Iodine is a necessary supplement for a healthy thyroid. My best guess might be that if you are craving salt your body is seeking iodine. Make sure the salt you are ingesting is iodized and as always make sure your thyroid levels are where they need to be. In addition be sure to monitor your blood pressure. Best of luck to you!

I find supplements help. B12 shots also help. Fresh dandelion greens added to salad or smoothie help a ton. They’re bitter, so they taste bad in a smoothie, but they kill the cravings. The best way to kill cravings is dandelion greens with protein powder, ice, strawberries, stevia smoothie. A high protein diet also helps.
I also tend to drink diet sodas- not the best solution.
Also, the awareness of realizing that eating more does not make the hunger go away helps. You can look at what you’ve eaten, and evaluate whether that should be enough.

I actually don’r have much of an appetite and don’t eat very much. Mainly I eat vegetables and mushrooms. I’m not vegetarian, just don’t have the appetite for much else.
It’s just when the salt craving hits crisps seem to be the fix-it fast remedy.
I stopped supplements as nothing seemed to help my other symptoms.
Thanks again.

Thyroid symptoms can mimick many other problems including diabetes, magnesium deficiencies, and other deficiencies and conditions. You can eliminate or reduce your symptoms by simple good quality vitamin and mineral supplements. It’s important to a avoid fillers and allergens such as alfalfa when you choose a supplement. Coblimated Bs can also be helpful as they are a more usable form for B6 and B12.
