A member asked:

Ive been taking synthroid for hypothyroid since age 7. is it true soy products interfere with synthroid? id like to become vegan, if possible, and eat tofu and tempeh. would it be safe for me to eat tofu and tempeh?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should be periodically monitoring your TSH level to ensure that your hypothyroidism is under control. If tofu affects it, it should show up in TSH levels. Note that vegans are at risk of vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency and if you become vegan, take relevant supplements. Wish you good health!
