At the seminar a person asked if his TSH of 6.5 should be treated and the doctor said yes. I don't know how low he will treat. He did say that he treated those with normal thyroid panel but elevated antibodies.

Since he looks beyond the TSH for thyroid disease, I hope I can convince him to look beyond CD for gltuen sensitivity.

Nancy, how often were you taking the T3? He mentioned taking T3 5-7 times a day to keep an even level. Compounding pharmacies can make a sustained release forula of T3. This doctor was concerned about consistency of compounded medications.

Thanks for the great references Leslie.
