Surprising Finds from an Elimination Diet (long)

[tmm99]

Update:

Something must be working, because a recent followup thyroid ultrasound had 3 of 4 small nodules vanish (compared to 6 months ago), and the one remaining is smaller.

I am also down over 15 pounds now for the year.

Having to really dig now for smaller clothes that I have tucked away and haven't worn for years.

I just really hope my thyroid blood work improves after this extraordinary effort. I won't know those results until near the end of this year.

All the other blood work (CBC, lipids, fasting glucose, etc.) - numbers are very good. Won't be prescribed any medications any time soon.

Blood pressure continues under 110/70 most of the time. Sometimes below 100!

I'm still exercising regularly, and taking quite a few supplements.

Great news indeed. I know you were working diligently with your modified diet (which would be almost impossible for me to adhere to) and it sounds like you are getting a huge reward.

Just a quick question, when you say cutting out dairy, what exactly are you cutting out besides the obvious culprits; milk, cheese and eggs ?
