About Me: Female, 77, mandeville , LA, member since May 2008
I feel great my only symptom is a flushing of cheeks. Sometimes very visible ,sometimes internal only. I took the 24hour urine HIAA test was abvove normal however was not told to curtail bananas, tomatoes, salmonl, turkey ,ASA etc... (that is my diet , lots of salmon).
...
[More]before test. Endocrinologist suspected thyroid problems, everything was low normal . On my first visit I had severe hair loss (this has stopped by using Rx Nizoral shampoo.) My testosterone is high. M.D said: "You are great you look much much younger than your age" was discharging me when I reminded him of my uncomfortable flushing , then he ordered urine test. I am not to see him for 3 weeks . I am going to repeat the test and avoid all foods know to increase seratonin . In the mean time, I'd like to know what food I can eat as so many foods increase it. This is an older doctor who seem to work part time , I probably will go to a medical center to get treated should I have carcinoid. Thank you for your advice.
