THYROID FOOD!
Listen - you got hypothyroidism yea? You are exercising loads and doing all the right stuff right? But you still feel knackered?
Then cook this meal - have it three times a week:
First, get your brown rice simmering.
Chop cauliflower, broccoli, courgettes and carrots. And two peppers - one red, one green.
Sesame oil in the pan, chuck in your cauli, carrots for two mins. Then add your peppers, two mins. Then add your broccoli, with loads and loads of garlic and fresh ginger and fresh green chilli with the seeds in. sling in lots of LIGHT soy sauce - has to be light. Keep it there for two mins more.
Prepare tons - tons - of coriander leaves. When your brown rice is done, strain it, chuck the coriander leaves through it. Chuck a few raisins in if you need.
Lace your now ready stir fry with dark soy sauce. Chuck the brown rice in to the lot, stir fry for 1 minute on high heat.
EAT IT! ITS THYROID FOOD!

Sounds Delicious! May I suggest BRAGGS Liquid Aminos in lieu of the Soy Sauce..also
in general
I am using regular table salt again after decades of using only sea salt....
not one doctor, endocrinologist or nutritionist is interested in testing my sodium levels, but what I've been reading,
sodium deficiency can bring on hypothryoidism as well as fluoride...
so check into filters for your water and I'm still on the search for a "natural" fluoride free toothpaste that I like...:flowerforyou:0 -
I'm also hypothyroid, and my husband noticed (when we were first dating), that I used sea salt...no iodine. He suggested I switch back to regular ole' table salt (with iodine), and my thyroid function has improved. Not all the way better, but I'm on very low levels of synthroid.0

There must be other natural sources of iodine besides sh!tty table salt, non?
Fluoride should be eliminated from drinking water as well as from shower water, non?0 -
Sounds delicious. Just curious..your recipe calls for Soy sauce but I have recently heard that Soy products interfere with thyroid medicine. Probably better to substitute with something else.0

I've been told to stay away from soy products as well as goitrogens (which affect the thyroid), and this includes broccoli and cauliflower.Sounds delicious.

OP: where did you get this information and why do you think it's "thyroid food"?0 -
I had no idea my thyroid was even hungry! Should it eat back it's exercise calories?0

How does one exercise their thyroid? Is there something you put under your chin to squeeze down for a neck workout? If I have a turkey gobbler neck, does that mean my thyroid is overweight?I had no idea my thyroid was even hungry! Should it eat back it's exercise calories?
But in all cereal bowls, I've been dealing with an endocrinologist for 7 years and never once has he mentioned any of this. And he's one of them smart ones that went to John Hopkins. :flowerforyou:0 -

Suzanne Somers has a new tool out. The "ThyroidMaster". Use that.
I had no idea you could spot-feed your organs. Does that mean maybe we can also spot-train our problem areas after all? I'm gonna go do the 10,000 crunch flat belly in 5 minutes challenge now.1 -

Except if you have thyroid problems you should limit your intake of goitrogens foods like broccoli and cauliflower. Also, most definitely limit your intake of soy as it can inflame your thyroid. USA soy is processed.1

I usually don't use this kind of language,, but this is downright SH*TTY advice ... Soy can can block the absorption of thyroid meds (hormone replacements) ... Cauliflower and broccoli are indeed goitrogens and should only be eaten cooked and in moderate quanlities if you are a thyroid patient ...
Besides *craptacular* iodized table salt, other sources of iodine are:
Sea Vegetables
Cow's Milk
Strawberries
Sea Vegetables being the highest ...
Sodium deficency does not cause hypothyroidism ... unless iodized salt is your only source of iodine (multivitamins usually have iodine), and you cut out all food containing said iodized salt, then being "sodium deficent" (I quote this, because most foos naturally contain some sodium, spinach, swiss chard, and celery are pretty high in sodium ... so becoming sodium deficent is quite difficult unless you go on so crazy restrictive diet or sweat to the point were you become dehydrated, at which point your other electrolytes would be off to and you would need medical attention) would make you iodine deficent by default ...
There is no "magical thyroid diet" ... Take your meds (T4/T3 combo (natural or synthetic) replacement preferably), eat healthy, and exercise ... Supplements that you may be low in.or may want to take are:
B12 (sublingual methycobalamyn)
Selenium (1 brazilnut a day will do)I
Iodine (eating sea vegetables is ideal, but check w/ your doctor first, iodine can aggravate Hashimoto's)
Magnesium
Vitamin D3
Iron
Note that ALL supplements should be taken a minimum of 4 hours before or after taking your thyroid meds, so as to not interfere with their absorption.
Also, some people with thyroid issues find it beneficial to go gluten free (such as myself). You can read why on your own (don't feel like typing anymore, lol ... I just read the original post and had to clear up the misinformation ...)
StopTheTyroidMadness.com and their Facebook page "FTPO" (For Thyroid Patients Only) are great resources and offer support and afvice ... Though, I do feel that they push the natural dessicated thyroid a bit too much, they are still good resources ...
Sorry for any typos, it's late, I didn't feel like proofing, and I'm visually impaired ... I just felt the need to clear up some of the misinformation here for my fellow hypothyroid patients ...
Okay, I lied, lol ... my OCD compelled me to fix the one glaring typo I saw ...0 -

Soy SAUCE is fermented so no problems there, but yes stay away from unfermented soy.
Also, table salt is recommended because it contains iodine. Which if deficient can cause. Hypothyroidism.0 -

Fermenting does nothing as far as preventing soy from inhibiting the absorption of thyroid meds ... it just makes it easier to digest ...
As far as recipes for actual thyroid ... Google "veal sweet bread recipes"... sounds disgusting, but they are so good ...0 -
The real question is what the HELL is a "courgette?" A small female courg, I presume.0
