I'm brand spabking new to Pete so bear with me
I am trying to undue a mess I mostly brought on...,
Pretty fit and active mom of 4. Have hashis (20 years) controlled with diet, exercise and Levo. Always seem to keep anxiety at bay but grew up with a violent father and anxious mother. So feel it's a life long battle.
Went Keto in spring and stopped in July (2016) due to insomnia. Added in carbs and got diarrhea. I now know it was likely due to milk casein and egg intolerances and I was eating lots of.
Saliva cortisol showed high early morning cortisol but not bad dhea ratio.
My thyroid #s have fluctuated so much that I've had to lower my dose 3 x on the past 10 months. (Maybe the cortisol causing this?)
I had considerable stress during Keto (helping my mother through hospice care and taking crisis calls from my father all day and night).
I'm eating zero processed foods, no dairy recently eliminated lectins, no caffeine. Include evoo and coconut oil.
I've only recently started sleeping a few hours a night with the help of Seriphos. I've been breaking open the capsule (put in a tsp of coco oil) to dose smaller as at first the 1000 mg was too much. It can wear off only an hour or two later as I'm instantly awake from beating heart rate. Last night ended up taking an entire capsule when smaller dose didn't help. I got 3 consecutive hours of sleep--joy!
Please make suggestions on what I ought to read as well as consider supplementing. Already using magnesium in all forms, found some considerable gut relief with l- glutamine and am healing leaky gut with diet and hci with pepsin and pancreatic enzymes.
A million thank you's
