my endo says iodine will make my goiter/nodules worse

[Guest guest]

hi- i'm hypothyroid with a nodulized goiter. my endo (a 'good endo'--though i

find

him to be totally limited when it comes to adrenal issues) is monitoring the

goiter (he physically measures my neck each visit, among other things), but has

told me specifically to avoid iodine and things high in it such as seaweed or

kelp. on

this board and others, lots of people have been telling me to start taking

iodine. who is right? the endo wants to 'put my thyroid to sleep,' and feels

that iodine would do the opposite.
