Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 , I have only just realised that the amount of seaweed I ate in Japan could have contributed to my Graves. I am a vegetarian and I ate a lot of seaweed in Japan because I had read it had a lot of vitamin B12. A girl I also worked with was a vegetarian and she also ate a lot - she got Graves before me. I also just found out that the Japanese treat the processed seaweed with iodine. If you can stay away from most Japanese food - it is bound to have a high level of iodine. Also, my endo wanted to drop my dosage last time I saw her to 1and a quarter mgs - a quarter of a tablet - however tapazole tablets are very small and she thought I couldn't break them so she kept me on 2.5mgs. I am going to try to do what Terry suggested and break them so I have a quarter in the morning and a quarter at night. If it turns to powder I will just put it in some juice.
