That's a really good question that I wish Sher could answer for you. Unfortunately, she passed away recently. Fit Fare will be writing more about this issue soon though, so do check back and check us out. Hi Andi,

I have had hypothyroidism for 16 years. I gained 90lb, before I found a dr to listen & test me. I have lost only 20lb & that was only in the first yr of treatment. When I complain about my weight my dr said I should be happy I lost that 20lb. It is very frustrating!

I am now going to take a low dosage of a thyroid medication. I have heard that certain foods can interfer with the absorption of this medication. My question is, do these same foods have an adverse side-effect when not on the medication? Do they interfere with to benefits to be derived from the good foods? I'd like to think that I won't have to give up my dark green veggies. I was recently told that my TSH levels are at the “high end of normal”, so I guess that means that I have a hypothyroid problem.

I was first diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. I had an extremely high heartrate of 110-115 bpm on a normal day with no activity. I lost over 50 pounds in a 5 month period, became very weak, pale & sick. I also had small heartattacks from the high heartrate. I had a Thyroidectomy on my 18th birthday after having a major heartattack. I am now Hypothyroidism. I keep gaining weight, suffer from depression when my life is going great & I have constant migranes, insomnia & fatigue. I am severly allergic to iodine & I have a calcium defficiency. (I read in an article that iodine helps with thyroid hormones). There are things needed to help the production of thyroid hormone that I can't have. So what do I do?

The more research you do the better, it may be more than your doctor does. A history of Lab results should be reviewed before any lifetime L-med is administered. Prepare for your test, eat well, get rest and mentally eliminate all stress possible several weeks prior to your blood tests. If you get your test not feeling well knowing you have other conditions that may interfere with the results, daaah, it's almost a given your results are going to vary and require an adjustment or treatment. The body is an amazing machine that continually adjusts everthing. Remember we were made from millions of years of research! We are all doctors!

In all the years that I have been taking thyroxine, I have never been told to avoid the vegetables and fruit that I have now discovered I should not eat or should limit. I have struggled with my weight in latter years but have been doing the weightwatchers way of eating for a year and have successfully lost 2 stone in weight. My diet is lots of fruit and veg, some carbs and meat. I feel fine, I am wondering how much of this is really true. I have had hypothyrodism since I was a baby.
