According to an expert for the Mayo Clinic, it has been thought that soy could affect the effectiveness of the body absorbing synthetic thyroid medication. However, there isn't a lot of research that concludes this to be true. Therefore, the recommendation has been to wait to take soy products, and all food products that contain soy, at least four hours after taking thyroid medication.

If you have any questions regarding your thyroid medication, your diet, and if your thyroid medication is being absorbed properly, be sure to consult your doctor.

Why is wheat bad for thyroid problems?

Wheat isn't necessary a bad thing to incorporate into your diet if you have a thyroid condition. However, some thyroid patients have noticed that reducing the amount of gluten they eat, or eliminating it altogether from their diet, has improved some of the symptoms they experience as a result of their thyroid condition. This doesn't mean that eating gluten-free will improve your thyroid function, it just means it might help reduce the severity of symptoms like constipation, weight gain, fluid retention to name a few.

If you have hyperthyroidism which is bad for you iron or iodine?

If you have hyperthyroidism, neither iron nor iodine is bad for you. Excessive consumption of either can be dangerous however, and since iodine is fuel the thyroid uses to produce thyroid hormone, anti-thyroid drugs (ATD's) are used to help the body lower its ability to use iodine in the thyroid. Iodine is necessary for life however, as is iron. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
