because it worked for me!
@@Keep-on-ok Thank you and very kind of you to reply and help. In India, the table salt we get is always iodised salt. I use a combination of iodised salt and rock salt to balance. So I'm not sure if I need more iodine??
Hey Dr. Berg I see I watched this video before. I have to tell you for me it is a miracle from God that I have been off my thyroid medication for about six weeks now thanks to you! I was on thyroid medication for almost 50 years! I took synthyoid when I was younger did not do much. The past 15 years I was on Armour Thyroid and it did help but I started cleaning out my liver and I kept reducing the amount I needed to take now I am off feeling good! Thank you so much for all these videos!!!
Order the book liver cleanse and thyroid healing by medical medium he teaches how to heal both. He's also up here on UA-cam. Medical Medium Anthony Williams
@@crystalcarter1199 I have cleanse to heal by MM. May I ask what hormone you had to heal? If you had to heal anything. I’m working on increasing my Total T3 and decreasing my thyroid antibodies 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have a great doc, who, tweaking 2 meds: Natur-throid and Liothironin, balanced my T3 and T4, so my last tests showed no Hashimoto! And no synthetic drugs. I’m a fish monger, eat sea food almost every day, each my meal includes bright color veggie. I supplement my diet with 5000 IU D, 15mg Zinc and 1000 mg C, 100mg B complex
I've been following an online Dr... Westin Childs... he recommends Ashwangandha and says he has had great results with it for Hashimoto's... also diet... Dairy is also a big culprit as is wheat for Hashimotos. I tried the Hashimoto's Protocol diet - eliminated wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, caffeine (didn't give this one up), sugar... and it completely cleared up my gut and any irritation I had.
I was hypo in my early 20s & told the doctors they could take the medication & shove it you know where. I had recently decided to cut meat from my diet & after some studies of literature on metabolism & diet & realized I needed those amino acids from meat. Six months to destroy my thyroid levels & a couple years to fix it. I'm lucky I caught the issue before it got serious with symptoms. There's a reason for the saying "you are what you eat"
I have undetactive and you helped me alot. I suffered from insomnia and my body has changed but, I survived all of that. ❤ thank you for all you doing for people.
This is the first time I'm hearing about bile salts for thyroid disorders. Thank you. I literally had no idea. I've been doing everything and can't seem to solve the issue.
Bile salts are for liver and gall bladder to assist them. Bile salts help conversion and aid digestion and are needed to help absorb nutrients. Better not take with hyperthyroidism.
@@313angie1 That’s because that’s going to create more thyroid hormones which a person with hyperthyroidism already have too much. Dr Berg said it @6:33
Man I wish you'd give lessons to freaking endocrinologist. My daughter just went to Endo couple weeks ago for parathyroid tumor and the ONLY thing that lady wanted to talk about was how horrible we were for not taking synthroid. She was pushing her drug of choice and we weren't even in there for that reason. My daughter and I both have normal labs in the thyroid area and both have hashimotos. I've been on thyroid meds for 25 years and one thing I know for sure is I can't have synthroid....it makes my body completely freak out. I tried it on and off for few years but it never worked for me. Luckily back then I had a really great doctor who recommended t3 treatment only and that's when I finally started feeling normal again. Did that for five years but it got too expensive so I went to Glandular. But because so many glandular have been discontinued I was so lucky to find one that actually has naturally occurring t3 and t4. They're from New Zealand cows and the stuff has worked so great. Been on it for couple years now and I have a dead thyroid. Back to my point though....Synthroid has proven time and time again to be of little use in the body so I don't know why endocrinologist are pushing it so hard. They must get a huge bonus for that crap
@@nickiummfatimah Thyrovanz is the website I order from. I have a dead thyroid so I know the stuff works. If you're not on meds already start small. If you are then replace it with what dose you already have. That's what they told me. It's clean glandular from New Zealand cows and it's a miracle worker 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Tremors,palpitations,hair.lost,weakening of muscle sometimes i cant even walk,tiredness, i cant focus,execessive sweating,always feeling hot,my eyes are bigger than usual,many more.
@@amorrobosa8179 I had all the same exact too.! Have you tried the whole 30? Or Aip diet or paleo diet. That's what took my symptoms away. No nightshades, no nuts, no chocolate, no white sugar, no flours. No dairy. I hope this helps you!! Like it helped me. !
@@amorrobosa8179 Wow I have the hair loss, weak muscles, sometimes I am shaky. Sometimes hot then cold.and joint pain in my ankles. My doctor said I that I am Hypo.
New subscriber here. Was a professional athlete back in the 80s and took Synthroid; I guess it did permanent damage bc now I need it. A friend told me high cholesterol is the cause of a hypo thyroid. Got that too; hereditary. Look forward to this channel. Thank you.
Nah, main cause of hypo is hashimoto. Did you not listen to this video at all? Also, cholesterol is a good building block of all cells and hormones in your body. If your VLDL/ LDL-B particle COUNT is high, then yes. But that's mainly because of insulin resistance anyway, which equates to too many manmade carbs, added sweeteners, eating nutrient poor foods, and not enough adequate intensity exercise. Also vital to measure are triglycerides, which are liver fat.. strongly tied to the same insulin resistance root causes listed above. I'd at least get your fasting insulin with C-Peptide, your CRP, Coronary calcium & HDL checked if you want to be more sure you're metabolically healthy. PS, don't settle for that silly "normal range" doctors like to throw at you. Learn what healthy & OPTIMAL actually is
Yes- when my estrogen levels dropped I also had to drop the level of thyroid meds- the estrogen apparently blocked absorption . High estrogen might also have been why I had worse PMS and hormonal issues after having each child? I also had my gal bladder removed before developing hypo … guess this is an issue for many. Synthroid works better than Generic.
I have a TSH-4th Generation result of 0.0580, so it's really low. The doctor just told me to rest, sleep well and pray. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I feel really tired and haven't been sleeping properly.
Thank you Dr. Berg, what do i take if i have no Thyroid (removed due to cancer) no gallbladder and a fatty liver? Had breast cancer and guillian barre syndrome (GBS) all at the same time!
Hi Dr. Berg, My mom had a thyroidectomy a year ago and takes medication for thyroid hormone (to produce). Her Endocrinologist doesn’t look at her T3 since she says that T4 is most important and states that her T4 is at the levels that she wants. Should T3 be looked at? Looking forward to your advice. Love ❤️ your content and always look forward to your videos. Thanks 🙏🏻 Dr. Berg.
