A member asked:
If hypothyroidism causes hypochloridia (low stomach acid) will iodine supplementation kick both into action?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe...: Be careful with iodine. If hypothyroidism is due to iodine deficiency, perhaps, but often thyroid problems are due to other reasons. Do not overdose on iodine. Find a good integrative medicine doctor who can help explore why your thyroid might not be functioning well. Consider betaine hcl to help digestion in the meantime.
