Question 3

if someone have goiter what food not allowed to eat?

Accepted Answer

Cause of goiter: It is more important to determine the cause of goiter. Goiter is the term for enlarged thyroid gland and you need to consult your doctor to ascertain the cause and have proper treatment.

Question 4

foods shoulb be avoid in multinoduler goiter?

Accepted Answer

No food restrictions: Worldwide, the common reason for goiter is a lack of iodine, known as iodine deficiency.  In order to absorb as much iodine from the bloodstream as possible, the thyroid gets bigger due to an increase in thyroid cells.  In america, people get enough iodine in their diet (usually through iodine added to salt), so there aren't good nor bad foods with regard to the thyroid problem.

Question 5

i want to know which food we should eat in goiter operation?

Accepted Answer

Usual diet: No special diet is needed for thyroid surgery.

Question 6

what can i do to reduce a thyroid goiter?

Accepted Answer

Cause??: If a goiter is the result of anti-thyroid antibodies and your thyroid function is normal, there isn't much to be done.  It will eventually go down on its own as long as thryoid function is kept normal.  If from over/under active thyroid, medication may help.  Multinodular goiters are more complicated and may need surgery.  Other reasons also, so please discuss cause/treatment options with doctor.

Question 7

i have toxic goiter what food should i eat and avoid?

Accepted Answer

Get treated: Diet matters little or noting. You have graves disease or less likely one or more hot nodules. This will first make your life totally miserable and then kill you unless you accept definitive treatment (surgery, radioactive iodine) and until then the medication that will control it. Despite what you may read on the internet, diet and supplements aren't the key in managing life-threatening disease.

Question 8

hello good evening from philippine, is there any laser operation in goiter?how much the cost?

Accepted Answer

Laser surgery: There are no frequently implemented  surgeries for goiter that primarily use a laser.

Question 9

hi doc what is the best food for goiter?? and what medication should i take? thanks

Accepted Answer

Goiter: I don't know of anything that suggests food has an effect on a goiter.

That said, is your thyroid enlarged or troubling you?
Does the goiter interfere with your eating?
Trouble swallowing?

If any of these are causing a problem you should probably have a surgeon look at your goiter and decide what to do about it.

Question 10

can any food supplements like amway & usana help in reducing an enlarged goiter which is not functioning at all?

Accepted Answer

No: Most "idiopathic nodular goiter" is probably caused by genetic mutations with little malignant potential. Diet won't affect it but suppressing the thyroid-pituitary system by giving supplemental thyroid may reduce the thyroid's size.
