Iodine in yoghurt...and the possibility of it interfering with correct blood test result.
I am dairy free and I have just had my Thyroxine reduced from 125 mg to 100mg. My question is that the Tesco plant based soya plain yoghurt that I normally would have, now has iodine added. One fifth of a pot, my normal consumption, contains 45.0µg iodine. I am due to have a retest to see if the reduction

MRI with Iodine
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Currently on 10mg and experiencing aches On Wednesday I had MRI with Iodine for contra imaging. All went well, Thursday no pain at all, Friday big pains again, so iodine for me at least was good. Plus I will add I flew to Spain on Thursday. It’s just

Request for assistance in interpreting blood test when GP is satisfied but I am not, and still feel terrible...
Hello, first post here after a couple of months reading. I was diagnosed hypothyroid about twelve years ago and given radioactive iodine treatment (and little alternative - I knew very little then and was scared into it by talk of heart attacks, etc). Since then I have been on levthyroxine. My dosage

help managing palpitations
I have had to stop taking Carbimazole because I am going to have radio active iodine in 7 days. I have been told to ‘manage’ my palpitations by taking propranolol. I had previously stopped taking it because my thyroid levels were down to normal (on Carbimazole) and I had no heart symptoms. But since

To take or not to take...iodine?
I know this is a controversial subject, but would like to know if anyone with Hashimoto´s has taken iodine and noticed any benefits? The doctor who prescribed Erfa for me also prescribed Lugol´s iodine solution (12%). I have chosen not to take it as I have read so many times that it should be avoided

over medicated and breathless
hi, 25 years ago I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, can’t remember results but I was severely underweight,terrible tremors, sweating, resting heart rate was around 140 and had little to no voice.

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this
