Prayer of Serenity
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

The important thing to remember about hypothyroidism and diet is that certain foods, supplements and medications can impair absorption of synthetic thyroid hormone. These include:
Iron supplements or vitamin supplements containing iron
Calcium supplements
Soybean flour
Aluminum hydroxide, a popular antacid
Sucralfate, an ulcer medication
Some cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as cholestyramine and colestipol
The best advice is to take synthetic thyroid hormone on an empty stomach and several hours before or after these particular foods, supplements and medications to avoid potential interactions.
