Foods That Make Hyperthyroidism WORSE

If you have hyperthyroidism then you're going to want to avoid these foods as they can make your symptoms worse:

The first is any food that contains caffeine either naturally or because it's been added to it. That includes coffee, many teas, energy drinks, and even some medications.

The second would be the most common food allergens like milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, tree nuts, and shellfish. This is because hyperthyroidism results in more histamine production.

And third, foods that are high in iodine. You don't need to avoid iodine completely but high iodine content foods are not ideal.

At this point I may as well not eat again

I’m vegan and avoid seaweed, use Himalayan pink salt, eat Brazil nuts, and avoid food allergens like he says. I can go months without symptoms. I started back not having omega 3s or Brazil nuts and eating peanut butter and drinking coffee and all my symptoms came back. Hope this helps.

I’m glad to know most of you here have my same problem I’m still not sure what it is but got diagnosed yesterday

[TheBabyjode]

And Gluten, gluten is a big one to cut out

[mayahdoss]

Can you talk about hyperthyroidism and fertility/pregnancy? Great content thank you!

[Sagiqueen]

Thanks for the info doctor. I have hyperthyroidism and would like to learn more on what to eat and what not to eat.

[slpmaterialgirl]

Those food groups make up my entire diet lol very sad for myself and everyone else here for the same reason

[leannshort]

There must be a way to heal Hyperthyroidism and then be able to eat these foods again and have a cup of coffee…. DAMN!

[bonniecute]

Excellent information on Grave's Disease. Thank you very much. I've recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. 😢

[OME]

I wish to learn about foods I CAN eat. Removed eggs, dairy, gluten, nuts and fish, what’s left? Carrots and potatoes! My dog has a more varied diet than me 😭

I'm not so sure about the iodine part. I got diagnosed with graves 2 years ago. I started eating mainly eggs, meat, lots of liver, fish and chese, I avoid grain products and anything processed. I added a lot of supplements like D3, K2, Omega 3, Zinc, Magnesium, Boron, Tyrosine, Taurine, Tryptophane, Selenium and it got better. But I went severely hypo and I've had a congested sinus for years. I tried out iodine multiple times. Taking kelp capsules. Sometimes I got hyper from them but I felt more healthy. I slowly started to get accustomed to them now I take 200 mcg a day on top of my food and for the first time in 10 years my sinuses are clear and don't infect anymore. Also I finally came off of my thyroidblockers. One youtube canal which I don't remember right now also told that you can heal graves by taking iodine because most of the time it is some kind of deficiency (also selenium and other stuff). It took a long time but it keeps getting better and works. I'm really posotive that most of our modern illneses which almost nobody had like 200 years ago are just deficiencies and too much of the wrong stuff like sugar, fructose, and seed oils. Instead of protein, saturated animal fats like butter and cheese and so on.

I have Graves with hyperthyroid with hypothyroid symptoms so I'm not losing weight I'm not skinny I have gained weight and methimazole made me gain more weight and I'm barely eating

[melissasmuse]

But the interesting thing, when I do an iodine test on my body meaning I swipe it on my skin, and it disappears in an hour. Indicating that my iodine is low. I don’t understand how my iodine is high with hyperthyroid?

Wish more doctors did health teaching like this. No doctor has ever discussed with me foods to avoid 🙁

[nitahenderson]

Thank you!! I cut down on my caffeine intake and heart palpitations stopped, hot flashes went away ❤

[anthonybourdainsblacknephe]

I have episodes of extreme anxiety, dizziness, sweating and increased heart rate if I eat a meal in the afternoon. It never happens after I eat breakfast or after dinner. Only in the afternoon. Are these symptoms explainable?

[leiatyndall]

So, according to It's Me again, Jen (Save Your Thyroid) apparently the lower lobes of the thyroid have some control over the upper lobes. I think they called it "up regulation." This was discussed in her recent video abt a brand new technique where a specially targeted embolism is used to kill off part of the thyroid, but not necessarily the whole thing. It was prettu interesting to me.

[DeionHarris]

and i should have said this earlier but what is it about the eggs that mess with hyperthyroidism im curious to know if anybody can tell me because i been eating egg whites for about 4 years now everyday and about 5 times a day and i eat the yolk just 2 times a week but i overload on the whites so i want to know something because i could have been messing my self up all them years dam

[Silvinhasantos-jutw]

Thank you so much Dr, I would like to be your patient

[vadebonify]

Because of the extra histamine production, is it okay to take things for methylation support like Creatine, Vitamin B's, Trimethylglycine, etc..??
