Think you might be gluten sensitive? Take the quiz:

Becoming deficient in iodine can cause many issues, including:

- Failure to thrive, as well as growth and development issues in the brain and nervous system of infants (due to maternal iodine deficiency in utero as well as outside the womb)
- Cretinism or mental retardation in young children
- Decreased fertility rates in men and women
- Goiter, or enlargement of the thyroid gland, leading to pressure on the larynx and vocal cords and trouble swallowing
- Fatigue, brain fog, and muscle pain
- Fibrocystic breast disease and extreme breast tenderness
- Death

Because many of these are the same symptoms associated with thyroid problems, doctors will often prescribe medication to ease these symptoms without truly getting to the root of the problem. It is best to request testing for an iodine deficiency prior to accepting medication and receiving a potentially incorrect treatment.

So, can I supplement with iodine if I am taking Levothyroxine? I don't have Hashimotos or thyroid cancer. They don't know why my thyroid levels are low. Now I know why they are!

Most people have nonoptimal iodine and D. If you follow RDA you will be unhealthy and need plenty of meds. The sad part is expecting moms low iodine and D result in lower iq, brain function, asthma, hypothyroidism of babies. Phrama does not want you supplementing.

I didn't understand your point here. I work in a health field so I have general understanding of physiology. This was not clear.
