A member asked:
I take synthroid (thyroxine) in am before breakfast. are there any foods i should be avoiding? what about lemon water , grapefruit, walnuts , milk, any worries?

Synthroid (thyroxine): You should wait about an hour after you take your synthroid (thyroxine) or it won't be properly absorbed. You may be better off taking it at bed-time - about an hour after a snack. Your food and drink list sounds just fine.
