Hypothyroid to control:
Limit your intake of Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and turnips, because research suggests digesting these vegetables may block the thyroid's ability to utilize iodine, which is essential for normal thyroid function.
Foods you can eat: eat eggs, meats, fish, most fruit and vegetables, gluten-free grains and seeds, dairy and non-caffeinated beverages.
