Hi all,
So recently I feel like I may actually be iodine deficient and because of hashimotos I have actively been avoiding it in supplements and my diet is prob low in it too.
I always crave fish and seafood and wonder if this is more a biological craving for iodine possibly.
I’ve also been supplementing 200mcg selenium. My TPO antibodies had actually reduced since last year (523 to 486) but I think I might actually be over supplementing. Have noticed a more persistent garlic breath and slight changes to nails etc also
However I am also on the lower end for ferritin.
So my question is- will the gP be responsive to testing both selenium And iodine? Or will he just label me as crazy if I ask for it.
How long before the blood tests should I stop selenium supplements so it doesn’t skew results?
Many thanks
