I have been on the diet for two months. I was doing really well and feeling much healthier. i went on it because i had low energy due to Hashimotos (low thyroxine) and terrible indigestion every day for years. 6 weeks on the diet and i felt better and the indigestion finally went completely when i removed raw nightshades. I was enjoying ferments in my diet and had successfully reintroduced cheese, yoghurt and milk in small quantities. Then i had a very stressful experience which stressed my tummy and i couldn’t eat much for a couple of days. this then triggered an IBS attack for the first time in my life. I have a really gassy painful tummy which makes it difficult to eat and so I am barely eating anything. I have lost 10lbs in two weeks. I am also having reflux at night. From researching I think my stomach has become low in acid which is often a problem with low thyroxine. I am taking cider vinegar before meals. To help get it right i am going to use some HCL and digestive enzymes tablets. Has anyone any ideas? If I cannot resolve it in the next few days i will go to see my doctor.
