[QUOTE="jdthoosier, post: 274062, member: 14623"] Well that is interesting. There may be a bigger picture here. The whole TRT odyssey began when I started having digesting issues and lost nearly 30 pounds in a very short period of time. I was struggling to eat and sustain weight. After months of inconclusive tests, I was sent to a dietician who specialized in weight/eating issues. Her conclusion was that I had gluten intolerance or celiac. So I was started on a GF diet. At the same time, a NP had the idea to test a number of things - including my hormone levels because I was clearly deteriorating mentally and physically. They found that my total TRT was dirt low - in the low 100's. So she started me on gels. The conclusion was that the sudden weight loss and inability to obtain adequate nutrition was the root cause of the low T. It took probably 2 years but eventually I found Defy, dumped the gels and started injections and eventually got dialed in and felt great. About this time, my digestive system also started to return to some normal. I still adhere to a GF diet and do not cheat. I think the big benefit is that it forced me to consistently eat clean, as the dietician preached avoiding GF products and focusing on whole foods. So I feel like all this was tied together in some way. [/QUOTE]
