Nikki21, the low iodine diet is only necessary if you are awaiting radioactive iodine ablatement. After that you can eat anything you like other than any form of unfermented soy as soy isn't good and can affect absorption and uptake of Levothyroxine.

Good news that you've got the all-clear! I'm currently seeing a nutritionist for various digestive problems and have been surprised at her very wide-ranging knowledge. If you could find a well qualified one in your area I'm sure he or she would have really good ideas for you. Otherwise you may find some ideas here:

kriscarr.com/ living with cancer for 10 years, shares her recipes which are interesting and unusual and very healthy. She was one of the inspirations for Ella Woodward (Deliciously Ella) when she was trying to cure herself of POTS.

amazon.co.uk/Nourishing-Tra... superb cook book drawing from traditions around the world and with explanations of the scientific reasons behind them, very different from Kris Carr's diet and still geared to being as healthy as possible.

articles.mercola.com/sites/... a quick way to get a lot of nutritional goodness easily and articles.mercola.com/sites/.... some examples of what to juice. There are plenty of good juicing recipe books on Amazon, but also a lot of recipes free online.

Hope these help, they are sites I use and have found to be good, lots of others out there as well.
