7.Organ Meats
If you eat things like kidneys, heart, or liver, you might get a lot of lipoic acids. That’s a compound in these and some other foods. You can also buy it as a supplement. But if you get too much, it could mess with the way your thyroid works. Lipoic acid could also affect the thyroid medicines you take.
8.Gluten and Your Thyroid
Gluten-Free Foods
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Unless you’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease, it probably won’t affect your thyroid. Gluten can damage the small intestines of people with celiac disease. They can have other autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s disease (which leads to an underactive thyroid) and Graves’ disease (which leads to an overactive thyroid). If you have celiac disease, a gluten-free diet may help prevent these thyroid diseases.
Thyroid Medication and Your Food
The foods you eat can affect your thyroid medicine. They can slow down how your body absorbs medicine. It can also affect how well it does it.
- Take medicine on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning.
- Iron and calcium can interact with your thyroid medicine and keep it from working.
- Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information about timing your food and other meds around your thyroid treatment.
