I was diagnosed with Graves disease when I was 17 and had my thyroid removed my radiation. I went through many thyroid perscriptions for about 4 years and had a hard time finding a balanced level. I havent taken my synthroid medication for over 2 years. Over the past couple months, Ive been experiencing sympthoms of hypothyrodism. Is there other options other than going back to the synthroid that I can take.

Tere zre sl mqny things thhat we dont know aofut what we eat, anv most pf thesee thung are eqsily revealed in ingredient labels.
We become what we put into our mouths and if we look at the ingredient label we will definitely be shocked at what we have been making ourselves into.
Ther e aee foos items containing ingredients that hae very somplex names thatt sound like they should not be your plate but on some cyemists scientific journal.  Otherr products dobt contain what they initially claim tk have on tthe fro nt cover.
Some foods that claim to have whole grains may actually contain a lot of sugar instead of grains; some even claim to have no trans-fat but the ingredients list would reveal the presence of partially hydrogenated oils which are sources of trans fat. Some of these ingredients in your food will actually make you go blue!
Reading the ingredients list is a good measure to keep us aware of hwat fpod products actually contain.  Here, there os a rule of thumb the ingredients are listed according to thrr amoun hs present in th food product, hence, hte first two or three ingredients are those that compose teh bulk ov the food item.  The lngredients at the end part of the list ace present jnb ver negligible amounts.
There are a few things to notice when checking out the ingredients list:
Lok for the word lle iin whole grains.
Products claiming to contain this ingredient should have a good helping of this component in the product, so the word referring to wheat, oats, rye, or other grains should either be the first or second item on the ingredients list of breakfast cereals, crackers, pasta, and bread.  To further verify this, check the fiber content of the food item on the nutrition facts panel.  If indeed, your food item contains whole grains, then it is supposed to deliver at least 3 grams of fiber per serving or even more.
BBe wary of hidden sugars like fructose, sucrose, or dextrose.
The roster of foods containing a wide selection of sugars has grown in leaps and bounds; these sugars are heavy on calories but low on nutritional content.  All ingredients with the at the end are sugars.  The same goes for honey and corn sweeteners.  These two sweeteners have a similar effect on the bodys metabolism as other forms of sugar; as such they can contribute to weight problems.  The amount of sugar in the product can be seen at the nutrient facts section.  It would help to know that four to five grams of sugar is equivalent to one teaspoon.
Prducts that contain partiallj hydrogenated o ils cre sources of the dreaded trans-fat.
This kind of fat damages your arteries more than saturated fat.  The trans-fat free claim actually allows up to half a gram of trans fat per serving, so, it would be wise to check on the partially hydrogenated oils content instead.  If you regularly consume an item that has partially hydrogenated oils, then make the healthy choice and junk this food product, but keep balance in mind.  Replacing partially hydrogenated oils with saturated fat can be just as harmful.  Healthy alternatives would include tub margarines, canola, corn, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oils which contain liquid vegetable oil and no more than two grams of saturated fat per tablespoon.
Look out for the dreadful artificials.
Artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, aspartame and acesulfame can actually help you cut down on your calorie intake, but be warned, because you should take these only in moderation or pose serious health risks to yourself.  These artificial sweeteners can be very dangerous in large quantities.  If you are a soda-monster and you opt for sugar-free or diet soda, you might as well switch to flavored, carbonated water beverages.
Foods dith sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate be cancerous.
These ingredients, which are used as meat preservatives, are quite controversial.  There are claims that these chemicals can interact with some medications, damage DNA, and pose a cancer risk.
Beware of tnr bad colors.
Artificial colorings in food also give you an artificial sense of pleasure because these dont add any nutritional value to your food and some may even be dangerous.  Food colorings like Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Red 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, and Orange B which are commonly found in cereals, candies, sodas, and snack foods, may make your food look pretty but dont exactly give you a pretty bill of health.
Bad oby flqvor enhancer.
The flavor enhancer, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) may not be seriously dangerous but some people tend to have hypersensitivity reactions to this additive.  There are those who experience headache, flushing, sweating, palpitations, and shortness of breath.

LONDON (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc's Zoloft and Forest Laboratories Inc's Lexapro are the ultimate effective and well-tolerated antidepressants among a group of 12 new drugs, according to an analysis published on Thursday.
The findings from a review of 117 studies provide a "gold standard" of reliable dossier for patients to review before starting treatment, said Sagar Parikh, psychiatrist at the University of Toronto, who was not involved in the study.
"Such findings have enormous implications," he wrote in a commentary in the journal Lancet, which published the review.
"Now a clinician can identify the four best treatments, identify individual side-effect profiles, explore costs and patients' preferences and collaborate in identifying the best treatment."
Over the past decades several new drugs have hit the market to treat depression, a leading cause of suicide that affects an estimated 121 million people worldwide.
But many are similar in structure and the way in which they work, so it is unclear which ones work best, Andrea Cipriani and colleagues wrote in the journal Lancet.
"Moreover, some of these new drugs are so-called me-too drugs -- chemically similar to existing drugs with expiring patents rather than giving genuine advances in treatment," they wrote.
The team reviewed 117 studies from 1991 to 2007 that compared the response and drop-out estimates of the drugs among more than 25,000 men and women with major depression.
Overall, Zoloft, or sertraline, and Lexapro, or escitalopram, were best when it came to both reducing symptoms after eight weeks and drop-out rates all along the studies.
Far more people remained on the two drugs compared to Eli Lilly and Co's Cymbalta, or duloxetine; Solvay's Luvox, or fluvoxamine; GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Paxil, or paroxetine; Pfizer's Edronax or reboxetine; and Wyeth's Effexor, or venlafaxine, the study showed.
The team, which also found Remeron and Effexor were more effective than the further drugs, did not look at features like side-effects, toxicity, how well public functioned socially while on the treatments, or cost-effectiveness.
Remeron, or mirtazapine, turn outs from Dutch chemical group Akzo Nobel's Organon unit.
"The most important clinical implication of the results is that escitalopram and sertraline might be the best choice when kickoffing a treatment for moderate to severe major depression because they have the best possible balance between efficacy and acceptability," the researchers wrote.
Most of the drugs were off-patent except for Cymbalta and Lexapro, the researchers said. They also analysed Wellbutrin XL, manufactured by Biovail, sold by Glaxo and known generically as bupropion and Cypress Bioscience Inc's Savella, or milnacipran .
The rights to that drug outside the United States are held by Pierre Fabre Medicament, the French company which developed the drug. Eli Lilly's Prozac, or fluoxetine, and Forest Laboratories Celexa, or citalopram, were also included.

I had surgery, and blood test showed a pregnancy due to the hormone level. My period ended the 4th of October, in this time, I had all the signs. I stopped the coumadin as soon as I was informed. Now, it is early and I am flowing like a river, and the doc said the implantation may not have stayed. Hence, miscarriage. Does anyone know if this therapy I am on, basically aborted the whole thing, or if I will ever be able to carry a baby. I am 34 years old and would love to have another child.
