Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 No, I'm not. I'm not taking anything else with it that could be causing that reaction. It has happened three different times now. I'm rather confused...- Jess On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 5:04 PM, ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@...> wrote: Are you taking any of the companion nutrients? It's a pretty low dose. Steph Throat Swelling!? I am taking a very weak solution of iodine orally to build up to a therapeutic dose, this morning I took ~500 mcg or 0.5mg of a health food store solution of iodine in purified water. About 2 minutes afterwards (and still occuring an hour later!) my throat began to swell near my lymph nodes. It's not swelling any further, it isn't painful other than making my ears feel full, but it is worrisome and annoying. I'm having to actively try to swallow normally, feels like I'm gulping.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That may be the issue. You need to take the other items with iodine. Steph Throat Swelling!?

My Nurse Practioner had this happen too, when she started ioderal. It is hard for me to tell as I have Hashi's and have swelling in my thyroid and throat cyclicly. I think your thyroid is puffing up to use all the iodine it can get for hormones. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