I had my thyroid removed in 2012 and seen several endocrinologist ..they will tell me the same story .. Is not necessary to check anything else..only TSH is important ..I finally gave up and ditched them because they didn't care how I felt ..Went to a N.D and found out I had many other issues ..Low T3 Low idone,Low Vitamin D and lots of inflammation and so on...Was put on Different dosages Of levo from 125-200mg nothing work through out the years ..I'm now taking Natural Armour and I'm hoping to see results ..It's only been a few weeks so i understand it could take time to adjust the medication..But my N.D did so much blood work on me ,something this endos don't do ..Please Don't waste your time with them ..I certainly did for many years and I regret it
Take synthroid at bedtime, no food 4 hours before. Don't take calcium or magnesium with synthroid. Slower digestion at night optimizes the meds. Made a huge difference when i did this
This is such a frustrating condition to deal with. I’ve had doctors tell me my thyroid function is “fine”, but I am totally unable to function without my otc glandular that I take. If I stop, within a month, I can’t get out of bed. Tells me there’s a lot they don’t know about this issue.
Very wide range in testing, what is ok or not. Typically they go by symptoms. And zillions of possible symptoms. If left untreated, usually gets worse.
I use a product by Ultra Glandulars, thyroid formula. It’s freeze dried glandulars from free range New Zealand. I also have Alpha Gal so I’m sensitive to beef/red meat products and this is the only one that works for me, but I know there are other brands. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but I’m dead without it and I can’t get any help. I haven’t been tested in a few years...seems pointless.
Also, standard ranges are determined from the general population of white males. Average males, not those in prime condition. Considering estrogen plays a role in this, these ranges may mean little for women, especially post menopausal women. Our genetics etc play a part in what is optimal for each person.
Your healthy thyroid plan:👍 Stay lean. Studies show that women with a BMI over 40 have a slightly lower thyroid function, says Pearce, but it's not clear which is the cause and which is the effect. Maintain your iodine levels. Hit the gym. Treat iron and zinc deficiencies. Balance female hormones. Manage stress.
I can relate. My daughter and myself both have hypothyroid and hashimotos. Growing up in my house when I was younger was hard because ny health wasn't very good. My family used to tell me I made it up or I was hypochondriac 🤣🤣🤣. The brother they said that the most ended up with it as well and my sister with a whole host of other problems. Tell your family to be nice, it might come back to bite them.
This is so helpful and really helps my overall understanding. I don’t have any antibodies but I do seem to have thyroid issues. I’m not thrilled about going on medication so I’m trying supplements for 2 months. I was having some trouble finding supplements at the store but this breakdown really helps me understand what to look for. I finally ordered a supplement off Amazon and I will be looking for these items. Thank you!!
Dr. Berg, looking extra fine in this video. Hello that hair cut and looking more toned and slimmed down, what?!! Amazing👏🏻 Just keep up on the weights! 💪🏻 👏🏻 Thank you for all these years of providing your fans with so much life enhancing knowledge! 💕
@Aaliyah Perez I have Hashimoto and I gave up gluten, sugar, corn, omega 6 oils, dairy and refined grains. I eat low carb and I take 200mcg selenium daily. When the thyroid gets damaged, the problem behind it are the adrenals. So I have adrenal fatigue too.
@@Khessous-v8i I started diet and selenium in April and in October the anti-tpo were 396. Now there are around 100. I still eat Paleo. If I would go back to gluten, sugar etc the antibodies would raise again because they are high when you have inflammation in the body. So lower inflammation = lower antibodies
Dr. Berg where is your clinic? Can I see you for my hypothyroidism issues? I am 100% sure that you have a solution for my problem, because what you are talking about is what I am suffering from. Thanks!
Yes, I have Thyroid (hypo) conditions. I take levothyroxine one every morning empty stomach for more than 20 yrs. I wish you educate us more for those who still struggle with the disease. It run in my family. Now I’m told autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto) advised to stay away from gluten which was very hard to do. now thank goodness I get so much staff gluten free. Can you please talk about it more(educate) us in detail how to get improve without taking prescriptions drug. Thank you Dr.
Yea I take levothyroxine as well everyday. And I still feel tired. I take iron vitamins too. I need to know how to deal with the primary problem. Also now I’m pregnant and I don’t want it to be worse after my pregnancy
Goodmorning !! I instantly clicked this video when it popped up lol . PLEASE talk about having a Goiter ( No Hypo , No Hyper , I don’t even have any autoimmune diseases to cause this ) . I do have leaky gut and SIBO but no Graves’ disease or hashimotos . None of my doctors or holistic doctors know how to get the swelling down 😭
You probably have hypo or hyper and they are just not using the right reference ranges. Also women of different ethnic backgrounds can had a lower optimal range so even if they have a raging thyroid condition it will be misdiagnosed. I think that's my problem too because when I was pregnant I had massive goiter and terrible symptoms and yet my doctor said I have subclinical hypothyroidism. There is nothing subclinical about it if I'm at risk for a miscarriage and my thyroid is clearly visible through my neck.
What diet are you on now 🤔 have you considered going straight carnivore for 30 60 days 🤔 that would clear up leaky gut at a minimum 🤷♀️ but also address sibo. . Good luck my friend 💪 #StayLegendary 💯💖🌈🤸♀️🤸♀️
I have a hypothyroïd and take Synthroid since I’m 13. (BPD) I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I have Fibroids. (I’m 44 yrs old) I tried to eat Keto. I’m on my 8th week but have fallen off the wagon a few times this week and gained a few lbs. I don’t know how people do it. I’m so tired of eating the same thing over and over like meat, eggs, salad, broccoli. I want to keep going though. Still gonna keep trying.
Before 6 monthes ago,my lab result was showed high T3.When tested again after a month the result was okay without taking any treatment.I still have awuestion how it reterned back normal within a short time without taking any corrective treatment.I will try the test within another docter and see the result again. Thank you very much for your awesome health information.
Went in for a wellness checkup and my NP decided not to order the t3 t4 test. First time ever. Now I don't know what I have. She is mad that I stopped my meds and asked me if I was watching people on the internet. I feel better than before. Occasional headache but not frequent.
Growths on thyroid, sometimes the source of excessive hormone. Endocrine doctor will order ultrasound periodically perhaps every two years to see any change. A lot of people have nodules. Sometimes nodules could be cancerous, but they can test for that. I have Graves disease, in remission.
@@ybe7011 can’t say, but if they are not affecting you then they do nothing but monitor. Mine were not the source of excess hormone, I’m naturally occurring high - that’s what Graves is.
