Thank you, I have been trying to cut out all of the above but need to be stricter with the bread I think.... I tried Rye bread but I am guessing that is a no no too. If you could recommend some good books that would be brilliant ... thanks again for taking the time out of your evening to help me.

Sorry I was not here to welcome you,

With the extra medical problems, you will have to be careful how you approach this.
Being in control of your blood glucose levels is vital having RH.
Do have a read of our forum, as Brun says, the information is very good.

Thank you, I have already started low carb, low GI from the advice on here and feel better already, but yes will certainly look at the Gluten Free and dairy too - thanks for recommending the additional tests too - I will ask for them to be doneHi andysgirl. I haven't been around much lately but I am hypothyroid and with RH. I also have low vit d which I am addressing. I recommend that you also ask your doc to do a full blood mineral and vitamin profile if you can to check for any deficiencies. Specifically vit d b12 folate and ferritin as all can affect. I am a member of thyroid patient advocacy which is a fab website and will help you whether you are hyper or hypo. I also suggest you seriously consider losing gluten from your diet as it is a major autoimmune trigger. Also dairy might be an issue. Hope this helps gives you some pointers.
I am new to RH and still learning too. Xxx
Maybe a silly question .... I am now getting much better versed after some research re low carb/low GI foods ... however I dont know what to drink. I am OK day to day with mainly water or soda water but what do you all drink for an occassional safe treat? I am at a party on Sat and although I am not particularly bothered about alcohol (although a glass of red would be good); I dont fancy sitting drinking water all night! Any suggestions very welcome - thanksIt has already been said, that if you're not sure to ask questions. Knowledge is important and if we can help, we will do.
The reason is, we have all been where you are now!
Confused and not quite well. With all the problems and symptoms, you need someone to ask the silly questions.
The odd glass of red is supposed to be ok!Maybe a silly question .... I am now getting much better versed after some research re low carb/low GI foods ... however I dont know what to drink.

Fat is the solution. Fill up on fat.Thanks Totto I just got round to watching the video and think I have found my basic error .... I have been eating fruit ... plums, oranges .... emptying my new fruit bow into a bin as we speak!
Thanks KazI struggle a little with this too. At home I tend to stick with water, black coffee, fruit/herbal teas or coffee with cream. When I'm out I'll have the odd Diet Coke but always worry in case they get them mixed up and I end up with full fat Coke!
Alcohol is a tricky one. I too enjoy the occasional small glass of red but I've noticed lately that I feel strange after drinking it. I only ever have it with a meal but I think it spikes my bg a little faster and drops me faster. The only way for you to know how it will affect you is to try it and test.
