Question Anyone try coconut oil?

I have been reading where coconut oil is very helpfull for thyroid support so I bought a jar yesterday. I tried 1 tbs at dinner and my temp went up to 98.4 and stayed there till I went to bed.

This morning my waking temp was 96.7. It has been being 96.3. I took another tbs this morning with my coffee and within 15 minutes my temp was up to 97.6. Usually my temp barely gets up to 97 after an hour of cardio.

My TSH test came back 2.8 a few weeks ago. Doc says nothing is wrong and wont do a T3 or T4 but can't explain my low temps.

I bought the Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome book and am currently reading it and it sure sounds like what is going on with me.

I'll keep trying the coconut oil.

Bill
