There are many reasons a thyroid may be under-functioning. What to eat should be influenced by the specific problem that is causing the hypoactivity of the thyroid gland.

A balanced diet is important for all medical conditions. However, if the reason for the hypothyroid condition is insufficient iodine, then a diet richer in iodine may be helpful. Japanese research has shown that increased selenomethionine in the diet may help autoimmune hypothyroidism. Research also suggests that decreased iodine consumption may be helpful in remission of autoimmune thyroid disease, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
