A member asked:

Is protein good for a person with no thyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It doesn't matter: If you're on the correct dose of brand name T4 replacement and your thyroid levels are normal -- it's just like you never had a thyroid problem. Eat whatever you want to, but exercise and stay lean.