@@robertp7209 I am happy for you, great job! Can you please tell me what did you do to put it in remission! Sadly, My 10 year old son last year got diagnosed with type1diabetic and hyperthyroidism Graves disease last year😪😪😪😪 any help will be greatly appreciated. Stay safe and healthy
Ok this is hands down the absolute best info I have ever heard!!! Maybe bcuz it hits home ... Thanks Dr B What is REVERSE TYPE BLOOD WORK? MINE WAS AT 600 OR 800 I don't remember all I do remember is how AWFUL I FELT ALL THE TIME .....😐
Dr Berg, I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with a TSH of 3.08. Obgyn wants to put me on synthyroid which if I understood you correctly is a synthetic version of T4. And if it’s a conversion problem then it probably won’t do much good. I also have biliary dyskinesia and a history of cholestasis in previous pregnancies. This indicates to me that I have a conversion problem from T4 to T3. I did the carnivore diet prior to getting pregnant and it reduced my inflammation greatly. I also believe it helped me get pregnant. Unfortunately, during the first trimester I was so sick all I wanted was carbs and sugar. I’m convinced this is where I’m running into problems and now that I am feeling better going into the second trimester, I’m going back to a Keto diet. I’m also taking Betaine HCL, bile salts, vitamin D3, zinc, and sea kelp. I’m willing to consider the risks and benefits and this seems like my greatest chance in controlling the situation 🙏🏼
Did you ever do a video for people with a completely removed Thyroid? What love to get some input on how I can improve my organism further than just eating 125mg thyroxin per day
I sure wish I had you as a Dr I had two heartaches and they said it was due to Graves’ disease. I will get some vitamin d and b1 I feel awful all the time. I’m only 43 yrs old. Thank you for your suggestions. 🙏
My doctor does the same cheap blood test and tell me it's normal however I have all the symptoms of hypothyroid I have felt horrible for over ten years also I don't have a gall bladder and my doctor does not listen I just want to feel better!!
Please search online for other tests. TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and TPOab you can ask your doctor for this. If he refuses, change doctor. Sometimes they give you this paper, where they fill a check mark on which tests to do, I once took mine and checked in for things I wanted myself, and I delivered it to the lab. Just check it with pen yourself. And at doctors ask the doctor to print out results for you, I walways do that, You are allowed to get your own results
So just please tell me how to correct it, and what to take to suppress the antibodies? Selenium and zinc, vitamin D3 kelp and purified bile salts? for hashimotos?
Hi Dr. Berg. I’m hyperthyroid and watched your when not to take extra vitamin D video where it states not to take vitamin D if hyperthyroid but this video states to take it at high levels if hyperthyroid. Which is correct?
Hello Dr. Berg, the last blood work I have had shows my TSH astronomically high considering the normal range, 2/21 19.10, 4/21 36.21, 5/21 33.07, 8/21 34.63, i just started on a prescription called Armor and in October I have an appt. with Unity Thyroid center, looking for answers and info regarding the Thyroid, hope I find the right answers.
Thanks Dr. Berg very nice. This what I love about your videos. To the point no extra nonsense & almost all the points are covered. Thank you so much for your help to us. Take care.
I have hypo but no mention of hashimoto from the doc. Is that a separate test? I am on levo but would like a non synthetic alternative. Thanks for your great videos
Have you heard of natural decicated thyroid hormones. Maybe try that. To learn if you have hashimoto's you gotta get a TPO test. There are 2 types of thyroid antibody tests. I cant remember the other one. You should do those.
Levo made me a mess. I order from a place called thyrovanz. They have natural Glandular stuff that works really well and I have a dead thyroid. It has t3/t4 in it's natural form, not synthetic which the body doesn't know what to do with. MOST endocrinologist don't want you on that stuff, I've seen two and they don't like non drug solutions. So stay away from the endocrinologist 🤣🤣🤣. Anyhow, thyrovanz has different doses so you can find one that works best for you
How do you know if you are either HYPO or HYPER? I have ridges in my fingernails and I remember couple months ago seeing one of your videos stating that nail ridges are an indication of thyroid issues
Pregnant and scared af now. My mom developed hashimoto’s after pregnancy, without knowing. I think I will stay close to DIM after delivery and breastfeeding. To prevent this from happening.
Same thing happened to me. But I had a really good doctor at that time who did additional blood work and found out I had underlying injection for years. Those kinds of things will cause autoimmune and keto keeps it under control. Gluten and loads of sugar will cause flare-ups like a freaking internal volcano. So if you at least stay away from gluten you shouldn't have too many problems
Thank you so much . I'm tring to help my mom who recently went off 40 yrs on lavothyroxine and. Now on Armour this his her 1st month. Tomorrow blood test. I really hope she won't have to go back on the chemical rather then maybe if there some thing more reasonable then Armour. God bless
He has videos on that my friend, go and type gallbladder and doctor berg in UA-cam search, it will pull up every videos on the subject. His team, when posting videos uses hashtags #️⃣ so searching made easy peezy 🤷♀️ #StayLegendary my UA-cam friend 💯 😄 💖💪🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
Do this ASAP, as you start losing nutrients from the moment your organ is taken. Your health depends on this. I went 10 yrs without knowing and it is harder to fix than to prevent. I still have health issues, because of the stupidity of the rockefeller’s taught doctors keeping you unhealthy and sick, I was never taught or told the importance of bile in the “whole” body function of health. Don’t wait start now, please.
I was put on levothyroxine and never really saw much of a difference at all and how I felt. After listening to you say it is secondary to something else. They never mentioned anything about fatty liver or all of the other possibilities. Should I ask for testing of my gallbladder, etc., to make sure there is not something else going on
Please explain what the "normal ranges' are for free T-4/T-3. What if the THS is very high, but the free T4/T3's are in the normal range? Also, could pharaceuticals trigger Hashimoto's in a man? If not, then what?
