Iodine and Fish Oil

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any information on how much, if any, iodine is

contained in various fish oil capsules? I have an iodine sensitivity

ever since a May 2004 thyroidectomy, so I have to be very careful of

iodine in foods. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Nick

Every time I have fish, or other excess iodine, I get heart arrhythmia later that day. I've had this happen many times, so I know it's the iodine. It's probably interfering with the thyroid meds I take. Excess iodine can cause arrhythmias.

===============================================

I have that with fish as well but it is not iodine. I am sensitive to the protein in the fish. I take 50 mg Iodoral w/o any problems. I had a TT in April 2000 for ThyCa. I wonder if that is your issue. Many Dr's will tell you it is the iodine but they are finding it isn't. What else bugs you?

When you say you're sensitive to the protein in the fish, do you also

get heart arrhythmia?

I tried kelp drops for 3 or 4 days about a year ago, and I had heart

arrhythmia like you wouldn't believe. Nick

Interesting. I avoid fish like the plague. I haven't had any in literally 20 years so I couldn't tell you what it is like anymore. I remember feeling like I couldn't breath.
