Breakfast ideas (with synthroid)
Posted , 6 users are following.
I was recently diagnosed with hypo. My doctor put me on 50 mcg of synthroid, which I heard can be ineffective if you eat a lot of fiber after taking it.
I'm used to eating oatmeal in the morning, but now I'm wondering if that has too much fiber in it (I wait an hour between taking my pill and eating).
Are there any breakfasts that you guys would suggest for synthroid users? Thanks!

My name is Shelly and I am a nurse in the USA. I have Hashimoto's thyriod disease since 1987.
Thyroid meds need an hour to work and attach in the bowel to receptor sites. Food will compete for that also and block LEVO. Take it 1 hour ahead of eating. Some people take it at bedtime and that can be an option also.
Eat gluten free oatmeal. Avoid gluten as it now known to bother the thyroid and bowels. You can eat what you like just watch package labels for Gluten.
Fruits like Strawberries are good, use low fat milk.
I hope this helps,
Shelly