I have vitiligo, hashimotos, and high cholesterol levels . Will supplements like bit D , spirulina, Chlorella , and a diet high in vegetables help? Your advice is really appreciated. Thanks
I myself do have hypothyroidism. When I found out, two of my sisters were already diagnosed with it also for a couple of years. I won't take the Synthroid and did it the natural way. I bought sea kelp at first but noticed that I was holding fluid so I switched to iodine, I take 200 of selenium and I also take vitamin B1 and I was also taking zinc, didn't take zinc 100% of the time because it would cause a awful up set stomach. My Dr didn't say a word and I did this for 3 months and everything was back to normal. I even think my range was 2.25 or something like that. Then I wasn't able to get the iodine that I was taking and I didn't know to much about the differences in them so I bought the one from Alex Jones. Big mistake. After taking everything that I was taking before except honestly even a little less zinc my levels shy rocketed over 5. But I knew something wasn't right. I was tired, and not just a regular tired but the tired of you don't lay down you are going to fall down tired. Only thing that I changed was iodine I was taking and a little less zinc. So I tried to find an iodine that was as close as the first iodine I had found and had been taking for months to almost a year and need to go get my blood work again. I'm to add zinc back into taking it every day also starting now and see if that helps bring it down where it should be. I also have digestive issues. I'm over weight but have been since I can remember but now the weight is different. I hold a lot of weight in my mid section. The Dr's try to say I have gallbladder problems but I don't have gallstones or sludge, they said they believe that it isnt working like it should and I should have a hydascan done and I probably will have to have it removed. I have been to a few different Dr's that deal with the gallbladder and none of them gave the same answer of what is going on with me. I have had this bloating and pain in my mid spine since 2014,, and unfortunately has only gotten worse to where I ended up in the er and they kept me not because of my gallbladder but because of having illeus. I don't think I spelt that right but it is where your intestines quit working and get blocked and if the Dr's can't get them moving again then they would have to do surgery to remove the parts of intestines that quit working. Thankfully with my prayers to God I was able to leave a couple of days later but to be honest I still think I still have that problem still today. The burning pain now is not only in my mid back but also radiates in my right rib cage. I do believe I did something to my back one evening around Halloween in 2014 because I was trying to carry everything into my dad's instead of making multiple trips. But I felt something let loose and the pain was unbearable. I tell Dr's this but they never want to listen. I believe I have a pinched nerve or something that is causing this burning pain and now it goes into my rib cage and I believe what ever is pinched is causing a part of my intestinal track not to work. I take 3000 MG of magnesium to even be able to go to the bathroom because my mag levels are so love even taking that much of magnesium. But if I don't take it not only does my bloating and distention get worse but the pain is so pad from the bloating and distention that I would end up in the hospital. I know this is long and I doubt if Dr burg would even see it or respond to me. I know this because I have tried many times. I hate going to Reg Dr's because they don't want to listen. They just want to jump to gallbladder but I don't think it is my gallbladder. I have no pain what so ever in my stomach anywhere. You could push where the gallbladder is is and no pain not even when I was in the ER, my stomach didn't hurt at all. At that time all the pain was in my mid to lower back and it felt as if someone had a air compressor hooked to my stomach and they just kept putting air in me and I could actually feel my skin stretching and it felt as if I was going to split apart but not once did I have any pain in my stomach. Not where the gallbladder, liver, pancreas or anything for that matter had pain. Only in my mid to lower back. It could have been my intestines but I know I never want to feel like that again. I just pray Dr burg reads this and tries to help me. I am so tired of not being able to live a normal life that it's getting to the point of why live at all. I can't even eat like a normal person but still gain weight. Most of the time I look 12 months pregnant but I can never enjoy my food. But one thing that I think is helping me just a tad is I found prebiotics, I take them with probiotics and actually found a gummy that is both pre/probiotics and the one good thing is that my magnesium has been in the low range of normal for the first time in 10 yrs. So it has to be helping in some way. Thank you to who ever made it through my short novel. Also let me know if taking the bile salt of Dr burgs has helped you or if you have taken a different kind of bile salts that has helped you. Thank you so much, God bless 🙏😇🙏
@@rses916 to be honest both of my sisters take it and it hasn't helped them. As Dr burg said taking it don't actually help the problem because it don't help convert. I just ate and took my zinc but there is no way of taking it on an empty stomach. 🤮 I am always bloated. Let say that I eat a meal and not a meal that most people can eat, well even if I drink water to take my vitamins that I was taking after eating it would make my bloating even worse to the point of having to take something for pain and lay down because I felt so bad. I also thought it could be gluten but I don't think so. Over the last week I have been trying to eat eggs and sausage or with bacon and 2 pieces of toast and a half cup of pineapple in its own juice to help digest the food. But that one meal will last me all day long. I won't be hungry till maybe 12 hours or longer but it's not a hunger like moat people would get so I eat something small because if I were to eat another meal I would pay for it dearly. I have had stomach emptying test and other than the first hour of my food digest a little quickly it was normal I've had ultrasounds, I've had for you drink the white chalky stuff and they take X-rays and then they pushed on my stomach with this big ball with the X-ray machine and they want to know if that hurt and I told him no but it was hurting my lower back because I have herniated disc at L4, L5 and S1. So the only thing that has seemed to help just a little bit is taking the pre/probiotics. I can actually hear my stomach make noises where as before it made none. I still believe I have illeus and parts of my intestines are partially not working or maybe they're narrowed which is not allowing the food to move through am I go to the bathroom all I get is earthworm size stool but most of the time it's in like little inch segments but no doctor want to listen to me about that they said it was normal so I give up on Western medicine. Have to figure things out for my self. Just going to start to take the zinc and see if it helps with they thyroid and hope it gives me some energy. I even took a 5 hour energy drink this morning and I could actually go to sleep. So tired of feeling this way. I do agree with the stress part. I believe that stress is the number one killer and the number one cause of so many diseases. And unfortunately STRESS is the number one in my life and has been for several years and then some. Thank you for messaging me, I truly appreciate it. God bless 🙏😇🙏
Again ! Dr Eric - Thank You for this video. I am certain I am hypo - I have no access to Bile Salts (live in a rubbish country!) So I thank you again for your information and advice which allows me to do the 'best I can' with limited resources... Stay Safe...
I am recently feeling that my neck swells up all of a sudden, makes my face look puffy and neck skin sags. Then I take centrum and the swelling kinda disappears for some time. I don’t want to go to a doctor because I usually cure myself with supplements. I try not to take medicines for anything.
How much zinc per day is recommended for hypo? How much bile salts? Thanks. I know you say 200mcg of selenium and 10,000 ius - 20,000 ius of vitamin D3 per day in previous videos. Thanks.
Dr. Berg thank you for the very helpful videos, i have a question is there any Bloodtest for Iodine? and how can we know if hypothyroidism ist due to iodine deficiency or too much iodine? thank you very much and cant wait for answer :)
See dr Berg's video on iodine and how to do home iodine test. Depending where you live - in States you can probably take blood test for it, but there are also some urine tests for iodine you can buy and do by yourself. In my country there are no blood or urine tests available and I can't afford to import it from USA, so I just use iodine water test for aquariums - looks like it works pretty well.
I heard there was a connection between gluten and having a low thyroid. I've been taking some of the supplements you mentioned and also doing gluten free. I'll report back when I have blood work in the spring of 2023.
Gosh - I could never imagine a world without Dr Berg. He is the BEST. ❤❤❤❤
Agreed 1,000% 😊
Agreed !!!!
Agreed. He is so good and helpful.
He is. I love his wifes personality too
we'd all be in trouble!
I had goiter 2 yrs ago, I found your video about the body types and you listed the vitamins that was needed for us. So as a start, I added selenium and stopped my other meds. I am goiter free now. Thank u
Hi Carmi, do you remember what brand of selenium you were taking at the time?
That's wonderful - well done! I'm a bit late to the party ...had half my thyroid removed due to a goitre which was quite big. I'm working on selenium now and will try and cut out gluten. Take care 🙂
Even with a Brazil nut a day, I still get goiters, but did not know about bile salts, so maybe trying those will eliminate the goiters. I utilized another method for getting rid of goiters, but can't say that using it seemed to alleviate other hypothyroid symptoms: boil flax seeds in purified water to create an egg-white-like fluid that you dip into with a clean towel and apply to the goiter as warm as you can tolerate it. Be sure to extract the seeds from the fluid using a strainer before you apply the fluid to the goiter, or else you will have flax seeds stuck to the towel. Also, make sure to keep the clear fluid covered during the boiling phase, or else you will end up with a clear film on your stovetop that will be hard to detect, but will scorch onto the stovetop with the stove's next use, and be very hard to scour off.
