A member asked:
Can i eat black walnuts while taking synthroid (thyroxine)? i usually wait an hour after taking it to eat anything but i am confused as to whether it's ok to eat
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait an hour.: Since some foods interfere with the efficient absorption of thyroid hormone, it is best to adopt the general rule of waiting an hour after a dose of synthroid (thyroxine) before eating.
