Foods to strictly avoid: Goitrogens: foods that block iodine uptake into the thyroid, which is needed to create thyroid hormone. In addition to blocking iodine, goitrogens can block the absorption of thyroid medications. Goitrogens also have the potential to enlarge the thyroid tissue and create a goiter. Green leafy vegetables kale, spinach, cabbage Cruciferous vegetables broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, turnips, radish Certain fruits strawberries, peaches, Soy and its derivatives Many of the foods on this list are rich in nutrients so avoiding them completely may not be beneficial. The vegetables in these groups when cooked are much less likely to cause harm because heat inactivates goitrogenic compounds Gluten: many patients with hypothyroidism have a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Gluten molecules mimic the antithyroid molecules and thus eating gluten can act as a trigger the attack of the thyroid by the immune system. Gluten can also irritate the lining of the intestines and lead to decreased absorption of thyroid medication and nutrients. Wheat, barley, oats Dairy products: like gluten, dairy molecules can trigger an attack on the thyroid leading to further damage to the tissue. Milk Cheese Yogurt Artificial sweeteners High-fat foods: patients with hypothyroid are at risk for high cholesterol and should limit foods with high saturated fat content Red meat, processed foods, fried food, butter High sugar foods: pastries, candies, desserts, ice cream FOR MEDICATION CONSULT ONLINE IN PRIVATE
