Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 i am currently taking 6.25 mg iodoral per day (will try 12.5 mg today then go back to 6.25 tomorrow). i've been getting some pain in my thyroid. is that normal after going on iodine? i had been taking a few drops of lugol's orally a day but had stopped when it caused reflux bad enough to burn my esophagus behind my vocal cords. thanks for any help! sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 thanks, victoria and stephanie (and chris for my other thread). it's reassuring to hear. can i do anything about it? sarah > > Yes some people feel that. It seems to be the thyroid " reawakening " and in some cases it is kicking the halides out. It is also normal to see it swell a bit as this is the mechanism by which it captures more iodine when it " sees " it in the blood stream. > > > > > pain in thyroid > > > > i am currently taking 6.25 mg iodoral per day (will try 12.5 mg today then go back to 6.25 tomorrow). i've been getting some pain in my thyroid. is that normal after going on iodine? i had been taking a few drops of lugol's orally a day but had stopped when it caused reflux bad enough to burn my esophagus behind my vocal cords. > > thanks for any help! > > sarah > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi , Are you taking the companion nutrients? These are very important to take while taking iodine. You can do the Salt Loading Protocol. Both of these topics are talked about in the Guide to Supplementing with Iodine in our Files. Kind regards, -Kathleen moderator pain in thyroid> > > > i am currently taking 6.25 mg iodoral per day (will try 12.5 mg today then go back to 6.25 tomorrow). i've been getting some pain in my thyroid. is that normal after going on iodine? i had been taking a few drops of lugol's orally a day but had stopped when it caused reflux bad enough to burn my esophagus behind my vocal cords.> > thanks for any help!> > sarah> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Make sure you are taking your supporting nutrients and maybe a little more salt. It usually passes in a few days. pain in thyroid> > > > i am currently taking 6.25 mg iodoral per day (will try 12.5 mg today then go back to 6.25 tomorrow). i've been getting some pain in my thyroid. is that normal after going on iodine? i had been taking a few drops of lugol's orally a day but had stopped when it caused reflux bad enough to burn my esophagus behind my vocal cords.> > thanks for any help!> > sarah> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
