My thyroid was totally removed last year due to cancer. It's important to make sure you get enough iodine if you have thyroid issues. Our breast and thyroid tissues both need iodine for good healthy function. •Robbin On Jan 28, 2012, at 11:34 AM, "apricot855" <apricot043@...> wrote:

I am reading now that spinach is a goitergenic and I might need to heat. I am wondering how much heating is enough. Now that I am afraid I will probably steam it to oblivion. A list of goitergenic foods here:

I am colder, but I thought it because my caloric intake is down. My fatigue increased, and I speculated that the fiber was binding the thyroid medication. I increased my thyroid meds and that helped a little.
