[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 66881, member: 11875"] Hypothyroid, and Hashimoto's, can both cause weight gain. The specific type of abdominal fat acts like an endocrine organ itself and puts out cytokines which can disable the beta cells in the pancreas, which causes further weight gain. there are a lot of such feedback loops involved in the endocrine system in general and Type 2 in particular which need breaking out of. Sometimes like me you can collect omental fat without any external signs, what Michael Eades calls "metabolic obesity" where you are skinny but have the lipids and BP of a fat person. A singificant minority of us, also Type 1s and nondiabetics, have extra problems with wheat, other than gluten intolerance/celiac [url=http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/wheat-belly-revisited.html]http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/2009/ ... sited.html[/url] We have a familial overreaction to wheat giving BG spikes over and above other grains, even in skinny athletes like one of my cousins. She can get away with rice cakes whereas I have to resort to oatcakes and in much restricted quantities. I may not be much of an original thinker but I do have the ability to collect and collate information, much of it as a result of trying to discover why I am so weird <G> [/QUOTE]
