Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 No kale for four hours after taking synthroid. Just as you can not take calcium or iron supplements. You need to increase your water intake to a minimum of six 8 oz glasses. You also NEED FATS. it helps in lubrication and many sorts of things. You must have olive oil or avacado .. Healthy fats. •Robbin On Jan 28, 2012, at 10:35 AM, "apricot855" <apricot043@...> wrote: In the 3 days I've been having green smoothies, I have blown up.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thank you Robbin. It's a disappointment to read that because I want my smoothie in the morning, afternoon and evening. :-) 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.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi Robbin. I agree with you. I have my thyroid, and I take kelp with iodine in it. I think iodine helps with many things. I do not tolerate the high dose that some advocate, but I do take more than RDA. Thanks, Amy > > 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Amy, I'm not that familiar with thyroid meds, but could you switch your dosage to the evening, perhaps after supper with a non-smoothie snack? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thyroid medication must be taken on an empty stomach. With nothing following for 45 min. Some believers feel no coffee either following synthroid •Robbin On Jan 29, 2012, at 1:55 AM, "stacy_goes_raw" <stacy_goes_raw@...> wrote: Amy, I'm not that familiar with thyroid meds, but could you switch your dosage to the evening, perhaps after supper with a non-smoothie snack? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi . Since reading up on the problem and taking recommended actions, I'm doing much better! Huge difference. My skin warmed up and I constant fatigue is gone. My stomach is no longer distended and bowels are moving on their own. Not everyone is sensitive to goitergenic foods. For those sensitive, goitergens deactivate the active thyroid hormone. Renders the hormone useless. Every cell uses active thyroid hormone, and without it the cells stop their normal activity. I backed off a day, and then tried heating the spinach as recommended. Goitergens can be deactivated by heat. It worked! I did not find information that said not to take near meds. Just which foods have goitergens and when heating will work to deactivate them. Goitergens are found in soy, some seeds, and fruits. It isn't just greens. Most likely, the reason I had such a big reaction is that I took in a LOT of spinach over a 3 day period. There are plenty of non-goitergenic greens, and I feel I have lots of options now that I know what to do. I've got my green smoothie ready for tomorrow and I'm getting better at making them.
