Robin,

can you share your list of " foods to stay away from " for diseased thyroid as

my thyroid situation is 'borderline', dipping on either side at times?

TIA

I think it was (?) who had said that he stays away from

cruciferous vegetable altogether, even if they are cooked or

fermented. I decided to do the same, at least for now. I am in the

midst of trying to heal my thyroid and decided that it's not even

worth the risk of eating these foods (cruciferous vegetables), even

though they are supposed to be okay if cooked or fermented. The

other ones I stay away from completely. I haven't read anything yet

that mentions that cooking or fermenting them, except maybe the soy

(?), gets rid of the thyroid suppressing component of the food.

Canola is not even a temptation. Still, I'm not taking a risk with

any of these foods.

Peace and Love of Christ be with you,

Robin
