Yes, a hypothyroidism patients eat beetroot, carrot, red lentils. It's a good idea to limit your intake of brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and bok choy, because research suggests digesting these vegetables may block the thyroid's ability to utilize iodine, which is essential for normal thyroid function.
