Hello, Thanks for the query. A person with hypothyroidism, when on treatment with adequate dose of thyroxine, should maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L.At that level all the symptoms are in check. There is no special diet for this condition. Only thing to be remembered is to avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Consume more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Always use whole grain flour for chapati and roti. Avoid foods made from maida and bakery items. Plus exercise regularly for at least 1 hour a day. Thanks.
