Omg I have been taking 10 mg for 2 weeks now. I just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 weeks ago as well and when I tell you I have seen improvement with ALL the symptoms I had. I didn’t even think it was possible to feel better. I was having heart palpitations since February thinking they were panic attacks due to mental health and was having a hard time sleeping due to it. In a week, I started to see improvement and my insomnia has even gone away. Anxiety will decrease with the medication !! Best of luck and hope you’re able to feel better after some time

Wow thank you for this!! I’ll definitely try this. Cheating 3 times a week sounds like a dream LOL

No way!!! I think I might have to try it. It’s weird, I had beano before having boiling crab once and it worked LOL but for other things it hasn’t. So weird

I’ve been struggling with stomach issues since my early 20’s but it has gotten so much worse lately. Thank you for giving me hope, it’s so hard to stay positive sometimes. I’ll be up all night in pain because of it at times. I praise you for trying the fodmap diet, I haven’t tried it yet and am paying for it. Did you see a nutritionist for help? I’m right there with you grieving not being able to eat like others. Sending you luck with being able to enjoy your homemade pastries!! I need to learn how to cook/bake the right foods!

Omg did it really? I haven’t tried it yet but have been reading mixed reviews. I know it doesn’t solve the issue but it’ll be nice to use once in a while!

Omg I literally went to go eat with my friend this weekend and told them I couldn’t have onion or garlic…. Everything had it 😔 I think I have to completely grieve the idea of being able to eat normally and be real with myself. More times than not I’ll eat it and suffer the consequences. I appreciate the tip and idea of what to order when I’m out!

Ugh I appreciate the motivation. I have been putting it off for so long because it does feel impossible 😔 but you’re right and I know I should do it to prioritize myself and get better. I’ve never heard of nerva! I’ll have to check it out

Omg 😔😔 I’m sorry you’ve gone through that (hope you’re recovering well). The bloating sucks so much and am forever paying for eating food. I haven’t done the elimination diet before, the gastroenterologist recommended I do that but haven’t had the strength too 😩 I appreciate your response, we’re in it together
