A member asked:
Can a hashimoto thyroid goiter be shrunk with diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect of diet: Unfortunately, it is an autoimmune disease, controlled by antibodies to the thyroid, and diet will not help. If you are hypothyroid, you may benefit from levothyroxine. But it is hard to get that inflamed thyroid to shrink.