@@lucybraun8969 you need iodine....
In April my THS level was 49.5 (it should not be more than 4/4.5). And my T4 was very low. I was asked to take synthetic thyroid hormone. I didn’t want to and I can’t explain why. I prayed about it and I found this video and started taking Zinc and Selenium tablets. In July my TSH was 5.4 and my T4 was back to normal - and my doctor was surprised. In September, it’s 3.4! Thank God! What was needed was all found in what He’s already provided.
It’s amazing what good food, the right vitamins and minerals, good sleep, good exercise and reducing stress can do.
Thanks for the advise Dr Berg I appreciate your videos
Only zinc and selenium?
@@lordtimo826 yes I got some zinc and selenium tablets I take daily. THS is 3.4 now in September and taken another blood test last week to see if it has gone down as the endocrinologist says it should be 1.something ideally. It may just be that my body is healing naturally or that the zinc and selenium helped with the healing process. Based on other stories though, it could have gone either way. I think for any one, it is worth a try.
@@MP16298 but many doctors said thyroid problems can't be cured
@@lordtimo826 maybe most cant be cured, but a few can - or at least can be 'managed'. In these few that can be managed, good diet, sleep and exercise also plays an important role in the management. For example, I know someone with hashimotos that has never had to take synthetic hormones in 20 years. With God, all things are possible.
@@MP16298 actually doctors are useless in thyroid problems. they suck and seem to be hiding something.

Here’s a huge Thank You from this 82 year old Canadian Grannie for your in-depth explanation regarding my health issue! I was told many years ago, after blood tests, that my Thyroid was no longer present and I had to take Synthroid and Eltroxin for the rest of my life. Was never told ,why my Thyroid disappeared, always wondered!
Wow, natural born teacher. First time ever that I finally get who does what when it comes to thyroid hormons. Thank you so much.
I had 2/3 of my thyroid removed because of large nodules. No cancer was found. My surgery was August 10, 2020. So far, I am not on any meds. Thanks for this information.
I watch your videos everyday, learn and make changes to diet and lifestyle everyday, thank you and pray for your happiness in my heart everyday!

Hey Dr. Berg I see I watched this video before. I have to tell you for me it is a miracle from God that I have been off my thyroid medication for about six weeks now thanks to you! I was on thyroid medication for almost 50 years! I took synthyoid when I was younger did not do much.

I've been following an online Dr... Westin Childs... he recommends Ashwangandha and says he has had great results with it for Hashimoto's... also diet... Dairy is also a big culprit as is wheat for Hashimotos. I tried the Hashimoto's Protocol diet - eliminated wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, caffeine (didn't give this one up), sugar... and it completely cleared up my gut and any irritation I had.

I was hypo in my early 20s & told the doctors they could take the medication & shove it you know where. I had recently decided to cut meat from my diet & after some studies of literature on metabolism & diet & realized I needed those amino acids from meat. Six months to destroy my thyroid levels & a couple years to fix it. I'm lucky I caught the issue before it got serious with symptoms.
There's a reason for the saying "you are what you eat"
I messed mine up going vegan almost 40 years ago. It was suppose to be a cheap, healthy way to eat when poor. Messed me up big time.

Bile salts are for liver and gall bladder to assist them. Bile salts help conversion and aid digestion and are needed to help absorb nutrients.
Better not take with hyperthyroidism.
@@marlenegold280 why not?
@@313angie1 That’s because that’s going to create more thyroid hormones which a person with hyperthyroidism already have too much. Dr Berg said it @6:33

THANKS DR ERIC BERG.
Happy to help!
Man I wish you'd give lessons to freaking endocrinologist. My daughter just went to Endo couple weeks ago for parathyroid tumor and the ONLY thing that lady wanted to talk about was how horrible we were for not taking synthroid. She was pushing her drug of choice and we weren't even in there for that reason. My daughter and I both have normal labs in the thyroid area and both have hashimotos. I've been on thyroid meds for 25 years and one thing I know for sure is I can't have synthroid....it makes my body completely freak out. I tried it on and off for few years but it never worked for me. Luckily back then I had a really great doctor who recommended t3 treatment only and that's when I finally started feeling normal again. Did that for five years but it got too expensive so I went to Glandular. But because so many glandular have been discontinued I was so lucky to find one that actually has naturally occurring t3 and t4. They're from New Zealand cows and the stuff has worked so great. Been on it for couple years now and I have a dead thyroid. Back to my point though....Synthroid has proven time and time again to be of little use in the body so I don't know why endocrinologist are pushing it so hard. They must get a huge bonus for that crap
@@nickiummfatimah Thyrovanz is the website I order from. I have a dead thyroid so I know the stuff works. If you're not on meds already start small. If you are then replace it with what dose you already have. That's what they told me. It's clean glandular from New Zealand cows and it's a miracle worker 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

@@amorrobosa8179 Wow I have the hair loss, weak muscles, sometimes I am shaky. Sometimes hot then cold.and joint pain in my ankles. My doctor said I that I am Hypo.
Morning Dr. Berg! Blessings!!
So true about taking T3 as well as T4. I feel so much better now that I'm taking both. Wish I'd known about T3 years ago but better late than never.
I am taking it too ❤
What is T3 and T4
How much time before your symptoms started disappearing ?
New subscriber here. Was a professional athlete back in the 80s and took Synthroid; I guess it did permanent damage bc now I need it. A friend told me high cholesterol is the cause of a hypo thyroid. Got that too; hereditary. Look forward to this channel. Thank you.
Nah, main cause of hypo is hashimoto. Did you not listen to this video at all?
Also, cholesterol is a good building block of all cells and hormones in your body. If your VLDL/ LDL-B particle COUNT is high, then yes. But that's mainly because of insulin resistance anyway, which equates to too many manmade carbs, added sweeteners, eating nutrient poor foods, and not enough adequate intensity exercise.
Also vital to measure are triglycerides, which are liver fat.. strongly tied to the same insulin resistance root causes listed above.
I'd at least get your fasting insulin with C-Peptide, your CRP, Coronary calcium & HDL checked if you want to be more sure you're metabolically healthy. PS, don't settle for that silly "normal range" doctors like to throw at you. Learn what healthy & OPTIMAL actually is
You are amazing doctor, I have seen so so many positive changes in health after following your advise. God bless you.
Yes- when my estrogen levels dropped I also had to drop the level of thyroid meds- the estrogen apparently blocked absorption . High estrogen might also have been why I had worse PMS and hormonal issues after having each child?
I also had my gal bladder removed before developing hypo … guess this is an issue for many.
