My consultant has told me that these could be making me worse. I've read all I can on the subject and can find nowhere this time be true. Wrong consultant?

When you say “making you worse”, can you explain what he means exactly? Are you feeling worse or are you having symptoms, if so what are they?

I notice in a post a couple of months ago, you were about to have a private thyroid blood test. Can you share results with us Ripley59?

I’ve never heard of probiotics causing adverse issues, though I would leave a 2 hour gap between taking them & your daily thyroid medication.

I noticed this article from the American Thyroid Association (a name given to me by my Endocrinologist when I saw him early last year).

You need to read the full article though.
