I recently was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was not put on any special diet. I was given a pill to take daily and that is all.

Treatment varies depending on the cause of the condition and the severity of symptoms. Hyperthyroidism is usually treated with antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine (which destroys the thyroid and thus stops the excess production of hormones), or surgery to remove the thyroid. Consult an Endocrinologist.
Please see the webpages for more details on Hyperthyroidism.

Try to avioid soy. Make sure to have your levels checked often. In most cases the doc. preforms radioactive idodine therapy to kill the over active thyroid. This can in turn casue hypothyrodism which casuses an underactive thyroid...not fun and no cure. So,know all of your treatment options and take your medication.

i had hyperthyroidism, which in return has now turned to hypothyroidism. i take medication eveyday. i was told by my doctor, that soy based products will affect the thyroid if you have problems with it to begin with.

i havnt found that too many other foods have an affect, although certain medications can put your thyroid through hell-allways read the "interactions or warnings" on all meds before taking them,when you are taking medication for your thyroid.

IT IS BEST TO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FIRST BUT THIS CAN HELP:

AVOID the following foods, starting when instructed prior to your radioactive iodine test, and continue until after your radioactive iodine treatment is completed.


Iodized salt, sea salt (Non-iodized salt may be used).
Dairy products (milk, cheese, cream, yogurt, butter, ice cream)
Eggs
Seafood (fish, shellfish, seaweed, kelp)
Foods that contain the additives: carragen, agar-agar, algin, algin= ates
Cured and corned foods (ham, lox, corned beef, sauerkraut)
Bread products that contain iodate dough conditioners (usually small bakery breads are safe; it's best to bake it yourself or substitute with Matzos)
Foods and medications that contain red food dyes (consult your doctor before discontinuing any red-colored medicines). The specific bad red dye is Red Dye #3 (erythrosine). The problem is that most ingredient lists do not tell you which red dye is used.
Chocolate (for its milk content)
Molasses
Soy products (soy sauce, soy milk, tofu)

A few months ago, I was very sick, zero energy, freezing cold, depressed, weight gain, thought I was dying. I read every word of this Hypothyroidism Revolution program and followed all the advice. My life turned around the first week. I started to feel human again. Within weeks my energy came back and I felt like living again.

It is called graves disease. So you have to make a choice on what way to take care of that there is different treatments depending on your age and all. Talk to your doctor about all of this.

I am not aware of foods that will help this condition, but I do know that medicine and surgery can help. Consult a doctor about this and see what they can do to help you.
