Hypothyroid Diet???

SKHaz1

Hey everyone!
So I always hear that if you're hypothyroid you can't eat this and you can't eat that. The big ones I have heard are no cabbage because its a goitergenic, and that soy can somehow affect the way that your medication is working. I am on medication, but it is so difficult for me to lose weight and I can gain 10lbs with the snap of a finger. What other foods are off limits? What do you know about optimizing the effect of the medication?

Also, I had to beg my family doctor to test me for hypothryoid and she put me on my levo. How many of you found better care or outcomes by going to an endocrinologist?

Thanks!

We can do this!

I'm on the diet now. I have been hypo-thyroid 18 yrs now. The diet has been huge for me thus far, I can't say enough good things. My symptoms which I could never get rid of before are disappearing. Lot's of info that I have covered it in my blog. You are welcome to just copy/paste and print. (I apologise in advance for the "choppy" post, I'm typing with a 21mo old in my lap who's helping me, lol)
