Hi, any advice on what I should be eating to support myself with my under active thyroid?

Hi susiedc

Welcome to the Healthy eating forum. There is another forum that might be more specific to your query - which is the Thyroid UK forum, and a link is here if you want to have a look:

It might be worth posting your query there as well - so that you get the maximum possible replies.

I think onegreenplanet.org/natural-... is possibly a very good resource for you to check out. It includes the advice, "Excess caffeine, processed food, added and refined sugar, alcohol, and unhealthy fats can all cause problems with the thyroid and prevent optimal absorption of thyroid hormones in the body. There is also a great deal of controversy surrounding soy and cruciferous veggies due to their effects on the thyroid. The reason for this is because these foods contain natural goitrogenic properties. Goitrogens are a substance that prevents the use of thyroid hormones in the body. Know that though these foods do contain goitrogens, their effects on thyroid health only pose a negative problem if a great deal of them are eaten consistently on a day to day basis. It’s always best not to consume too much of any food, including these."
