The article referred to modified food starch but I didn't find it on the list.

From rxlist.com: Each round, white to off-white Cytomel (liothyronine sodium) tablet contains liothyronine sodium equivalent to liothyronine as follows: 5 mcg debossed KPI and 115; 25 mcg scored and debossed KPI and 116; 50 mcg scored and debossed KPI and 117. Inactive ingredients consist of calcium sulfate, gelatin, starch, stearic acid, sucrose and talc.

How do you know which is the most current? I just inquired about the use of Cytomel and it was pretty much ignored.

Very interesting articles there. So my gluten sensitivity could have contributed to developing hashimotos? Makes me wonder if I had started a GF diet in 2007, could I have avoided this thyroid mess?
