Iodine in pregnancy supplement
Hi All I am trying for a baby and I have been told to take folic acid amongst a few other vitamins. I have found a pregnancy vitamin supplement however it has 150mcg of Iodine in it. I understand Iodine is not good for those with hypothyroidism and we do not need it BUT my future baby will rely on

EBRT - sunbathing, water intake, iodine, kids
Hello, I'm 70 years old and I've just started EBRT to prostate and seminal vesicles and have some questions: 1.) Is it safe to be sunbathing to parts that are not being irradiated? 2.) I know that I should drink a lot of water. Approximately how much water should I drink daily? I'm 5.7 ft (1.74 m)

T3-only/ iodine levels
Can someone please explain the impact that taking T3-only medication might have on iodine levels given that deiodination is no longer involved in T4 to T3 conversion? Thank you!

Starting donor egg treatment
So after a long and difficult journey we are now starting with donor eggs with a Spanish clinic. From my blood results (TSH) I have been advised to take an over the counter iodine supplement - does anyone have any recommendations of which brand and what strength? I have asked them if a brand I found

Advice on my non-existent TSH Please
I had radio iodine treatment 5 years ago after having Graves. I am on 75 and 100 Levothyroxine on alternate days (a low dose I know). I was given additional T3 med lythothyronine 18 months ago, 5 mg twice daily which improved my quality of life no end. My thyroid levels have been fairly steady over

Daily multivitamins do not help people live longer, major study finds
The taking of general multivitamins has long been questioned here on this forum. The article specifically identifies iron: [i]Meanwhile iron, which is added to many multivitamins, can lead to iron overload and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia.[/i] I think we'd also advocate

anemia but digestive issues (diarrhea)/multivitamins
Good evening everyone, I´m writing on behalf of my sister who is lactating now on her second year and has been suffering from diarrhea for the last two months.

recently diagnosed with overactive thyroid
hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

sea moss
hi, does anyone know anything about sea moss supplements. I’ve heard really good things, but it has iodine in, so I’m not sure if I can try it with hashimotos.

Use of iodine in CT and PET scans
I am aware of the danger of taking iodine supplements and their possible effect on the thyroid. Does it follow that investigations requiring intravenous iodine as in some CT and PET scans pose a risk to people with Hashimotos? My rheumatologist is suggesting I have some such investigations and it is

11yo latest results
Hello All, Here are my daughters latest results, I’m still battling with GP plus NHS consultants to get anywhere. She has only been off any B12/folate for 5 weeks (she does eat B12 fortified foods) but has been taking iron. Her medical history is low platelets but she obviously also has hashimotos.

Safe to Take Iodine?
Hi all, I've had thyroid tests which all came back as normal except I had what appears to be elevated FT4 levels, 3 endocrinologists have reassured me that I do not have hyperthyroidism. They emphasized the importance of considering all test results together. I'm underweight, struggling to gain weight

BTF RAI Study
This study sponsored by the BTF looks like it will ve very useful https://www.btf-thyroid.org/news/2023-btf-research-award-winner?fbclid=iwar3enrjb1xoxe5l10tf2ap64qbpav6pchgch4nlafezvsgfjgncrdp9mdu0 . A lot of thyroid research is fairly useless so it's good to see a study that will be useful whatever
