Went over my complete blood count test w/ thyroid with my doc at the Wellness Way clinic. Severely anemic, gut inflammation that makes it “next to
impossible to lose weight, CRP is way too high, thyroid is starting to be attacked by own body, etc. etc. I don’t care what healthy choices your are making. Blood doesn’t lie. Get it tested.

is it hashimotos??
I totally agree with you! get it tested!
boswellia extract and reservatrol supplements are powerful for lowering inflammation.
Selenium is powerful for thyroid, or eating Brazil nuts daily if you like them.
i have osteoarthritis in my knee (probably knees, my right is having symptoms too) and i have to take thyroid medicine this pregnancy, hoping i dont have to continue it past-pregnancy! My CRP was high also, right around my arthritis diagnosis. i dont know why my inflammation markers are now but after extensive research and talking with doctors, these changes helped my pain and my results quite a bit! i hope you discover what works for you! hope my lil testimony helped in any way.

He said there’s lots to deal with but right now the anemia is severe and my immune system is sick. So we have to focus on those. Well the gut inflammation too. I’ll be heavy on supplements and foods that can help me absorb iron as well as heal my gut. So I’m not quite as worried about the scale for sure. Just healing the inside.

Yep, one of the supplements ordered is bioactive selenium. You were right on. Glad to hear you are feeling better. I bet yours would look better now if tested? The CRP was greatly concerning to me.

Yes! For this i recommend getting oranges/mandarins. Eat 1 with every meal/every iron rich meal. Vit C helps absorb iron. Dont drink coffee with meals as the phytates prevent iron absorbtion also, along with drinking coffee 4 hrs before/after coffee. So, iron supplements could be taken at night instead. I have anemia also, Beta Thalassemia minor, as im greek and Italian. I usually cant take iron supplements cuz my body just doesn't use it. This pregnancy, blood tests my blood cells were way too small and hemoglobin was way too low, even for beta Thalassemia minor standards. I take iron supplements every other day.

Try baobab too! A superfood with tons of vitamin C and some iron.

Very light taste. I guess a little citrusy? I personally make it my mission to “force” all pregnant Mommys to buy it. LOL! It took my morning sickness away during my 7th and final pregnancy. The other babies, I was soooooo sick.
