A member asked:

Is it possible to shrink an 80 gram goiter with the autoimmune protocol diet if synthroid (thyroxine) has not shrunk it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If accurate, that is a big goiter. I am not familiar with that diet, but I am guessing it contains iodine. The american diet is already loaded with iodine. I am very very skeptical that any diet will help your goiter. If it is bothering you (restricting breathing, swallowing) surgery may be indicated. See your endocrinologist.