Synthroid works better than Generic.
I have a TSH-4th Generation result of 0.0580, so it's really low. The doctor just told me to rest, sleep well and pray. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I feel really tired and haven't been sleeping properly.
Thank you Dr. Berg, what do i take if i have no Thyroid (removed due to cancer) no gallbladder and a fatty liver? Had breast cancer and guillian barre syndrome (GBS) all at the same time!
must eat right...is the most important.
Hi Dr. Berg,
My mom had a thyroidectomy a year ago and takes medication for thyroid hormone (to produce). Her Endocrinologist doesn’t look at her T3 since she says that T4 is most important and states that her T4 is at the levels that she wants. Should T3 be looked at? Looking forward to your advice. Love ❤️ your content and always look forward to your videos. Thanks 🙏🏻 Dr. Berg.
I had my thyroid removed in 2012 and seen several endocrinologist ..they will tell me the same story .. Is not necessary to check anything else..only TSH is important ..I finally gave up and ditched them because they didn't care how I felt ..Went to a N.D and found out I had many other issues ..Low T3 Low idone,Low Vitamin D and lots of inflammation and so on...Was put on Different dosages Of levo from 125-200mg nothing work through out the years ..I'm now taking Natural Armour and I'm hoping to see results ..It's only been a few weeks so i understand it could take time to adjust the medication..But my N.D did so much blood work on me ,something this endos don't do ..Please Don't waste your time with them ..I certainly did for many years and I regret it
Yes my GP wont do a t3 test. Says its not neccessary with the new formula levothyroxine
@@pamclarke6785 hey get a new doctor!!! That is bad advice!!
Have a wonderful day Dr Berg! Thank you 😊
Take synthroid at bedtime, no food 4 hours before. Don't take calcium or magnesium with synthroid. Slower digestion at night optimizes the meds. Made a huge difference when i did this
This is such a frustrating condition to deal with. I’ve had doctors tell me my thyroid function is “fine”, but I am totally unable to function without my otc glandular that I take. If I stop, within a month, I can’t get out of bed. Tells me there’s a lot they don’t know about this issue.
Very wide range in testing, what is ok or not. Typically they go by symptoms. And zillions of possible symptoms. If left untreated, usually gets worse.
What “glandular” product do you recommend? I’m struggling.
whats your tsh t4 t3
I use a product by Ultra Glandulars, thyroid formula. It’s freeze dried glandulars from free range New Zealand. I also have Alpha Gal so I’m sensitive to beef/red meat products and this is the only one that works for me, but I know there are other brands. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but I’m dead without it and I can’t get any help. I haven’t been tested in a few years...seems pointless.
Also, standard ranges are determined from the general population of white males. Average males, not those in prime condition. Considering estrogen plays a role in this, these ranges may mean little for women, especially post menopausal women. Our genetics etc play a part in what is optimal for each person.
Very helpful! Why didn’t my doctor tell me this 25 years ago! I can work on maintaining whatever shriveled thyroid I have left.
Your healthy thyroid plan:👍
Stay lean. Studies show that women with a BMI over 40 have a slightly lower thyroid function, says Pearce, but it's not clear which is the cause and which is the effect.
Maintain your iodine levels.
Hit the gym.
Treat iron and zinc deficiencies.
Balance female hormones.
Manage stress.
All excellent advice. I have hyperthyroidism and all of these I'm working on now (had anemia then did surgery and that caused my symtoms to flare).

@Aaliyah Perez I have Hashimoto and I gave up gluten, sugar, corn, omega 6 oils, dairy and refined grains.
I eat low carb and I take 200mcg selenium daily.
When the thyroid gets damaged, the problem behind it are the adrenals.
So I have adrenal fatigue too.
Which antibodies please ? TPO ?
@@jajarounette95 Yes, TPO.
@Arrasel how long did it take fir the antibodies to drop? And did you start getting back to normal eating? Thanks
@@Khessous-v8i I started diet and selenium in April and in October the anti-tpo were 396.
Now there are around 100.
I still eat Paleo. If I would go back to gluten, sugar etc the antibodies would raise again because they are high when you have inflammation in the body.
So lower inflammation = lower antibodies
Doctor Berg is like a Superhuman ....

Yea I take levothyroxine as well everyday. And I still feel tired. I take iron vitamins too. I need to know how to deal with the primary problem. Also now I’m pregnant and I don’t want it to be worse after my pregnancy
Goodmorning !! I instantly clicked this video when it popped up lol . PLEASE talk about having a Goiter ( No Hypo , No Hyper , I don’t even have any autoimmune diseases to cause this ) . I do have leaky gut and SIBO but no Graves’ disease or hashimotos . None of my doctors or holistic doctors know how to get the swelling down 😭
You probably have hypo or hyper and they are just not using the right reference ranges. Also women of different ethnic backgrounds can had a lower optimal range so even if they have a raging thyroid condition it will be misdiagnosed. I think that's my problem too because when I was pregnant I had massive goiter and terrible symptoms and yet my doctor said I have subclinical hypothyroidism. There is nothing subclinical about it if I'm at risk for a miscarriage and my thyroid is clearly visible through my neck.
What diet are you on now 🤔 have you considered going straight carnivore for 30 60 days 🤔 that would clear up leaky gut at a minimum 🤷♀️ but also address sibo. . Good luck my friend 💪 #StayLegendary 💯💖🌈🤸♀️🤸♀️

What is REVERSE TYPE BLOOD WORK? MINE WAS AT 600 OR 800 I don't remember all I do remember is how AWFUL I FELT ALL THE TIME .....😐
Dr Berg, I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with a TSH of 3.08. Obgyn wants to put me on synthyroid which if I understood you correctly is a synthetic version of T4. And if it’s a conversion problem then it probably won’t do much good. I also have biliary dyskinesia and a history of cholestasis in previous pregnancies. This indicates to me that I have a conversion problem from T4 to T3. I did the carnivore diet prior to getting pregnant and it reduced my inflammation greatly. I also believe it helped me get pregnant. Unfortunately, during the first trimester I was so sick all I wanted was carbs and sugar. I’m convinced this is where I’m running into problems and now that I am feeling better going into the second trimester, I’m going back to a Keto diet. I’m also taking Betaine HCL, bile salts, vitamin D3, zinc, and sea kelp. I’m willing to consider the risks and benefits and this seems like my greatest chance in controlling the situation 🙏🏼

My doctor does the same cheap blood test and tell me it's normal however I have all the symptoms of hypothyroid I have felt horrible for over ten years also I don't have a gall bladder and my doctor does not listen I just want to feel better!!
