@Jennifer yes that includes egg shell :) actually I'd rather purified powdered CaCO3 from limestone than from ground up eggshells because I'm lazy / don't have a grinder / paranoid about not sterilizing the shells properly. But for both, I was a bit worried about contamination with heavy metals. I managed to get the certificate of analysis from heiltropfen and it looks pretty good - but as we know, even 1 ppm of heavy metals could potentially cause problems over time with enough use.
I don't think I was intolerant to dairy as a child, but hard to know for sure. I only actually noticed a serious intolerance when I tried to do a "raw milk diet" for a while - caused severe constipation very quickly... I wouldn't have guessed that it was a true allergy - just inability to digest it for some reason. Now, if I drink more than about 2 cups of milk in a day, it pretty badly upsets my digestion (no stomach pain, just that the proteins are not digested at all).
Yes, only been using thyroid for 3 months. Never before.
I definitely am suspecting some sort of under (udder?) the radar infection - but not confident enough to take the dive into antibiotics. I have tried carrot salads for some time with no changes, although I have heard that mushrooms are better for reducing endotoxin etc... I haven't used them consistently enough to notice. Could try flower of sulphur...
