Potassium iodide

History of urinary tract infection I have had this infection for 3 years, Escherichia coli always comes out in the urine culture, except for one time when Proteus came out. For treatment I have used ciprofloxacin, amikacin, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin (but there was resistance to it), Amoxicillin

Have been on 50mcg T3 in single dose for 5 years and felt very well. Around last year in 2023 to early this year 2024, I could not find T3 anymore in Greece and it was getting increasingly difficult to source for them online so I thought I would experiment with weaning T3 and doing Iodine (Lugol's) for

Hi, I wondered if anyone might be able to help. I am relatively new to all of this. I have been diagnosed with Hashitmotos. I apologise for the long post but I thought it might be helpful to give as much detail as possible. I started having symptoms a year ago, it mainly started as gut problems and

hi all, new here! I started having symptoms recently where I have been having hot flushes and hair falling out so I booked a blood test as I thought I was premenopausal. Gp said she will check my thyroid, I did say to her I didn’t think it needed doing as TSH was 1.24 in October 2023 when I was having

I have Hashimoto's and feeling very anxious at the moment as my functional dr told me to take an iodine supplement as my iodine levels were/are low (I am on 1 grain NDT). I didn’t do my research which was silly of me as I usually am very thorough at checking everything before I take it! I have been taking

Iodine - again! My reading of this suggests that, in the general population, we want to see [i]relatively[/i] high selenium levels. And, in particular, we want that state [u][i]before[/i][/u] any increase in iodine levels - whether from diet, iodised salt or other sources. We might find that this state

Is iodine OK to have with hypothyroidism? By which I mean in milk substitutes etc. Thankyou.

Hypothyroidism but no meds because TSH is just under amt required to prescribe for..but has nothing to do with my question above.

I have Hypothyroid and am currently trying to recover from surgery and gain weight. I am unable to find a drink to help aid my recovery what does not contain Iodine. Can anyone help with advice. I wish to avoid soy and gluten also. Thank you.

I had radio active iodine 8 years ago and unfortunately it burnt almost all of my thyroid away as the dose was way too strong for me. 8 years later I am still playing around with the doseage of T4 and T3. I’ve read a few people are on just T3 which maybe I should try. right now I’m on a morning dose

Hi all, I have had a multinodular goitre for years and its is now 9cm and affecting me quite a lot with head and neck pain, compressing windpipe etc and growing down - and I'm facing an operation in a couple of weeks as they say I must have it out as so large.

Any idea why when taking any dose of iodine along with protocol it send my tpo rising. Trying to figure this for some time now. Lots of people with hashimotos take iodine with no problem.

Hi I’m hypothyroid following Graves’ disease then radio iodine about 20 years ago. Was stable on 125 levo until I got Covid and have had long covid - debilitating fatigue - for a year now. I thought it was thyroid related. Following advice on this forum - thank you - I got blood tests and results

I understand that there is such controversy on taking external iodine. Yet, levothyroxine has lots of iodine from what I have gathered from other posts (and as I recently found out it is also composed of/from the amino acid [i]tyrosine[/i]). And, occasionally, I have come across people with

Hi all. I wanted to ask advice as I know that my GP will just suggest a regular blood test to see if the supplements are affecting my thyroxine. I hope you don’t mind taking some time to check if these ingredients are ok with my thyroid meds. I have uploaded pics. I guess it’s the iodine in my perimenopausal
