Question

I've been feeling really thirsty for about a year now, and I'm starting to worry a bit. My dad had diabetes, so I got tested to see if that was the issue, but the blood sugar came back normal. The tests did show that my Vitamin D3 levels are on the low side and my alkaline phosphatase levels are higher than they should be. I'm a 53-year-old guy, and I'm curious about what might be causing these higher alkaline phosphatase levels in my blood. Would you have any ideas?

Can diabetics eat bananas?

Question

I'm dealing with slightly elevated thyroid levels and I'm on Eltroxin 75 mg. I'm working on losing weightI'm going to the gym every day and I've lost a decent amount so far, but now my weight loss has stalled. Someone suggested I try creatine to boost my weightlifting and help burn more fat. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's safe with my thyroid situation. I also drink a lot of water, about 67 liters daily, in case that matters. Do you think creatine would be okay for me to use?
