Sea kelp will not help you lose weight. Have you been diagnosed with hypothyroidism? Are you on any medication? Please give more information so that members can help.

i am only on levothyroxine 50mg

How long have you been on 50 mcg levo? Could be that you need an increase in dose. Weight-gain is a hypo symptom, and you'll only get rid of it by optimising your T3 level. Sea kelp will not help you do that.

Do you have a copy of your latest labs? If so, post the results here, with the ranges, and people will have a better idea of what's going on.

doc has never z bot t3 .bn on them 4 a yr ni keep takin blood z every ok 😐

Sorry, I don't understand. Your doc has never what T3?

So, you've been on 50 mcg for one year? You should never just accept your doctor saying that everything is 'OK'. Doctors know very little about thyroid. You should always ask for a print-out of your results. Ring the receptionist and ask her for the last labs. You've got to know exactly what was tested, and what was the result, otherwise, no-one can help you.
