Hi everyone,

As i'm having a baby I started taking omega 3 oils (vegetarian version). Did anyone else know about the links between thyroid and omega 3?! i'm quite annoyed my gp didn't suggest trying it.

Clarence2013, GPs aren't very knowledgeable about thyroid or nutrition and supplements. Most probably aren't aware of the adverse effects of soy and goitrogens on the thyroid let alone the benefits of various supplements.

I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy :)
