If not chewing food up good, can that cause under active thyroid problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely : Doesn't matter how much you chew it will not activate your thyroid. You need thyroid supplement. Please stay with your levothyroxine. It is a good habit to chew your food well but nothing to do with your thyroid function.
