Val, I could almost promise you that Community Market on Mendocino Avenue in Santa Rosa would have it. They have EVERYTHING! I love that place. Why not give them a call: 707-546-1806. Alternatively, Country Store Health Foods (707-528-2886) is good or even Great Earth Vitamin Stores (707-528-2037).

I'm sure I read that cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauli and cabbage) only need to be avoided for people with underactive Thyroids (not all Thyroid diseases) if they're raw - cooking well destroys their hormonal effects - like destroying the levels of certain vitamins if you overcook them. So in small IBS safe amounts they're not gonna have any effect at all.
There are so many Thyroid diseases, it's hard to say about symptoms - there can be lots of strange effects, my friend has an underactive Thyroid, but those symptoms may not fit your family traits. It can certainly be hereditary, though, so get this checked asap. BTW, did you know that Thyroid diseases can affect your bowels - an underactive Thyroid can make you tired, depressed, constipated, slow your pulse, your body temperature, moody, sluggish and slow everything right down. Overactive Thy can make you sort of the opposite, nervy, irritable, etc. But if you're developing Thyroid disease, you can get all sorts of weird and wonderful symptoms as you sort of swing between the extremes of thyroid activity and then settle into one 'abnormality'. You really need an accurate diagnosis before trying any self-treatments for this.

Wow, thanks! I have a feeling I have hypothyroidism...from all the research done and because that's what my mom has too. I hope to get a diagnosis soon! That would def. explain A LOT...including weight gain and tons of fatigue!
How do you know so much Shells? We're all very impressed with your knowledge...and with your loving heart!

One sympton I noticed almost right away (besides the weight gain)
was a kind of scratchy thoat. Thats very common with hypothyroidism.
I gained 40lbs last year when I went
from hyper to hypo and had no idea what was happening.
I should have known. Now I'm dieting and exercising
to try and lose those pounds. My doctor told me that
as long as I'm Hypo I would not be able to lose no matter
what I did because of my thyroid. I was also hot flashy,
tired, confused, having anxiety attacks, and my doctor
said that depression will set in if you don't get the
thyroid up. He said depression goes hand in hand with hypothyroidism.
It was awful and it took a long time to get regulated, but
now finally I am and I am starting to lose weight.
Strange thing though while I was hypo I could eat
most anything and it didn't bother my IBS. Now that
I'm regulated again I'm having all kinds of problems
with the IBS. I don't understand it.
