Treating high RT3 with T3. How much is too much?

Glad it worked out in the end!

I think that TRT docs are starting to see the link bewteen the thyroid and low T (one can mimic the other).

Slightly related, but the no 1 thyroid disorder (afaik) is Hashimotos (autoimmune disorder). I've always suspected that I have this, and now don't eat anything with gluten/dairy.

It's been over a week of this new diet, and it's difficult to describe the changes but it's quite positive. I urge anyone on here that suspects that they have some kind of autoimmune disorder to give it a try for a month and see how they get on.

Yes, eliminating gluten and dairy is supposedly a must for Hashi's. Taking a daily selenium supplement is also highly recommended. I have been able to cut my antibodies in half over a 6 month period, which is good, but I'm hoping to get them down more or maybe even eliminate them.

How much selenium were you/are you taking?
