Just been diagnosed with graves disease-should diet be important?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Diet is always important, but doesn't affect graves' disease. Only antithyroid drugs or radioiodine can treat it. Beta blockers will relieve symptoms while other treatments take effect.

Not really.: Diet wouldn't matter much for graves'. Just seek appropriate therapy with i-131 or an anti-thyroid medication (ptu, methimazole).
