Still doing the Whole 30---on doc's orders. My BP has dropped slightly in the past 2 weeks.
Got all my labs back, and found that my thyroid is perfectly fine, but my iron level was dangerously low. And, that would account for my low-energy feeling much of the time. Omega 3's were in the same category of being extremely low, and one of my LFTs was through the roof. SO....taking the NOW Iron Complex, 3000mg of Omega 3's, and Milk Thistle, along with a glass of water with lemon first thing in the am. Supposed to stay on the Whole 30 through January when I get my labs redone. I did end up having a bit of bleu cheese on a salad at Culver's this past Tuesday. I got most of it scraped off to the side, but some stuck to the lettuce. Ended up with that darn swelling and itch in my throat for the next 48 hours. Since that was the only thing I ate that was verboten- as far as I can figure- that whole dairy thing might be the culprit. Time will tell.
But, I am feeling much better with the iron increase, and am still keeping carbs to a minimum- as best I can without starving. An occasional piece of fruit or half of a sweet potatoe now and then is about my limit. Hope you all are doing great! Have a blessed weekend!
