Thanks for the replies, I learn more and more about diet,medications,and bewares. I am sure that I feel better on low carb foods. I haven't been on one long enough to see to much change in my medical problems. The bone is going to fast in my lower spine and I am in a lot of pain with it. So a new drug (Celebrex) it caused my colitis to come back after a 5 month remission. I am taking myself off Premarin, on it since I was 27,hysterectomy,to many bad side effects from that and I am past the hot flashes. I am off Amitriptilyne, took it before bed, so to many changes here and I have been really messed up the past week. Sick and a lot of pain, so I haven't been on the low carb for a week. The doctor is still trying to get me on the correct medications for the problems. The thyroid has stayed great from many years and remains good. One possitive note. Today will be a good day, a low-carb day Have a great day everyone. Susan
