Can high does of iodine cause hypothyroidism? i got hypothyroidism about a year after i was taking liquid iodine a few times.

Iodine low thyroid?: yes it can. I would google that for detailed answer as to why as it is complicated. but you need to take more that just a few sips. Why were you taking it? It is taken to prevent thyroid damage from radiation usually.
