Strangely some of my Yoo Moo frozen yogurts have had a spoon thingy attached to the underside of the lid, only some tho....most didn't

We made a point of checking this whilst in store...much to the dissapointment of my OH who said we shouldnt open them....and can confirm that the cherry chocco ones do not come with a spoon...but we really think they should...it would have saved us 50p on the pink icecream scoop!!!

My daughter has a thyroid problem and various skin ailments. She has had a bad year mentally and has lost a lot of weight. my sister in law is in to natural remedies and recommended coconut oil for eating and skin car, cider vinegar for the same, triphala for digestive problems and also turmeric. My dd has been using all of the above for 3 weeks and the improvement is really noticeable. her skin is glowing, she is not always tired and her ibs is calm. She also has chia seeds in her smoothy and multivitamins every day as she is veggie and her diet is limited.

Good for her! :T I really hope she continues to see an improvement x

Hi Rose , what does your SIL recomend for the thyroid problem please?:D

Sorry to butt in, as you asked Rose, not me, but I just wanted to recommend anyone with thyroid issues taking a look at the Thyroid Patient Advocacy website.

As well as a very informative website they also have a very friendly & helpful forum http://tpauk.com/forum/

I won't bore you with my story, but I was very ill with undiagnosed autoimmune thryoid disease (Hashimotos). This may sound over dramatic but I really feel like I owe my life to the people at Thyroid Patient Advocacy . Not because they directly did anything, but thanks to them I educated myself on the thyroid system and took steps to get the tests and treatment that I needed.

My GP and (later) endocrinologist was very impressed that I had learnt so much about endocrinology.

It wasn't easy, at first all the talk of T4 & T3 thyroid hormones and adrenal glands was like learning a new language... but I am sooooo glad I did learn!

There are many different types of thyroid disease, so what helps one person may not be suitable for another. In fact it could be dangerous.

For me, avoiding all gluten really helped as my disease is auto immune and gluten stimulates the body to produce the Anti-TPO antibodies that are attacking my thyroid. I also make sure all my vitamin and mineral levels (iron ferritin, selenium etc ) are in range as this is very important for the thyroid to function properly.

From what I have read, there is a massive problem in this country with undiagnosed or poorly managed thyroid disease.
If you visit your GP and they suspect you have thyroid issues, they will almost certainly do a "TSH" test ( thyroid - stimulating hormone)however, it is possible to have a perfectly normal result for the TSH test and still have very serious thyroid problems. I know as I did!! I finally saved my pennnies and had test done privately that confirmed I had Hashimotos thyroiditis. These were then repeated and confirmed by an NHS endocrinologist. I dread to think where I would be now if I hadn't educated myself.My heart goes out to anyone struggling with their thyroid as it can really make you feel very very ill.:(

Sorry for the long post! I said I wouldn't go on lol. :rotfl:

well the postie has brought the O2 card which is good as I can now join in the weekly freebie games :j

Except I have not got a clue what to do with it.

OHs old iphone is on the desk - I use it only for OHs Shopotize as his Galaxy is unstable.
This iphone does not have a sim in it as its on OHs Galaxy - on EE.

can I put this )2 sim into the old iphone - I cant even see how you get into the thing.
When I do manage to put it into something what happens next?

I am hoping to have it figured out before OH gets home - he thinks amongst eldest sons stuff in the loft is a new phone and I really don't want OH going into the loft - he will come down complaining about how much stuff it up there and how we need to sort it (ie me on my own with no help even though about 90% of stuff is not mine, aside from Christmas decorations)

If it is tied to EE I can't see the O2 SIM working. Worth a try. You need a straightened paperclip to push into the hole to release the SIM tray.

Me too!

I thought the raw unbleached stuff was better (though it's expensive:eek:) but I guess any coconut fat is better than marg?

On the subject of weight loss. I haven't got on scales in years. I think the numbers will invariably disappoint me so rather than upset myself I'd prefer to just try and eat well most of the time. If you lose enough weight you'll start to see it on your body which is always the best guide IMHO. And I don't agree with going cold turkey. I'm introducing things, phasing other stuff out, seeing what I like to eat that's good for me. Because I don't want this to be short term.

Thank you all for your recommendations of things to try. Very helpful for a noob.

Great attitude EMMAP. I totally agree. :beer:

Thanks for this, it's really interesting for me to read about other people's experiences as I have an under-active thyroid but I don't know anyone else in RL who has thyroid problems. It's interesting also to see that iron ferritin issues are related, as I'm consistently told I have low levels and need to get them back up. I've had blood tests several times over the past 6 years or so, and at first I was told I had an under-active thyroid, then I was told it was back to normal, then I was told it was bad again and I should start on thyroxine. Having done some research, it seems likely that the doctor who told me I was fine was using the old levels of what is 'acceptable', rather than the new guidelines, so I should have been on medication for a lot longer than I have been.

It certainly explained my urge to sleep at every opportunity though, my parents initially just thought I was being a lazy student. It does worry me that I feel like it's down to me to request the blood tests that I need, as I already have to mention every time that I've not been called in for a check-up in months. I'll be popping over to the site this afternoon for a browse, so thanks for that
