13. Interesting about the vitamin D

Fri Feb 7, 2014, 03:08 PM

Feb 2014

I'm hypothyroid as well and have been on Synthroid for years, same dose but my physical last month showed I was out of range a little. I thought maybe it was because we've been drinking a lot of green smoothies lately and I learned that raw greens and crucifers apparently can suppress thyroid function and the effectiveness of the meds. So now I'm steaming them first and will find out in June when I see my doctor if the cooked veggies reversed the spike.

Now I'm thinking maybe I should take Vitamin D, too, because obviously we don't get a lot of sun up here in the winter.
