Question 1

what sort of diet should i have with hyperthyroidism ?

Accepted Answer

A good one: You need iodine that may have to be given as a supplement. The japanese get their iodine from eating seaweed. Otherwise eat only god-made food and leave out all the "junk" as we all should do.

Question 2

please suggest me the proper diet for hyperthyroidism.

Accepted Answer

Varies: A specialized diet for hyperthyroidism can vary from person to person.  It may depend upon the dose of meds you may be taking, your present diet, supplements, exercises, etc.  I would talk to a Dr. who is well versed on this subject and has all your history.

Question 3

i am a vegitarian for 1 year, i now have hyperthyroidism. can my diet cause this?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Very unlikely.  If you had a goiter, and if you lived in an iodine deficient part of the world (the us is not one of these), and if you greatly increased your dietary iodine, it could precipitate hyperthyroidism.  More likely it is coincidental graves disease.  Do thyroid problems run in your family?

Question 4

hello. my mom suffers fro hyperthyroidism and disbeted. what kind of diet works for both taking into account that she has lost weight from the former?

Accepted Answer

Hyper thy dm: Diet is not the important thing right now. She needs to get her thyroid issue straightened out then work on DM if still a problem.

Question 5

besides hormone imbalance or hyperthyroidism or diet is there any orher condition that cancause rapid weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Weight Gain: You lose weight in hyperthyroidism even with voracious appetite. On the other hand, you gain weight if your thyroid is under active . Do you have any swelling of leg or abdomen? Do you take too much salt? See your PCP for blood tests.

Question 6

can diet cause an irradiated overactive thyroid since treated for years as hypothyroid to become slightly hyperthyroidism according to latest tests.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If your thyroid became underactive after radiation treatment for overactive thyroid,which is almost always the case, perhaps your thyroid supplement dose has become too strong and accounts for the high thyroid level now. Your physician or endocrinologist,who knows all your past and current history, can advise you best,however.

Question 7

will diet, exercise and natural remedies help hyperthyroid - graves disease?

Accepted Answer

No: Graves' disease is an autoimmune thyroid disease that needs to be treated with medication, radioactive iodine or surgery.  While diet and exercise will help with other aspects of your life, it will not do much for the graves'.  There is no natural remedies that will treat graves' disease.

Question 8

can severe caloric restriction over a period of 1 year on a low protein diet lead to hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid dysfunction : Thyroid dysfunction not caused by diet changes.

Question 9

i think i may have some symptoms of hyperthyroidism e.g pain in knee joints, hair loss, anxiety..can you recommend any diet supplements for this?

Accepted Answer

Medicine: If you really have hyperthyroidism, you need surgery, radiation, or medicine (depending on the cause).  Diet supplements won't do a thing.
