Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi Pat, Don't think there should be any problem with Kombucha tea and your thyroid med. You might ask your pharmacist or look online to see if any foods are contraindicated for Levothyroxine.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Kombucha does not interfere with the action of your thyroid medication. I have had several blood tests since I started drinking kombucha and there was no change. Just continue to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with plain water and wait 1/2 hour before eating, especially eating anything with calcium or iron. Food interferes with absorption, and calcium and iron bind to the thyroid molecule, thus reducing effectiveness. So, don't take your medication with your kombucha, keep them separate. To your health, Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
