Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder

by Diane
(Pittsburgh, Pa)

I have a similar history and believe I may have an underlying issue with my thyroid from an autoimmune disorder.

I have done much research also and have researched foods that may lower you thyroid levels. There may be a correlation between allergies with soy and peanuts because these are considered goitrogens.

Also I have found that because many foods are now low in sodium they have eliminated supplementation of iodine.

I think that even though many of the legumes may be a source of iodine you should avoid them until soy is eliminated as additives in our food products such as infant formulas, pediasure, proten bars and protein shakes, Ensure, and Boost.
