A member asked:

I am detected with hashimoto's hypothyroidism (tsh 4.67) and taking levothyroxine. my salt has iodine.should i change it to non iodized salt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to: Taking iodized salt will not have any adverse effect. Your thyroid probably still makes some thyroxine and needs iodine.