Please search online for other tests. TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and TPOab you can ask your doctor for this. If he refuses, change doctor. Sometimes they give you this paper, where they fill a check mark on which tests to do, I once took mine and checked in for things I wanted myself, and I delivered it to the lab. Just check it with pen yourself. And at doctors ask the doctor to print out results for you, I walways do that, You are allowed to get your own results
Dr Berg can you just come up with a test kit for us? Then do a follow up call? Maybe something to consider in future
So just please tell me how to correct it, and what to take to suppress the antibodies? Selenium and zinc, vitamin D3 kelp and purified bile salts? for hashimotos?
Thank you so much for this valuable information!! (Btw, listening to this video at 1.25x speed helps me hear you more like you usually sound.)
Hi Dr. Berg. I’m hyperthyroid and watched your when not to take extra vitamin D video where it states not to take vitamin D if hyperthyroid but this video states to take it at high levels if hyperthyroid. Which is correct?
he said don't take too much of vitamin B... also check your blood test for vitamin D levels and then take a all too much of any VItamin can be bad

Thanks Dr. Berg very nice. This what I love about your videos. To the point no extra nonsense & almost all the points are covered. Thank you so much for your help to us. Take care.
I have hypo but no mention of hashimoto from the doc. Is that a separate test? I am on levo but would like a non synthetic alternative. Thanks for your great videos
Have you heard of natural decicated thyroid hormones. Maybe try that. To learn if you have hashimoto's you gotta get a TPO test. There are 2 types of thyroid antibody tests. I cant remember the other one. You should do those.
I take a otc glandular and it saves me.
Next trip to your Endocrine doctor, ask if you have it.
Levo made me a mess. I order from a place called thyrovanz. They have natural Glandular stuff that works really well and I have a dead thyroid. It has t3/t4 in it's natural form, not synthetic which the body doesn't know what to do with. MOST endocrinologist don't want you on that stuff, I've seen two and they don't like non drug solutions. So stay away from the endocrinologist 🤣🤣🤣. Anyhow, thyrovanz has different doses so you can find one that works best for you
Yes it is.
How do you know if you are either HYPO or HYPER? I have ridges in my fingernails and I remember couple months ago seeing one of your videos stating that nail ridges are an indication of thyroid issues
Do your tsh blood test...
Thank you, thank you, you are the best. Thanks to you I am still alive
It looks like someone turned off the treble on the mic settings. Still adjusting to this settings but great info as usual!
Pregnant and scared af now. My mom developed hashimoto’s after pregnancy, without knowing. I think I will stay close to DIM after delivery and breastfeeding. To prevent this from happening.
Same thing happened to me. But I had a really good doctor at that time who did additional blood work and found out I had underlying injection for years. Those kinds of things will cause autoimmune and keto keeps it under control. Gluten and loads of sugar will cause flare-ups like a freaking internal volcano. So if you at least stay away from gluten you shouldn't have too many problems
Thank You so much Dr.Eric ..this has been a great help
You're welcome! Glad you find it helpful!
Dam im not feeling good...and watching you Dr Gerg ..thinking that i just love you for what you do for us. So thankful

Very glad to be of help.
Hey my life
Please make video about CBD oil! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@Drberg cool, as I think I am allergic to it.
@@Drberg Please do. Very interested too!
What about Graves Disease in children. Any knowledge in that area?
Thank you so much . I'm tring to help my mom who recently went off 40 yrs on lavothyroxine and. Now on Armour this his her 1st month. Tomorrow blood test. I really hope she won't have to go back on the chemical rather then maybe if there some thing more reasonable then Armour. God bless
Young females in New Zealand were getting a lot of thyroid goitres and so iodised salt was added to all bread.
Dr.Berg, is there anything you recommend for me if I had my Gallbladder removed?
He has videos on that my friend, go and type gallbladder and doctor berg in UA-cam search, it will pull up every videos on the subject. His team, when posting videos uses hashtags #️⃣ so searching made easy peezy 🤷♀️ #StayLegendary my UA-cam friend 💯 😄 💖💪🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
He did a video on that couple months ago. He recommended bio salts👍😊
Do this ASAP, as you start losing nutrients from the moment your organ is taken. Your health depends on this. I went 10 yrs without knowing and it is harder to fix than to prevent. I still have health issues, because of the stupidity of the rockefeller’s taught doctors keeping you unhealthy and sick, I was never taught or told the importance of bile in the “whole” body function of health. Don’t wait start now, please.
You can take purified bile salts.
Thank you.
I was put on levothyroxine and never really saw much of a difference at all and how I felt. After listening to you say it is secondary to something else. They never mentioned anything about fatty liver or all of the other possibilities. Should I ask for testing of my gallbladder, etc., to make sure there is not something else going on
Drberg, what is the best I do if I have gallstones and hyperthyroidism? I'm not sure about the bile salt
Can you please do a video on what to expect when IF and hypothyroidism while taking medications like Levothyroxine.
I second that @Dr. Erick berg
Great episode worth watching few times before we can grasp the hippo and hyena conditions and differentiate them
Can you do a video on endometriosis?

@@Drberg Dr Berg are you located in Virginia or the DMV area.
What about someone who has TSH? What do yiu recommend?
Please explain what the "normal ranges' are for free T-4/T-3. What if the THS is very high,
but the free T4/T3's are in the normal range?
Also, could pharaceuticals trigger Hashimoto's in a man? If not, then what?
i am going to watch this several more times.
I have vitiligo, hashimotos, and high cholesterol levels . Will supplements like bit D , spirulina, Chlorella , and a diet high in vegetables help? Your advice is really appreciated. Thanks
Try Actalin.
DR Berg if gallbladder remove after gallstone surgery still need bile salts please reply thanks
I myself do have hypothyroidism. When I found out, two of my sisters were already diagnosed with it also for a couple of years.
I won't take the Synthroid and did it the natural way.
I bought sea kelp at first but noticed that I was holding fluid so I switched to iodine, I take 200 of selenium and I also take vitamin B1 and I was also taking zinc, didn't take zinc 100% of the time because it would cause a awful up set stomach. My Dr didn't say a word and I did this for 3 months and everything was back to normal. I even think my range was 2.25 or something like that.
Then I wasn't able to get the iodine that I was taking and I didn't know to much about the differences in them so I bought the one from Alex Jones. Big mistake. After taking everything that I was taking before except honestly even a little less zinc my levels shy rocketed over 5. But I knew something wasn't right. I was tired, and not just a regular tired but the tired of you don't lay down you are going to fall down tired. Only thing that I changed was iodine I was taking and a little less zinc. So I tried to find an iodine that was as close as the first iodine I had found and had been taking for months to almost a year and need to go get my blood work again. I'm to add zinc back into taking it every day also starting now and see if that helps bring it down where it should be.
