Its about the finest cellulose available for a script filler. I have an extremely hard time with cellulose of any form.

Some compounds are made with acidophillus - ginger - or even olive oil - in case you feel one of those fillers would work better. Not all compound rx's are available with other fillers either - you have to locate a pharmacist that uses these.

Trade name for microcrystalline cellulose that has been partially hydrolysed with acid, and reduced to a fine powder, used as a fat replacer. It disperses in water and has the properties of a gum. It is used in oily foods such as cheese and peanut butter, as well as in syrups and honey, sauces, and dressings.

Maybe you are Lactose intolerant as another type of sugar is Lactose but they have that in the T4 med too and I'm fine with it.

got other test back .cbc,  Rheumatoid ,all blood test , infection, Lyme disease were neg, (normal) tsh is up to 0.71 now from 0.29,   3 weeks ago. gp thinks its possible the side effects from being hyper wants re-check with endo in a few weeks  or referral to rheumiest. but everything looked good. they think it's adjusting to thyroid meds.
