Hi,
I do not have any stomach or gut issues.
Ok, I'll give a concise version of how I got my Thyroid under control. I did my own research from books because at the time The internet unlike now didn't have much info available.
If you stomach is not functioning properly then food is not breaking down effectively thus absorption is extremely poor. Vital minerals,fats, proteins, vitamins cannot be used by the body. Solution is You must keep stomach acid acidic and the good bacteria that breaks the food down in the gut.
Stomach acid = potassium + Sodium + chloride
Healthy Gut Bacterium culture = probiotic
Iodine and Selenium. Now there are two extreme opinions on Iodine. Some doctors say Iodine is absolutely NO. Then there are those who are for Iodine. But hardly anyone of these ever look at the importance of Selenium in thyroid Function! Completely overlook Selenium.
Iodine is an essential trace mineral thyroid Hormone releases T4 which the liver turns to active T3. The 4 and the 3 are Iodine molecules. Selenium is equally important this regulates the Iodine at the Thyroid among many other things like protein synthesis etc.
This is extremely important and I cannot stress this enough!!! Take Selenium with Iodine
BUT DO NOT take Iodine without Selenium.
Vitamin C, You body's own defence is based on the Use of Vitamin C keep Vitamin C levels up!
Vitamin B complex needed at cellular level.
Vitamin D3 is a fat soluble Vitamin. If you are not getting an ample amount then it's disastrous. It will have a domino effect on many funtions in body.