I also have digestive issues. I'm over weight but have been since I can remember but now the weight is different. I hold a lot of weight in my mid section. The Dr's try to say I have gallbladder problems but I don't have gallstones or sludge, they said they believe that it isnt working like it should and I should have a hydascan done and I probably will have to have it removed. I have been to a few different Dr's that deal with the gallbladder and none of them gave the same answer of what is going on with me. I have had this bloating and pain in my mid spine since 2014,, and unfortunately has only gotten worse to where I ended up in the er and they kept me not because of my gallbladder but because of having illeus. I don't think I spelt that right but it is where your intestines quit working and get blocked and if the Dr's can't get them moving again then they would have to do surgery to remove the parts of intestines that quit working.
Thankfully with my prayers to God I was able to leave a couple of days later but to be honest I still think I still have that problem still today. The burning pain now is not only in my mid back but also radiates in my right rib cage.
I do believe I did something to my back one evening around Halloween in 2014 because I was trying to carry everything into my dad's instead of making multiple trips. But I felt something let loose and the pain was unbearable.
I tell Dr's this but they never want to listen. I believe I have a pinched nerve or something that is causing this burning pain and now it goes into my rib cage and I believe what ever is pinched is causing a part of my intestinal track not to work. I take 3000 MG of magnesium to even be able to go to the bathroom because my mag levels are so love even taking that much of magnesium. But if I don't take it not only does my bloating and distention get worse but the pain is so pad from the bloating and distention that I would end up in the hospital.
I know this is long and I doubt if Dr burg would even see it or respond to me. I know this because I have tried many times.
I hate going to Reg Dr's because they don't want to listen. They just want to jump to gallbladder but I don't think it is my gallbladder. I have no pain what so ever in my stomach anywhere. You could push where the gallbladder is is and no pain not even when I was in the ER, my stomach didn't hurt at all. At that time all the pain was in my mid to lower back and it felt as if someone had a air compressor hooked to my stomach and they just kept putting air in me and I could actually feel my skin stretching and it felt as if I was going to split apart but not once did I have any pain in my stomach. Not where the gallbladder, liver, pancreas or anything for that matter had pain.
Only in my mid to lower back. It could have been my intestines but I know I never want to feel like that again.
I just pray Dr burg reads this and tries to help me. I am so tired of not being able to live a normal life that it's getting to the point of why live at all.
I can't even eat like a normal person but still gain weight.
Most of the time I look 12 months pregnant but I can never enjoy my food. But one thing that I think is helping me just a tad is I found prebiotics, I take them with probiotics and actually found a gummy that is both pre/probiotics and the one good thing is that my magnesium has been in the low range of normal for the first time in 10 yrs. So it has to be helping in some way.
Thank you to who ever made it through my short novel.
Also let me know if taking the bile salt of Dr burgs has helped you or if you have taken a different kind of bile salts that has helped you.
Thank you so much, God bless 🙏😇🙏
why don't you take thyroid meds? maybe they're gonna fix the issue.
Also is it possible gluten is causing all these symptoms?
@@rses916 to be honest both of my sisters take it and it hasn't helped them. As Dr burg said taking it don't actually help the problem because it don't help convert.
I just ate and took my zinc but there is no way of taking it on an empty stomach. 🤮
I am always bloated. Let say that I eat a meal and not a meal that most people can eat, well even if I drink water to take my vitamins that I was taking after eating it would make my bloating even worse to the point of having to take something for pain and lay down because I felt so bad.
I also thought it could be gluten but I don't think so. Over the last week I have been trying to eat eggs and sausage or with bacon and 2 pieces of toast and a half cup of pineapple in its own juice to help digest the food.
But that one meal will last me all day long. I won't be hungry till maybe 12 hours or longer but it's not a hunger like moat people would get so I eat something small because if I were to eat another meal I would pay for it dearly. I have had stomach emptying test and other than the first hour of my food digest a little quickly it was normal I've had ultrasounds, I've had for you drink the white chalky stuff and they take X-rays and then they pushed on my stomach with this big ball with the X-ray machine and they want to know if that hurt and I told him no but it was hurting my lower back because I have herniated disc at L4, L5 and S1.
So the only thing that has seemed to help just a little bit is taking the pre/probiotics. I can actually hear my stomach make noises where as before it made none.
I still believe I have illeus and parts of my intestines are partially not working or maybe they're narrowed which is not allowing the food to move through am I go to the bathroom all I get is earthworm size stool but most of the time it's in like little inch segments but no doctor want to listen to me about that they said it was normal so I give up on Western medicine. Have to figure things out for my self.
Just going to start to take the zinc and see if it helps with they thyroid and hope it gives me some energy. I even took a 5 hour energy drink this morning and I could actually go to sleep.
So tired of feeling this way.
I do agree with the stress part.
I believe that stress is the number one killer and the number one cause of so many diseases.
And unfortunately STRESS is the number one in my life and has been for several years and then some.
Thank you for messaging me, I truly appreciate it.
God bless 🙏😇🙏
Try Keto and fasting - fixes everything...
@@kimsikorski5691 Have you got your iodine tested?
@@kimsikorski5691 Sorry for everything your going through,I can totally relate ,How are you feeling now a days
Again ! Dr Eric - Thank You for this video. I am certain I am hypo - I have no access to Bile Salts (live in a rubbish country!) So I thank you again for your information and advice which allows me to do the 'best I can' with limited resources... Stay Safe...
Wonderful!
I am recently feeling that my neck swells up all of a sudden, makes my face look puffy and neck skin sags. Then I take centrum and the swelling kinda disappears for some time. I don’t want to go to a doctor because I usually cure myself with supplements. I try not to take medicines for anything.
How much zinc per day is recommended for hypo? How much bile salts? Thanks. I know you say 200mcg of selenium and 10,000 ius - 20,000 ius of vitamin D3 per day in previous videos. Thanks.
Thank you, blessings..
Imagine a conversation with Eric berg, paul saladino, and ellie russ.
Dr. Berg thank you for the very helpful videos, i have a question is there any Bloodtest for Iodine? and how can we know if hypothyroidism ist due to iodine deficiency or too much iodine? thank you very much and cant wait for answer :)
See dr Berg's video on iodine and how to do home iodine test. Depending where you live - in States you can probably take blood test for it, but there are also some urine tests for iodine you can buy and do by yourself. In my country there are no blood or urine tests available and I can't afford to import it from USA, so I just use iodine water test for aquariums - looks like it works pretty well.
@@lenasterk2727 thank you :)
My doc didn’t know what free T3 was when I requested the test. 🤬
We are smarter than them and they do not like that.
Dang. My doc ordered all these tests off the bat.
Get a new doctor.
My doctor refuses to check anything but t4 in my blood work its infuriating. She say the others (tsh, t3, antibodies etc)dont matter!!!! Lol
And you say it does matter...take the wheel, you pay them ! Or fire her...
I heard there was a connection between gluten and having a low thyroid. I've been taking some of the supplements you mentioned and also doing gluten free. I'll report back when I have blood work in the spring of 2023.
Any updates?
@@amandamonae3 , no, not yet. I need to find an endocrinologist.
