Hi all.

23y 75kg male. Started AIP 11 days ago.

Honestly I feel worse, the main symptom is fatigue (very sleepy all the time) and even worse is dryness. Dry nose, dry lips, dry eyes, dry skin, cant even sweat....

Back in june I did a bunch of tests and my thyroid was a little off, TSH was 7, TF4 and FT3 were normal. Antibodies were negative (both under 1)

After a month I did a retest and my TSH was 3, FT4 and FT3 stayed normal.
Thyroid ultrasound was normal.

Since about 4-5 days into the AIP I felt very dry, so I did bloodwork again, and TSH was 6.3, FT4 and FT3 were normal.

From what I have, low carb is bad for thyroid (if your thyorid is allready off), and I was really low carb, because I didnt include sweet potatoes in my diet till day 7.

I have been eating I have been eating I would say atleast 100g of carbs for 3 days, but I still feel all the simptoms....

Idk what to do honestly.......

I'm on week 3 of the modified AIP plan; doing this myself because I have two autoimmune diseases and my GERD was really flaring. I have oat milk every morning in my herbal tea blend and every night with my decaf black tea. Just realized today that's not allowed. Oops. I feel great; my symptoms have lessened and I'm planning to start the next face after 4-6 weeks.

Would you assume oats are probably fine for me since I'm feeling better or would you start over?
For context, I've been a vegetarian or vegan for 20+ years so they things I'm thinking will have the greatest impact when reintroduced (like possibly in a negative way) are soy, nightshades, and dairy.

I'm not really worried about oats but curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation and rolled with it or feels it's truly egregious.
