Dear Lybrate user: Here are few tips helpful for you: Food can decrease the absorption of this medicine, especially foods high in fiber (bran cereal, whole-grain toast, fruits, vegetables, beans, etc.). Don’t stop eating high-fiber foods; just eat them several hours apart from taking your medicines. Also, avoid taking calcium supplements or supplements that contain iron (such as a multivitamin/mineral) along with your medicine. These too can block absorption of the medicine. Certain foods, while good for you, can affect the production of thyroid hormone. These include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and collard greens. You don’t have to avoid them, but don’t eat them at the same time that you take your medicine. Cooking these vegetables seems to lessen this effect. Go easy with soy foods such as soy milk, tofu etc. Soy contains a substance called genistein, which can decrease thyroid hormone production. Again, it’s not that you can’t eat soy foods, but limit them to a few times per week. Poultry, seafood, lean meat, whole grains, onions, beans, almonds, avocados, seeds, and low-fat dairy foods may be helpful. Go easy on fatty and sugary foods (this will help your diabetes management, too!). Don’t take dietary supplements, such as iodine supplements, geared towards treating thyroid problems without first discussing this with your health-care provider. Revert back for any assistance.

Depending on Diabetic control, diet can vary. While I personally believe that a patient who is well controlled must be able to enjoy life, which includes food too, conventional logic is just the opposite of that. So conventionally, ideally, if you are controlled diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid person, then your diet must be high in fibre and low on fats and refined carbs. Low glycemic index foods are a good option if you can stick to them. Raw foods, including salads, veg or fruit juices, smoothies, sprouts are very helpful. Going heavy on whole foods especially millets, red rice, whole wheat, bajra etc are good substitute to regular grains. While there is a growing trend that high fat diets are showing great results, it is not accepted wholeheartedly by physicians and hence not advocated here. On a whole, once your diet sets in. It should become your second nature and not be a restriction that you don't enjoy. Diet is a part of a lifestyle. A happy lifestyle is crucial to managing and even reversing illnesses. While on the point, I'd like to mention that when patients treated with Homeopathy achieve consistent control and show indications of reversal, thy are able to tolerate occasional sweets and savouries too, which is a dream come true to many. So its possible, albeit under guidance. Remember, moderation is key!
